Missions

Players need to perform some types of Actions, like founding colonies, giving food, sabotaging or other actions.

When the players has performed enough actions they may claim one or more Items as reward.

Missions may be in a series of missions where you will have to do the first one in order to open up the second one etc.

There can also be a deadline on the missions. Note that also the reward must be claimed before the deadline of a mission. If a player fail to complete the missions within time, the mission just disappear an nothing happens.

There are some planned types of missions, I will start with introducing weekly missions.

Weekly missions

Every week a new mission will be started and the players will have 6 days to achieve the tasks. From end of may 2019 they start on Tuesdays and end on Mondays. (used to be Sunday to Saturday initially)

Technical info: The tasks and the reward will be randomly combined from a list of defined tasks and so will the reward.

Weekly missions become available for players at Level 7 or higher.

Introduction missions

To get started. Describes what you need to do to get started.

Progress missions

Future plans Just do many actions. Like found 50 colonies.

Event missions

NOTE: The contents here may change until the event begins.

Events are open to players of all levels.

Events have a series of missions, normally with a better prize at the end. Note that you must finish one before the next one is available and start counting.
