"It is as precise and detailed as you want, though the illusion doesn't get any bigger than about two and a half feet. So you can't participate Kamariel. And the orders can be as detailed as you want, though you might get a bunch of illusionary people looking up at you in confusion. After today, we will meet again to either start your world over, or continue with what you have already, and speed up how fast the game goes. Otherwise, we would be playing this for a year before someone won.<br/><br/>You have three win conditions. The first is completely conquering or controlling the world with diplomacy, and the illusions will let you know when you pass that condition. The second is an exploration win, which will be much harder. And the third is to research the higher level researches, which will allow for planar warfare, which allows you to wipe out everyone else or force them to surrender to you. You will be able to send small groups over well before that, but that might be... unwise for various reasons. And the game doesn't actually end until the third one is complete. You will get bonuses for the other 'wins,' but it won't tell the other people that you have done so. Bonuses like faster movement for the exploration win, or slightly faster incomes and build rates."<br/><br/>He then formed a quick world, and looked up. "If you wanted, I can start the game now, or in an hour, during which I will be giving those interested a brief tutorial on how to control and manipulate the game."<br/><br/>He first pointed out that this world was less than a hundredth the size of the game worlds, just small enough for the hour game. He then voiced aloud the orders he was giving, and quickly showed the limitations of the orders, and what the units could do. He set up movement orders for troops, and began making a small civilization, wiping out two nearby 'barbarian cities,' earning a world conquest victory, which caused a small message to pop up, indicating the conquest, as well as a 5% increase to income and a decrease to build times. He then went on to earn an exploration victory, tier 1, which gave a 1% bonus to movement rates. He finally finished by getting one of the higher level magic researches, admitting that he had simplified it significantly as well as removing two more research trees, divine and technology, in order to make the tutorial one hour long. His human troops bravely stormed through the permanent portal, and began wading into the Blood War, before he killed the tutorial. "Alright, that should help somewhat. The game worlds are in your rooms, so have fun.<br/><br/>Cerul, when you are ready, come see me please. We need to talk."<br/><br/>He was already moving his troops around, as well as setting up two cities, which would bankrupt him quickly if it wasn't for the gold mine near the capital. Both cities were perfectly placed for his intentions, and began expanding as fast as his treasury could support it, figuring he would have five cities before the end of the day, and four smaller towns further out than that. Tomorrow would be when the random hostile forces started moving around, and the random events would start.<br/><br/>When Cerulean came back out, he informed her that he had gone to someone he trusted and an expert in the kind of things wrong with her mother, and had gotten her help. He explained that he had a magic scroll that would force her to remember everything that had happened, though Cerulean would be experiencing it with her. Though it wouldn't be nearly as intense if they got her mother's comb from Maura first, and Maura being there might help even more.
