Tutorial done. How do I start a regular single player game?

Submitted by rivak1 on Tue, 2006-11-14 09:43. Space Empires V FAQs

I bought the game via Steam so it's the latest 1.13 patch. Says so on the game credits.

I really hope this game supports single player.

In any case, I finished the tutorial. Unfortunately the tutorial doesn't instruct one on how to actually start a game, lol.

Can't it be something simple, like Civ 3? You pick other races, you pick your own. If it is like that, I have no idea how to do it.

It keeps wanting me to start multiplayer. How do I turn that off, please?

How do I turn the music off, please?

Oh yes, how do I start a game, lol?

Thanks much!!! Sorry for being so apparently stupid, but I see no manual. I tried looking in the Steam directory, but I can't find one. Thanks again!

***EDIT*** Okay. I see one has to input all the races one wants to be under AI control. One also has to assign many parameters to those races. One has to chose one race as being non AI controlled. Is there an easier way to do this? And is there any way to stop the music, lol? Thanks again.

Are you getting a little bored by the music ? Eye-wink

Go to the options menu (leftmost on the toolbar) and then select the music 0 % button.

No not bored, it's driving

No not bored, it's driving me crazy, lol. I actually tried options, but on the first screen. That has only very basic stuff. I never thought to look under options in the game itself... doh! Thanks.

I also see that I only have to create a human controlled race, then select many, moderate, or few for opponents. That makes it easier.

What...

Submitted by Rilbur on Tue, 2006-11-14 10:52.

I'm not sure what you mean by the gmae trying to make you play multiplayer. The engine *is* MP based, so those options are always there (hotseat/TCP IP etc etc), but by creating new game you default to single player. You'd have to actually connect to other players to make it MP.

Also, you don't need to manually add computer opponents, there is an option on the empire screen to randomly create them (and its checked by default).

There are 10 types of people in the world:

Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

I see that now. Thanks much! I was just overwhelmed at first and pushed too many buttons, lol.
