SETTING UP

A GAME

SELECT YOUR GENDER

You can choose to play a male or a female leader. Each civilization has one default leader

of each gender, and of course, you can customize your leader’s name.

SELECT YOUR TRIBE

Select the name of your tribe from the options available, or click on the CUSTOM button. The

Customize Your Tribe dialog box includes spaces for you to enter your LEADER’S NAME, your

TRIBE’S NAME, and the adjectival form of your tribe’s name (for messages and announcements).

The default options give examples of each entry.

Titles: Choose this option to specify the titles by which you prefer to be addressed for

each form of government in the game.

Portrait: This option offers several rows of portraits from which you can choose the

face you’d like to present to the world.

When you’re satisfied with your choices in each screen, click the OK button.

SELECT YOUR CITY STYLE

Here you can choose the style in which your citizens build. The default style is chosen to

reflect your tribe’s national origins as closely as possible.

Bronze Age Monolith: In the style of the Mayan and Sumerian empires, your city icons

build from simple stone boxes to complex clusters of megalithic proportions.

Classical Forum: Following the Greek and Roman styles, your city icons progress from

neat marble structures to gleaming colonnaded vistas.

Far East Pavilion: In the Oriental tradition, your city icons build from red-tiled gables

to elaborately layered pagodas.

Medieval Castle: Following European models, your city icons grow from narrow

thatched cottages to tightly packed labyrinths of humanity.
