For those who dont know what it is , let me explain.
Firstly registering for Galactic War , A player is asked to pick a race to become. He must choose wisely as his GWar rank sticks to this race and he can only play as that race , and if he swaps race he looses his ranks and starts over.
In a mulitplayer browser you have a starmap thats is proportionally split up amongst the 3 races.
At the borders between the 3 races , stars become contested. People can host a galactic war game by selecting a contested star. If the star is contested between the Advent and Vasari , then only an Advent vs Vasari match can ensue. When there is a star that is contested by 3 races , then a 3way FFA can occur if someone hosts on it. The Aim of Galactic war , is to make your race dominate and the more wins you get the higher your rank. It doesnt use ELO !. The higher your rank the higher % of the contestment you gain when you win.
Forexample if there is a contested star between Advent and TEC , it will be 50%-50% , if you win as TEC , it will be 60%-40%. Once a star reaches 90%-10% , the star falls to the winning race , and then all enemy stars leading from that lane become 50%-50% and become contested.
Stars range from small to large , and are set for each one. the great thing about galactic war is that because the borders are always changing ..the types of stars you can play on one day will be different from the stars you will play the next. Forexample in the picture the only possible stars are Zedix , Solaris and Epona. Once one is dominated then new stars will be contested that will have a different size and planet configuration. yes stars keep the same planet configuration.
