Basics

The basics of the game are simple:

The player signs up for an account and may start to play immidietly. Newcomers are rewarded 1000 Mars Dollars to start playing. Newcomers sustain themselves by mining volcanoes and ruins to find Mars Dollars and upgrade themselves by purchasing upgrades at outposts.

All newcomers are assigned to a random coordinate on the game map by a homestead. Unless they purchase extra moves or Premium Memberships at the purchases page, they are limited to 250 moves in the vincity.

Mars Dollars are the game's currency of monetary value. The game basically revolves around Mars Dollars. When a certain amount of Mars Dollars is reached the player may exchange obtained Mars Dollars for at least $20 USD to PayPal or Personal Cheque.

Once the player has upgraded themself more features of the game become available. They may scout and attack other players, and they may defend themselves from being attacked and scouted on. Successful attacks result in a limited amount of Mars Dollars the victim has, and successful resistances from attacks results in lost Mars Dollars. The lost Mars Dollars goes to the victim.

Settlements are scattered around the world map. The more settlements the player governs or joins, the better mining bonuses the player gets. Players can govern, join, scout, and attack the settlements.

Players may join Alliances. Alliances give a mining bonus to the player, and they may chat amongst themselves on a private forum or by other means. For every settlement a member of the alliance governs, the better chance of finding motherlodes increases.
