- THE DAWN OF GAIA
-
- Out of the interstellar dust a planet begins to form. It cools
-
- and a solid crust forms on the surface. Your first task will
-
- be to promote the formation and survival of life. If you can
-
- survive the shift to an oxygenated atmosphere and evolve
-
- multicellular life you will reach the Evolution time scale.
-
- LIFE HAS FORMED
-
- In the primordial soup the replicator is born. A molecule
-
- with the unique property of self-replication, the replicator
-
- begins making copies of itself. The thread of life begins.

- EVOLUTION TIME SCALE
-
- The Invasion of Land - The Cambrian Era on earth saw a vast
-
- diversification of lifeforms, the beginning of the plant and
-
- animal kingdoms, and the first steps of life on land. Now you
-
- must survive periodic extinctions and promote intelligence
-
- to reach the Civilization time scale.
-
- CIVILIZATION TIME SCALE
-
- The evolution of intelligent life has brought you to the
-
- Civilization time scale. GAIA begins to achieve consciousness.
-
- Now you must spread your civilization across the planet
-
- and advance technology. The dawn of the industrial revolution
-
- will bring you into the Technology time scale.
-
- TECHNOLOGY TIME SCALE
-
- The industrial revolution has occurred! Civilization grows
-
- rapidly now as breakthroughs are made in energy production,
-
- medicine and agriculture. But beware, civilization is also
-
- beginning to have a significant impact on the planet.
-
-
-
- THE EXODUS
-
- With the advent of nano-technology, all levels of society
-
- gain access to scientific benefits. The stars are now only
-
- a short step away. Whole cities are fitted with engines to
-
- launch them skyward, and the Exodus begins. The home world
-
- becomes a nature preserve, allowing evolution to continue.
-
- THE END
-
- As the sun exhasts its nuclear fuel it begins to expand.
-
- About 10 billion years after the planet was formed it grows
-
- into a red-giant and engulfs the inner planets. It ruins your
-
- whole day.
