My suggestion is to use that money to quick build things. Players typically start out with 5000 bc. You can also build starbase factories which enhance your production rate but you are charged for that additional production. You can get bonus production through your abilities which you are not charged for. Each of those 8 points costs 1bc to produce. That is, if your spend-rate is 100% and all of that spending is put toward either military or social production (or a combination). A basic factory can product 8 manufacturing points if it's fully funded. I typically start by building a couple of factories. You can increase your approval rate by building entertainment centers. Approval is affected by population (more people, the more demanding they are) and your tax rate. At the start of the game, you're a dictator, so what do you care what the masses think? Other forms of government are available that give you more money, and then you can worry about it. It is not as important as you might think. ![]() Your Approval is what % of the population thinks you're doing a good job.You can increase your influence by building things like embassies which you get from Universal Translator. And conversely, when it meets someone else's sphere of influence, they push against each other. Your influence (ip) determines how far from the planet your sphere of influence will go.Only build farms when you need to increase your population cap. TIP: Don't just build farms for the sake of building farms. Population increases based on your population growth ability and your planetary approval. If your food production is 10 mt/wk then 10 billion people is where your population will cap off at. Your population will not go higher than the food production.It says it produces 24 manufacturing points. The other one is my civilization capital. The first thing I click on is a star port. Now I click on some of the tiles that have something on them. Then I try double-clicking on a basic factory and I see that it adds it to the queue (ooh, faster, good!). I then click on Basic lab and do the same thing. So I click on Basic Factory and then press the Build button and it adds it to the build queue. But I don’t need a farm right now, Earth is doing fine with 15 mt/wk and I only have 5 billion population so I can go to 15 billion based on what I have. The farm will increase my foot by 5 mt/wk which means my population will be able to grow. ![]() The entertainment network will improve my approval (which is at 90% already so no need for that right now). Factories give me more shields and hammers. Factories, farms, a lab, an entertainment network, and a market center. Now I see 5 different things I could build here. That implies the green tiles are ready to go. So yellow must mean that the tile is useful but only in the future. I click on the yellow tile and it says I need soil enhancement to use it. Okay, I’m looking at this map of Earth with a big grid on it.: Gosh, there’s only 5 billion people on Earth in this universe. If you hold down the left mouse button on the main map and drag your mouse around, you can move the screen around. It says it’ll take 7 weeks (turns) to research that. Since I’ve kind of decided to be diplomatic, I’ll choose Universal Translator. The first screen I get is one asking me to pick a technology to research. I think I’ll also play on a small galaxy so not to get overwhelmed right away. ![]() My first few games I don’t want to just get crushed. This is good because it’ll help keep me out of war a little easier. With the humans, they’re good at diplomacy naturally. That way they won't really do much other than drool and make snarky remarks. ![]() Now for picking your opponents, pick just a few and put their intelligence very low for your first games. This way, it's easier to get money, your people are happier, and you get stuff faster. Now, for the abilities, I'd recommend putting your points into economics, morale, and research. Use all the defaults whatever they are because they've been set up for new players.įor your first game, play as the humans, since, hopefully you're somewhat familiar with that species. I'd recommend going with a small galaxy at first. I don't have a knife, so I'm using my fingernail here to get the thing off. Now, if I can just get the top off, why do they make these things so that it’s nearly impossible to get the top cover of the box off without wrecking the box itself? You know, the little plastic thingy at the top. This guide is designed to give brand new players a quick introduction into how they can get going in the game without being crushed.Īlright, I’ve got the box home.
