SUPPLY LINE
You can configure a supply line by specifying either quantities or percentages.
For example, placing 5000 in the Iron box for Command Center1 will cause the supply line to
attempt to maintain 5000 Iron at that Command Center by transporting Iron to or from the other
endpoint as necessary.
Alternatively, placing 33% in the Oil box for one endpoint means to maintain a 1:2 ratio in Oil between
this endpoint and the other endpoint. This type of setting is generally used when creating a supply
line between two Command Centers.
TIME BANK
The Time Bank shows how much time you are allowed to continue playing on this planet. It is shown
as hours:minutes.
This bank decreases while you are online, and slowly increases when you are offline. The
formula for the rate of increase is complicated, but it is calculated so that if you play for
the specified number of hours per week, your bank will stay at a constant level.
The bank starts out at half of the allowed time per week, so if you're on a 5 hour/week planet,
the bank will start at 2:30.
POINT OF CONTROL
Build a Command Center here to claim this Point of Control.
The effect of claiming PoCs? varies by planet type. On a deathmatch planet, holding all PoCs? at the
same time results in victory.
