AD3000 - Orion Master vs Ranger Legend Usage & Stats

AD3000 is a turn-based, 4X science fiction strategy game in which the player leads one of ten races to dominate the galaxy through a combination of diplomacy and conquest while developing technology, exploring and colonizing star systems. Victory is gained either by eliminating all opponents or by winning a vote on peaceful unification. The strategy logic and user interactive concept are inspired by the original Steve Barcia's Master of Orion.

Features: - 10 playable races, each with a specialty. * Each race is predisposed to like or dislike some of the other races, and is advantaged or disadvantaged in different research fields. * Each race has a ruler personality and an objective. These traits guide their politics and economic management. Races may occasionally revolt and change traits. - 7 normal and 6 hostile planet types. * The various hostile types require increasingly advanced technology to colonize. * Hostile planets are the most likely to be rich or ultra-rich in minerals. Mineral wealth dramatically influences a colony's industrial productivity while Habitability influences population growth rates. * Artifact worlds contain relics of a now-vanished advanced civilization. * All planets can be upgraded to Gaia class with the appropriate technologies. - Planets can be upgraded in 3 ways. * Terraforming increases population capacity by a fixed amount for each tech level achieved. * Soil enrichment increases a planet's population capacity and growth rate but can not be used on hostile planets. * Atmospheric terraforming converts hostile planets to normal ones, making soil enrichment possible there. - The planetary management includes to allocate a colony's output between ship construction, planetary defenses, factory construction, ecology, and research. * Defenses spending is used to build additional missile bases, upgrade missile bases or planetary shields. * Planetary population generates production, especially when assisted by factories. There is a limit on the number of factories a unit of population can operate, but building upgrades can increase this. * Military and spy maintenance is deducted from every colony's production. * A planet's output can also be transferred to the treasury at a loss. - Technology is the most important contribution to a player's success. * Funding can be put into one or all of the game's six independent tech tree fields, including Computers, Construction, Force Fields, Planetary Science, Vehicle Propulsion, and Weapons. * If a ship uses a component from a particular technology area, further advances in that area reduce the cost and size of the component. - Players can design and use their own ships. * 4 hull sizes; smaller sizes are harder to hit while larger ships can survive more damage and hold more components. * 8 types of components, each with different effects. * Only 6 ship designs can be used at a time. * Ships can travel to any star system within their range and combat always occurs in orbit over a planet - it is impossible to intercept enemy ships in deep space. * The combat is fully automatic. Results depend on numbers, technology and racial combat bonus. - There are a wide range of diplomatic negotiations. * Gifts of money or technology; one-time technology trades; trade pacts that boost industrial output; non-aggression and alliance treaties. * Players can also threaten each other, declare war and arrange cease-fires. * Each AI player remembers others' actions, both positive and negative, and will be unwilling to form alliances with a player who has broken previous treaties with it.
