My spot in the world
Published on February 1, 2009 By LifeSomewhereElse In Strategy

Hi All,

   I am new to this game, just bought it last week.  I know I am late to the party but hopefully that will help me.  I am trying to learn how best to play this game.  I am still playing my first game and I am somewhat lost as to how best to proceed.  Enemy pirates come and harrass me but all they do is beat down my navy and i have to rebuild it. 

   I am looking for a good written tutorial or article that explains the game dynamics to help me get a good feel of how the game is supposed to work.   I tried the "watch" files of recorded games but they do not seem to work with the latest patched version of the game.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

I'm just saying this as an early game tip to never build colonizing ships because they are expensive. You do build them later on to capture the neutral extractors. Unless you are Vasari who has a giant advantage over other races by having their scout capture the extracters. (I knew I would get beaten by somebody about the colonizing ship comment)

Anyway the Jarrasul is a good ship. With its amazing powers like nano dissasembler which can destroy almost anything, the colonize ability, and the drain planet. Can a normal colonizing ship do that? No. I didn't think so.
