you play on teams. As in Capitols, if your first City Center is 
captured and out of your control for that configurable period, 
you are out of the game. If, however, your teammate re-captures
your City Center, control of the Capitol reverts to you, and you
are back in action.
Regicide
– 
Your duty in Regicide is to protect your king at all 
costs. If your king is killed, you are out of the game. Team play 
is available in Regicide.
Hot Spots
– 
In Hot Spots, the game host selects a number of 
locations on the map considered to be vital. When the game 
begins, the first hot spot is visible, and all players vie to capture 
it by building a Fortress upon it. Once a spot is captured, the 
next one is revealed. The person with the most hot spots at the 
end of the game wins. Hot spots can be played in teams.
Sole Survivor mode is an option available for three of the game types:
Conquest, Regicide and Capitols. In this mode, there can be only one
winner - teams may be established during game setup and alliances 
may be entered into during the game, but when there is only one team
remaining all alliances are automatically broken. When a game is 
created with locked teams, then all players on the same team contribute to
satisfying the victory condition. Once this victory condition is met, then
all players on the team are declared winners and the game ends. So if 9
territories must be controlled for victory, and 3 players on a team together
control 9 territories then they win. If a game is created with unlocked
teams, then alliances may still be entered into during the course of the
game, but only one player may satisfy the victory conditions and win.
When you join a multiplayer game, you’ll get to choose which civilization
you’d like to lead. To help you decide, more information on each of the
civilizations is presented later in this manual.
SETTING UP A GAME (Multi-player or Skirmish)

citizens that all players will start with.

battles in history: the invasion of Normandy during World War II and
the Battle of the Three Kingdoms in China, circa 230 – 480 AD.
From the Single Player Screen you can also play Skirmish games
against the computer, Saved Games, and custom-made Scenarios.
Multiplayer – 
You can play multi-player games over the Internet
through Gamespy.com or through a LAN connection. In multiplayer
games, you can play with or against up to nine other players. You can join
a game created by someone else or host your own game. If you do choose
to host your own game, you will have a wide range of choices to make,
including the game type, gameplay settings, map type, and environment
options. The types of games are:
Conquest
– 
In a conquest game, you seek to completely 
destroy your enemies. To eliminate a player by conquest you 
must destroy all his military units and all buildings capable of 
producing units. Teams can play conquest.
Crowns – Number. To win a Crowns game, you must win a 
certain number of crowns, specified by the host of the game.
Crowns – Time of Possession. The host specifies the amount of
time in minutes that a player must have spent in possession of 
any combination of crowns in order to be declared the winner.
Territory Control
– 
You must control a percentage of 
territories to win a territories game. The host decides how 
many territories are needed to win.
King of the Hill
– 
At the beginning of a King of the Hill
game, a neutral territory occupies the center of the map. The 
first player to capture and hold the King of the Hill structure in 
the neutral territory for a specified amount of time wins.
Capitols
– 
In a Capitols game, your first City Center is 
your Capitol and cannot be destroyed, it can only be captured. 
If your City Center is captured, you have a host configurable 
amount of time to reclaim it, or you are out of the game. 
You can continue to follow the action as an observer, but you 
cannot talk to other players still in the game.
Allied Capitols
– 
Allied Capitols is just like Capitols, except
