General Map Info and Tips:

This is a heavily modified melee map based of Empire Earth. Military units take no food and are relatively cheap and fast to produce compared to standard melee maps (only workers and markets do). You start off at the stone age and work your way up to the Nano and Post-Apocolapytic Age, increasing your technology and economy while fending off rivaling civilizations. Choose allies wisely and remember that ultimately it is the last capital remaining that determines the winner.

There's two forms of resource, gold and lumber. Gold can be harvested from mines or earned by building market places. You can speed up gold collection from the mines with an upgrade at the blacksmith. Also, each marketplace will give a steady gold output of 10 gold every 10 seconds. You can research marketting upgrades to increase that 10 to 15,20,25 and so on.

Lumber is a bit trickier to speed up. You will need to age up and get better workers in order to collect lumber faster. For example, a medieval worker will gather lumber at approximately 3x the speed of a stone age worker.

Towers and walls may also prevent early rushes but become less effective as ages pass by. Stealthed fighters and transports can just as easily get through them and target your workers!

Single Player exists too if you wish to play as red, creeps will spawn and attack.

11/17/2009- Allying is now possible with the commands -ally color or -unally color. Also, leavers will now have all their units self destruct instead of staying. Also increased the upgrade costs of all ages as well as limited marketplaces with food to avoid massive speed teching that makes all lower tier units pointless to build.

11/15/2009- Massive Update! Now it fits 8 players instead of 4. Also, changed the name to avoid confusion with another map. Cleaned up some errors. I'm aware of some spelling errors but it is far too laggy on my computer to fix the text one by one. I'll get to it on an alt computer in a few days!

Other changes:
-Nuclear Bomber's move speed drastically slowed and build cost increased for balance
