Beta has a few purposes. First and foremost, its a testing ground for new programming changes. Second is testing bug fixes. Lastly, it gives those who have given up on the regular round a place to hone their skills so that they might become a better player and do better next round. Here is how you can get started in learning this wonderful game.

The following are a few of the changes made for the current Beta round(~~Straith's Changes~~)

- Workers shall cost more than 25 food after age 1. (Don't complain about age 3 cost - it was MUCH higher while I was beta testing it).
- Age 3 allows advanced research of new buildings which allow more workers.
- A new food storage building can be built which holds 100 times the amount of food.
- Explore disabled if land usage is too low
- age 2/3 give bonuses to what your explorers bring back (more mines, etc).
- land has empire value
- resources have empire value
- on line status shows up in alliance lists and on game rankings (also live on main)
- Mail says "FULL" when mail is full.
- Trade tab replaced with Market tab
- Skill Ranks implemented for resources and exploring.
- Skill Rank implemented for Mercantile
- Each of the items in the research tab is click-able. A help pop-up should reveal what the research will allow (it lists it even if there is more than one required for the next research, and even if the next age is required... confusing?)
