- + The heads displayed at the top of the screen relate to each of the
- - races. When you select a head, the following information is displayed
- - in the middle window:

- + If you select your own race a slider will also appear in the middle window
- - You can use this slider to adjust the amount of money that the computer
- - automatically spends on autobuild, research and production. This stops the
- - computer spending all your money on these activities if you want to
- - keep some money in reserve.
- +
- + There are three kinds of expenditure that can be automatically managed
- - by the computer. These are, autobuild, research and production.
- - You have to ensure enough money is available for the computer to complete
- - its tasks. As long as you have plenty of money available the computer will
- - be able to meet all the requirements. When the computer can spend more
- - than your monthly income, you can determine which area of spending is more
- - important. Above the information window, there is a triangle, which can be
- - used to determine the percenatge of you money that is spent on each of the
- - three areas. Move the small triangle inside to adjust this setting, the
- - percentages are displayed by each corner of the triangle.

- + If you adjust the financing of one area to zero, the computer will
- - only stop spending money in that area only if there is a shortfall. If
- - the needs of the other areas are met with money to spare, the money
- - will be allocated to the other area even if it is set to zero.
