ConnWars is about conquering the galaxy. 

You and 499 of your people decide to settle on an unoccupied planet. Unfortunately, so does the evil Orange Population, and they want to eat you alive. 

Make connections between planets to transfer people from one to another. Occupy, populate, and attack other planets to win. 

But beware. If your planet becomes overpopulated, it will enter civil war (chaos mode). People will start dying out until all there is left is half of the population.

Instructions:

To begin the game, select any planet to occupy. You will start with a population of 500 on that planet. Every populated planet has natural growth, so population gradually increases. In order to link to other planets, click a blue planet, then another planet (of any color). If you connect a blue planet to another blue planet (or a grey planet). Your units will be transferred from one to the other. They transfer more slowly if the connection is longer. If a blue planet is connected to a red planet, units of both sides will deplete until one is completely exterminated. The goal is to completely wipe out red units. The population of red planets cannot be seen, and the only red planet connections that can be seen are ones that connect red and blue planets.
