| Anacreon [[anacreon:game:games|games]] are persistent and server-based. Each game is a unique universe with distinct [[anacreon:game:planets|planets]] and player [[anacreon:game:empires]]. Every game has a [[anacreon:game:scenarios|scenario]] and an [[anacreon:eras|era]]. The most active game is currently [[anacreon:game:games:FallenWorldsEra3|Fallen Worlds Era 3]]. | Anacreon [[anacreon:game:games|games]] are persistent and server-based.

| ===== Era ===== | ===== Era ===== |
| Anacreon development takes place in [[anacreon:game:eras]] (previously these were called Alphas and Betas). Every game runs a version of Anacreon from a specific Era. The most recent era is [[anacreon:eras:Era3|Era 3]]. | Anacreon development takes place in [[anacreon:eras]] (previously these were called Alphas and Betas).

| ===== Empire ===== | ===== Empire ===== |
| An [[anacreon:game:empires|empire]] is any entity that controls [[anacreon:game:planets]] within a game. Empires can be controlled by players or be "NPEs", like the [[anacreon:game:empire#mesophon_traders_union|Mesophon Traders Union]]. An individual player can only control one empire per game.

| A planet's human population generates labor (measured in [[anacreon:lexicon#WU|Work Units]]). Labor generated on a planet is assigned to structures on that planet. The total number of Work Units available on a planet decreases if labor is divided between multiple structures. Planets are most productive when most or all of their labor is assigned to a single structure. The labor output of a planet is a function of [[anacreon:game:planets#planetary_population|population]], [[anacreon:game:tech_level|tech level]], and efficiency. | A planet's human population generates labor (measured in [[anacreon:lexicon#WU|Work Units]]).

| ===== Tech Level ===== | ===== Tech Level ===== |
| All [[anacreon:game:planets]], [[anacreon:game:units]] and [[anacreon:game:resources]] have a [[anacreon:game:TL|Tech Level]]. Tech level determines what a planet can be [[anacreon:game:designation|designated]] as and what resources and units it can produce. Planetary TL also affects [[anacreon:game#labor]] output, [[anacreon:game:resources#consumer_goods|consumer goods]] consumption, and whether certain [[anacreon:game:structures]] can be built. Player empires can change planets' tech level. | All [[anacreon:game:planets]], [[anacreon:game:units]] and [[anacreon:game:resources]] have a [[anacreon:game:tech_level|tech level]].

| [[anacreon:game:Units]] are [[[[anacreon:game:Units#ships]], [[anacreon:game:units#ground_units|ground units]], and [[anacreon:game:units#planetary_defenses|planetary defenses]]. Units are produced by structures and subject to [[anacreon:game:attrition|attrition]]. Units are used for exploration, [[anacreon:game:transport|moving]] resources and ground units, and most importantly for [[anacreon:game:combat]]. Some units have special abilities, like [[anacreon:lexicon#point_defense|point defense]]. | [[anacreon:game:Units]] are [[[[anacreon:game:Units#ships]], [[anacreon:game:units#ground_units|ground units]], and [[anacreon:game:units#planetary_defenses|planetary defenses]].
