The game is mainly for beginners/intermediate. experts+ are welcome to play as mentors or the Mercenaries. (depends on wether people wnats this game to be a mentor game or not)

2 preditor tribes (beginner)
2 mercenaries (left overexperts)
2 commanders (1 for clan, 1 for tribe)(2 experts [or 2 INTERMEDIATES if we dont have atleast 3 experts])
host is playing as an observer race (News network) owning a planet called EARTH (with the help of an editing program).
Objective of the game:
After year 2440, the first team that's able to keep a fleet in orbit over earth for 20 years wins (20 years will start counting when there is one team over the orbit. and will reset if all the fleet of one team that is orbiting EARTH is destroyed.
