Bem-vindo ao manual da versão online do jogo SUPREMACY.

Inglês

Supremacy the game

Supremacia(Supremacy) é um jogo de tabuleiro, desenvolvido por Robert J. Simpson há muitos anos atrás. É um jogo de conquista global, onde você controla uma Superpotência no início de uma guerra. Este servidor hospeda uma versão modificada para a web e pelos caprichos de Paul(Desenvolvedor) e da comunidade.

Game Concepts

A supremacia é um jogo baseado em turnos, e cada turno é dividido em 7 fases. Você controla uma Superpotência e seu objetivo é eliminar todas as demais Superpotências. Para isso, você pode usar seus exércitos, marinhas, tanques, boomers (submarinos), L-Stars (Star Wars, Satellite de defesa) e K-Sats (Satélite para matar Satellites) para derrotar seus inimigos.

The phases (slightly different from the published game) are as follows...

 - Phase 0 - Preparação(Set up)
 - Phase 1 - Pay Salaries
 - Phase 2 - Phase Selection (now part of phase 1)
 - Phase 3 - Sell
 - Phase 4 - Move and attack
 - Phase 5 - Build
 - Phase 6 - Buy
 - Phase 7 - Acquire Companies

 * Conventional combat
 * Strategic attacks
 * Technologies
 * Winning
 * Losing
 * Fortuna
 * Scoring

Before the game begins, there is Set up. Each of the phases has it's own documentation page. Every player participates in phases 0, 1 and 2. Phase 2 is used to choose which of the next five phases to participate in, number dependent on one of the game parameters. Orders for phases 0, 1, 2 and 5 are all performed simultaneously, orders for the other phases are performed individually. Where orders are performed individually, a queue is formed and shown in the game status window. In this version of Supremacy it is possible to attack on turn 1.

For phases which are taken in turns, the current user is shown as "Waiting for orders", and everyone else participating in the phase is show as "In queue - n" where n is the position in the queue. Then the current user has his turn, he is then placed at the back of the queue, and all queue numbers are reduced by one, the user who was at the front of the queue can then place his orders. These phases continue until every player has passed.

This particular version of Supremacy has been set up with speed of game play in mind. This means that deadlines for placing orders as in place, and it is possible for players to "force" movement of the game once a reasonable amount of time has passed, details of this can be found on the this page.

The game operates on a standard map, although I have added three extra powers, Australia (Eastern Australia, Western Australia, Indonesia and New Zealand); Canada (Northern Canada, Greenland, Eastern Canada and Western Canada) and Arabia (Turkey, Middle East, Arabia, Iraq, Iran). This mean each game can commence with up to 9 players.

Etiquette

The online community is a small one, so please try and stick to a few simple guidelines when playing games...

 * Don't have more than one account - there are no limits to the games you can play, so there's no reason to
 * Keep all communications in-game - it's great when friends/partners/siblings can play together and great to have more people playing, but not great when it gives someone an unseen advantage
 * Don't take unnecessary holiday, especially when you're about to be knocked out!
 * Don't moan about being Force Passed - you've had your chance to play your turn
 * Report bugs when you find them to supremacy@playsupremacy.com  If it's not a real bug, I'll tell you, if it is, I'll get round to fixing it one day :-)
