So you have reached the late game? Good work!

Polution is best removed quickly, before global warming starts. Move a worker to the tile and chose "clean pollution". Railroads are best built everywhere since they increase tile production by 50%. Building the spaceship is one of the ways to win the game. You build the spaceship part by part in your cities and when it is completed you can launch it. It will take some time to reach the star system of Alpha Centauri. When it does the game is won.

Keep up your good work Luka!

Luka, for your type government I believe you can find it in one of the screens that can be accessed through the F-keys.

Who are your competitors at the moment?

Good luka!

1st...What to do with polution??
- Polution is caused by the production of many shields (as seen in the city status screen. To avoid polution build mass transit and recycling center. If you are using a power plant for your factory of mfg plant be sure you have a hydro plant. If you have polution on one of your city tiles (black "clouds") than use a settles to remove it.

2nd..Where can i see i wich am i despotism/monarchy/republik...
- Advisors menu, intelligence advisor. He will give an overview of you and your enemies: amount of money, number of units, goverment type (democratic, monarchy etc.)

3rd...Are railroads good?
- They are very good, put them on every tile! They increase trade and thus will provide you with more money.

4th..SS spacestation?? u cant build 'city' in space or what?
- There are 6 differetn parts for the SS: Structural, you will need lots of these. Ccomponent, fuel and propulsion, of both you will build 10 I believe. Last there are modules, habitation, life support and solar panels, of these 3 you have to build 4 each. When you complete such a part it is automatically launched and you will see what your spaceship looks like. There is a box then which shows you what the chances are it will arrive at alpha centauri and how long it will take.

Hope these answers helped. Be sure to get the manual at the main site, most of these questions could be answered with this manual.

Btw, a notice concerning railroads. It doesn't cost you any move point, so you can go around the world in 1 single turn Actually I remembered once I played on Earth map, I had a new city in Siberia, which was defenseless, surrounded by 3 enemy units. So I took 2 armors from Paris, then I went to destroy them, and got back to Paris in one turn! so no military unit out, no unhappy citizen!

Another tip concerning SS: if you want the max point, then you must build 4 modules = 40000 people. But don't build completely all the structural. Since it would just be heavier and take you longer to travel. Just get 100% success and launch. You can launch at 90% but your score would be cut down by... 10%. Yeah.
