Game Mechanics

Your primary major concern in Etherium, before crushing your enemies of course, will be to secure a growing supply of etherium, the main resource for your colonies in the game. You must therefore annex the territories where it is found to establish etherium outposts and extraction plants... which you will of course have to defend against enemy assaults by deploying turrets and units placed in strategic defensive positions.

You can use the etherium you obtain to develop your bases and outposts to expand and open up fresh opportunities such as new deployment locations closer to the front, additional army slots and the chance to upgrade to a higher technological level to access new and more powerful units!

You can, of course also spend your etherium on recruiting different types of armed forces: specialized infantry, an array of armored vehicles “combat walkers” or gigantic colossi of war, the cost of which in etherium and the advanced technology required to build them is matched only by their devastating firepower and destructive potential.

There are therefore two ways of defeating your enemy in combat: the “hard” way, i.e. the total annihilation of the enemy colony, or the more subtle way, where you build and protect orbital cannons that will attack the enemy fleet in a geostationary orbit above the theater of war. You alone must select the tactics you want to employ!
