[edit] Gameplay

The game involves a large universe set in a three dimensional grid with each planet given co-ordinates xxxxx:yyyyy:zzzzz, and a large part of the game involves finding or 'probing' for other planets to colonize and attack. Each system of planets has a place where ships can travel through to a 'battlezone' at co-ordinates 0:0:0. Players join together to form clans. The game is a real time strategy game, where resources are updated every half hour. Fatelords uses many different ships including 'pathfinders' which travel instantly through space, and slower fighters and carriers, which take hours or even days to reach their destination. The creator of the game also made a different game called SkyLords, which is similar, although it has more options for types of ship creation, it is not as popular as the original fatelords.
