Game Manual
This area is useful for browsing the world of Outpost Empires and searching for land targets or allies. Simply enter in the desired galaxy and sector number and hit Change.

This will show the sector name (which can only be changed by a Sector Leader), sector logo, and a table with every empire, their Planet Type, how much Land they have, and their Networth in that sector.

Sector Logo's are supposed to comply with the Game Rules. If you find a Sector Logo that is inappropriate contact a Game Moderator regarding the logo.


The table has the following information about empires:

Empire Name (Sector Coords): The empire's name along with their position X by Y position in the Sector. If their Sector Coords are closer to yours you will get quicker return times when attacking.
Planet Type: Planet types all have different advantages and disadvantages.
Land: Land is for buildings. A empire cannot grow without land.
Networth: A combination of the empires's land, money, military, population, and other values.
Tactical: Contains links to Scout, Attack, Missile, and Message the empire.

The table is colour coded to show the empires status. The following is a list of the color codes and what they mean.

Yellow: This empire is the sector leader. This empire gets an additional 10% bonus to attacks and defense.

Blue: The empire is in newbie mode. You will be unable to attack it.

Green: This empire is in Vacation Mode. You will be unable to attack it.

Red: This empire has been disabled or suspended by the admins. You will be unable to attack it.

Orange: This is your empire.

Grey: This empire has been destroyed.

@: This user is currently online. But can be offline. Look below


Underneath the table is a total networth value which is the combined networth of all the empires and what state the sector is in.

To increase server response and efficiency a World Cache was implemented. There was no need to compute every empire's networth every time someone views the Sector so the database now uses caching. Every thirty minutes when the cache updates so does everyone's networth and other values. So if the cache only updates every thirty minutes, then a empire's online indicator can be wrong. Check the Last update time at the bottom to find out when the cache was last updated.
