All players will play in the first two rounds. Players will face different opponents in the first and second round if possible. The format of the remaining rounds will be determined by the numebr of remaining players after the first two rounds.

Alliances and tech trading are permitted in game, but all games will be Last man standing. So keep that in mind when trading tech. It will be used against you at some point later in the game. Surrender is not permitted. If a player feels his position is untenable and wishes to withdraw he may do so. His place will be marked finished and the AI will control it to the end. Victor in any game will be the Last viable human empire remaining.
