The goal of battlescapes is to simply conquer a whole universe beginning with just one lone base. It deals with resources and element levels to obtain better assetts, but you cannot directly gain element levels, save the first 4 which begin on lv1.
Each of the elements has 35 levels to it, and you can make, cast, and hire anything that relates to those elements as you achieve them, naturally based.
Config:
Empire Name: Empire Goals: Name the 2 ultimate goals of this empire. No values, just general goals, for example, 'conquer the universe' or 'achieve transcendance'. If you achieve one of them, this game ends with you as the winner. Inintual Resources: Any normal kinds of resources you wish. You generate 1500 units in total. Dont forget 'data' as that lets you advance your element levels eventually.
