Description of a game and how it is working

The games on Simuland function with turns with a fixed duration (example: every 3 hours). That means that you have a turn duration (in our example: 3 hours) to take note of the results of your company of the preceding turn, and to think of the decisions to take for the following turn. At the end of this turn, simulation evolves/moves (it is almost instantaneous), and then a new turn begins.

In addition, there exist games of various levels. When you begin on Simuland you are level 1: you will be able to play only on games of level 1. Then while playing in these games, you will win points and you will become level 2 (see the assistance for an exact explanation on the passage of the levels). From there, you will have access to superior level games. However you will be able to continue to play in the games of lower level.
