The galaxy is now even more dangerous place, thanks to the technological advancements made in the era of Discoveries. Will the civilizations now choose the path of destruction or the path of technological and cultural enlightenment? It’s up to you to choose if your civilization will focus on building a weapon of mass destruction or a galactic wonder of peace! In order to build a Superweapon or a Wonder you would need to first complete all of the upgrades on your Battle/Research station cards and acquire some types of Technologies as indicated in the right corner of the card. After you complete it, you gain its effect immediately! Pretty powerful stuff! —description from the publisher
