You compete against other such players in the hopes of establishing control of the New World during the sixteenth century. Note, this is not a game that simulates the actual discovery and colonization of the Americas; a New World is generated at the beginning of each game and each New World (and game) is, therefore, unique. Your job is to explore the New World, establish thriving colonies, produce and trade goods, and eliminate your opponents or defend your claims from your opponents. [. . . ] When heading toward unexplored terrain, units will generally use a straight path approach. For units with Explore buttons, clicking on the Persistent box in the unit's window to place a check mark there will cause the unit to explore automatically at the beginning of each game turn. For all units, clicking on the Persistent box will allow such units to move towards a chosen destination (that is too far to reach in one turn) over the course of several game turns. If you change your mind and decide to control the unit personally, simply double-click on the unit and click on the Persistent box again to remove the check mark. Finding a Unit on the Game Screen cannot board Ships that are not next to the shore, and units cannot attach themselves to Leaders or Ships that are already at maximum capacity. Leaders can only contain military units and Settlers. On all unit lists (reached by double-clicking on Leaders and selecting Units Attached, double-clicking on Ships and selecting Cargo, by selecting the Unit List button from the Main Menu window, or by selecting the Colony Contents button) attached units appear indented and underneath the unit to which they are attached. Units that are attached do not move on their own. If they are in a colony, on a Ship, or with a Leader, they will not appear when you click on the Next button to find the next unit with an available movement allotment. If they are attached to a Leader or Ship, they move with that unit. (They will disembark a Ship if they are attached to a Leader who disembarks. ) Until you detach them from where they are, they will not move independently. Units can be detached from Leaders, Colonies, or Ships in several ways: Leaders: Detach units by double-clicking on the Leader and then clicking on the Units Attached button. Select the unit you wish to detach and click on the Detach button. Holding down the SHIFT key while selecting units to detach and then clicking on the Detach button or dragging the units to the Game screen will detach all selected units. To detach all the units traveling with the Leader, double-click on the Leader and then click on the Detach All button. You may also detach units from Leaders by using the Unit List screen. Click on the Menu button at the top of the screen and select Unit List. Find the units you wish to detach from the Leader. You can selectively search for military units or other units by clicking on the box next to the unit types you are interested in seeing (placing a check mark in that box). Or, deselect the units you are not interested in by clicking on the box to remove the check mark. Click on the unit(s) you wish to detach from the Leader (holding down the SHIFT key if you wish to detach more than one) and then either click on the Detach button or drag the selected units onto the map. Ships: Detaching units from Ships is called "disembarking" and works in the same way as detaching units from Leaders except that Ships must be next to the 35 To find a particular unit, click on the Menu button and then click on the Unit List button. Select the unit you wish to find and then click on the Find button to center the Game screen on that unit. Attaching, Detaching, and Reorganizing Units may be unattached or attached to Leaders, colonies, or Ships. Units that are attached to something do not move independently; they must first be unattached.
