Description

        Centurion-II is Centurion's second playtest game.  It is run
        weekly, to allow people to play via routed netmail and also to
        allow those to play who might not have time to keep up with a
        daily game.  It is still recommended that direct netmail is used
        where possible, to minimise annoyance to netmail hubs.

        The settings are slightly altered from the standard.  There are
        256 planets instead of 121, and there is a larger map to cope
        with this.  These increased settings allow more players to join
        the game.

        The travel range is restricted to 4 squares.  In normal games,
        travel range is effectively unrestricted, allowing lines of
        defence to be easily bypassed.  In Centurion-II the travel range
        is restricted, allowing you to create well-defended 'borders' to
        your empire, which an enemy must destroy or weaken before
        breaking through.

        Standard travelling speed, victory conditions, and processing,
        movement and order rules still apply.  This game may be used to
        test add-ons developed by the author.
