Mechanics, Gameplay and Levels

The mechanics are very simple. You control a circle that is used to select interactive objects. A is the interactive button while B loads up the city view so you can produce buildings and units and see stats. Pressing Start loads up a menu of Options including Help Options, Graphics and Sound Options and a city view showing who is winning and by how far.
 
The aim of the game is to win by any means. There are 4 ways of doing this; by capturing most of the capital cities, by having the most population, by having the most gold or by researching all the technologies. To do this you need to expand your city, fight enemies and capture other cities and think of strategies to produce the most science or gold.
 
The player will encounter a specific order of levels. The environment for the level will be randomly generated islands. Each player will have their own colour to show their territory. Here is a very basic image of this made in Sketchup and edited in Photoshop:
