I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

Start with ogame. Looks pretty cool. Been playing for a half hour and want to start over because I figured out a much better starting build queue.
I do love resets!I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Good Choice
Did you join Universe 19 by any chance? Because if so you can probably get some resource help to get you past the initial building stages (that can be kinda boring) and get you on your feetand fully adicted

Yes, if you start uni 19, I can send you a care package. Just pm me in game....same name.
I've got a stupid amount of resources.We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.Comment

I started on U18 to get my feet wet. Is it possible to join more than one universe?
Is there no market in this game, besides the forum? It would seem that a simple market could be constructed, what with it being only a 4 resource game.Last edited by DanS; February 17, 2007, 13:12.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

SC, I just started U19 a week ago...any ideas for a basic strategy? Like, I have level 11 Crystal, level 8 deut and level 12 metal. Should I jsut carry on building them up and then go for research? Wikipedia is right, this game has a very steep learning curveYou just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.Comment

Yes it is possible to join more than one universe (actually if yo uthink you have the time I think you could join all ?27? ?28? of them).Originally posted by DanS

Having a "Market" or some kind of organized trade mechanism has been on the forums as a "most wanted" by the players for some time now, but it seems as thought it is not on the programmers most wanted list
And as for a "4 resource game" I have been playing ogame for about a year and a half, and have yet to see more then 3 resources (Metal, Crystal and Deuterium).

I would carry on as you are, with the importance on Metal and Crystal early, Deut can come later. As for research, at your stage you should be able to research while you are upgrading your mines, you want to get the necessary techs to get colony ships as soon as possible so that you can get your 9 planets (1 main + 8 colonies) as soon as possible. That is the fastest way to grow.

Energy is the fourth, although in ogame it wouldn't be a tradeable resource.Originally posted by Sparrowhawk

Due to the compounding nature of buildings, buying commander to have a build queue must give a huge advantage. An outsized advantage, IMO.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Yes, but only for the 1st month or so.Originally posted by DanS

Consider this though, I'm ranked number 2 in uni 19 out of 3000 players, and I never bought commander.
More critical to a good start is to get esp probes, small cargos, and light fighters ASAP so you can start raiding inactives near you.We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.Comment

Hmmm... Solar power satellites are pretty worthless in the early, early game. I went for them, but they only give you 23 energy a pop.
They must be necessary for colonization.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

The amount of enenrgy generated depends on planet slot location. Sounds like your homeworld is in slot 10. They get real useful when you get to solar plant 20 or so due to the ever increasing costs of buildings. Also to note that you need defenses to protect them since they are an easy crash.
You'll want all your colonies in slots 4-6 and don't keep them unless they are 200+ fields.
I recomend 1 colony in each galaxy 1-7 (this includes your homeworld) and keep 2 slots open for mobiles (a base you can move around as needed).
