Introduction

The year is 2317. Earth's 4th world war has caused even more nuclear devastation than the 3rd. Most of the planet's few remaining inhabitants are forced to flee and search for a planet that is capable of sustaining human life. After years of searching the universe, a small group of settlers happens upon a large planet that seems to have breathable air and enough resources to support human civilization. Because of the planet's seemingly limitless size, they name their new planet Boundless.

Shortly after the settlers arrive and begin to survey the planet, they realize that finding this place was something of a mixed blessing. They are not alone. Many other groups, some from Earth, and some from other worlds, have already begun colonizing the planet. Competition for the planet's limited resources is fierce, and often leads to violent conflict. The pressure of the new situation proves to be too much for the fledgling society, and their civilization quickly disintegrates into scattered factions. Some manage to form alliances with other groups and with the planets previous inhabitants, and those groups are much more likely to survive

Build your cities to withstand attack, build your armies to neutralize any threat, and build your empire to inspire fear.

Welcome to BoundlessPlanet, one of the world's first fully 3D Persistent Massively Multiplayer Online Real Time Strategy Games (MMORTS) which pits you against hundreds of other players simultaneously in a planet-wide struggle to claim natural resources and expand an empire using the limitless power of an army, navy, and air force of your own creation.

Mine the planet's natural resources to build fortified cities and unstoppable armies. Research new weapons, machines and technologies to enhance your military might on land, sea, and in the air. Form alliances with other players, share resources, and plan coordinated attacks using the internal chat messager. Use cunning, wit, deception and raw power to ultimately conquer the planet.

Game Details

Game play in BoundlessPlanet revolves around natural resources. The size of your army, the redundancy of your defense, and the technological advancement of your empire is entirely dependent on how much Iron and Oil you are able to mine, store, and distribute.

In order to ease local use and distribution of these resources, any activity within a certain distance of a Command Center can automatically access the Command Center's ample storage of 10,000 units of Iron and/or Fuel (once Oil is mined using an Oil Refinery, the resulting liquid is Fuel).

This wide area of control is called the Command Center Control Area, and is represented by a wide green circle only visible when the Command Center is selected.

Within this area, the myriad necessary transfers of resources to and from Iron Mines, Oil Refineries, vehicles, resource storage, Power Plants, construction projects, etc., are all handled automatically. This functionality makes Command Centers critical to a functioning, independent base. The majority of the information on this page revolves around this simple concept, so we encourage you to start playing, and refer back to the following details if necessary.

--------------------

You will start with two Builders, two Scouts, and a Command Center storing a limited amount of Iron and Fuel.

Builders, Command Centers, and Power Plants are the vertebrae of any base on BoundlessPlanet, so we will address them here and in the 'Vehicles' and 'Buildings and Structures' sections of the Help text.

Your Builder is one of your most important vehicles, as it is the only vehicle in the game capable of constructing buildings. When a Builder is selected, its construction options appear at the bottom of your screen.

Each construction option in the Builder's menu has a cost in either Iron, Fuel, Power Usage, or all three. Structures built within a Command Center Control Area are automatically supplied the necessary construction resources, and the Power required by most structures can only be supplied by a Power Plant.

In order to acquire more resources, Iron and Oil Refineries must be built on top of Iron Deposits and Oil Deposits. One of each deposit will be close to your first Command Center, and many more are located around the Planet.

Construction projects outside a Command Center Control Area require resources to be manually delivered using a Transport vehicle. This means that once you need more Iron and Fuel than your initial resource deposits can provide, you need to scout your territory for more resource deposits. Once you find one that doesn't already have a mine or refinery on top of it, you must then transfer 500 units of Iron from your Command Center into a Transport vehicle, and send the Transport and a Builder over to the faraway deposit.

This is because building an Iron Mine or an Oil Refinery takes 500 units of Iron, and once you're trying to build something outside of your Command Center Control Area, you need to supply Iron to the construction project manually. This is one of the more difficult concepts in BoundlessPlanet, so if it seems confusing, try it, and if you're having trouble, ask another player within the game for help.

Summary

Created by Alexander Adell(website & Graphics) and Justin Sadowski (Programmer). Alexander moved on soon after release and the community and game has been sustained by Justin since then.

Its a land/sea/air based warfare led game with resource collection and unit creation and of course, WAR. The game is run by one solo developer and is going open source, at present only the client has been released. The Community has set up a website at bpgamers.com to help develop this game further - the potential is great and warfare when busy is intense.

There is a free weeks demo - the community is pushing for either a free server or a 4week demo to allow new players to fully experience the long term strategy elements. Planets last around a month before filling up and new planets are then released. Old ones remain open and active - just no new joins. Invasion is being explored for world v world conflict in the future.

Death match can fill the time while silos refill with iron and oil, the two present resources. Many more are planned. Deathmatch maps are player made - .tga files with colour being interpreted by the server into heights and resources etc. Games are smaller, faster and have no new start shield.

Present features:

16 unit types to build –in the thousands
9 Building types
Varied land/sea relationships
Group selection
Unit or group Ai defense settings
5 Huge Main Planet types
21 slot unit build queues
New player shield for 24 hours on First base
