hey sammy!

[007]

Could you explain astrowars to me? I registered and have a planet . . . beta something or other . . . . but I am not totally sure what i am supposed to be doing.

Ditto ... of course I am working and doing like 4 other things too .... i did figure out how to change my science to social ....

[sammystingray]

The first three days are VERY slow. After that it picks up. My advice is to do nothing but buy robotic factories and hydroponic farms until you get a level of seven on both atleast. Social allows your population to grow, and hydroponic farms increases the rate. Every population level gives you another production point per hour, and every robotic factory does the same. Where are you guys at? planet name and location?

[Wrassecal]

Sammy just wondering what your growing on your hypdroponic farm...

[007]

Beta Antecanis 1 . . . . what does this mean?

I am MrX . . . .

[overanalyzer]

I am Overanalyzer (yeah I know how original) and my planet is:

Beta Al Athfar 7

[007]

I think that I am starting to get the hang of it, and I also see how it picks up pretty quickly . . .

I still don't know exactly what the point is.

Judging by the titles it is a Civ game for space - build an empire - through force or alliances .....

[007]

how do you form alliances?

[overanalyzer]

Not sure - where is Sammy?? There is a guy who has not done anything to his planets right near me (according to the list). Starting to salivate over the idea of territorial expansion (napoleanic complex in games like this!!!)

[sammystingray]

overanalyzer, the other day my brother was over here, and asked what I was playing. He joined when he got home, and he is in your system. I told him I know you, and I believe he will PM you on the game. His username is "monster". Perhaps you two can help each other out

[007]

I have not really figured out how to form alliances and take over planets and what not, but I am amassing quite a planet!

Yeah we've been talking there is no one else in our area who is doing anything so I think he and I will own the system. I have already launched a ship to the next galaxy over! Veryt cool game!!

[iceburger]

I joined also...but i don't remember the name of my system...oh but don't worry, you'll be seeing me soon...when i take over your planets of course :evil: :evil: :evil:

just a thought...megalomaniac is the word for someone who wants to take over earth...what do you call someone that wants to take over the entire universe?

[sammystingray]

iceburger, you're better off to let all of us know who you are so we can help each other......in my opinion anyway. My name is griddog at 53/50. I consider this round practice because I started 15 days late, by joining you will be emailed when the next round starts, and we can all start on the first day so nobody gets a head start.

[Thomas712]

Can any of you see the following systems:

Alpha Alphacca
Alpha Atik
Alpha Nath
Alpha Phecda
Alpha Sheddi
Beta Wega

[sammystingray]

The numbers help a LOT more than a name......so I know what direction and how far away you are......I am based at 53/50. The first players started at 0/0......I'm glad I'm not in that area.:eek:

[overanalyzer]

Wow 0/0 is the start. I'm @ 60/14. So once someone wins we all get reshuffled and start again? How cool is that. I got a guy I'm working with to start playing on Friday and I told my brother about it but he might be bummed out by the chiefs loss still .....

Hmmm the top player only has 309 points .... so we have some time yet.... since they have to keep 500 for a week.

[iceburger]

my name on there is iceburger...and i'm at -47/60

[Thomas712]

25/53 Starting my 4th planet tomorrow

Dzones - cool - what is yoru name on the boards??

Dzones is the name of my character fittingly enough.
I have not been on the forum in there yet.

[overanalyzer]

Arghh - there is some jack a$$ who is taking the entire system next to the one Sammy's brother and I are taking over. would love to swat him like a fly but I am not nearly powerful enough.

Very intriguing game!!!

[Thomas712]

I won my battle against the guy who was attackin me and i earned 6 Supply Units to boot :joy: ... I used one and of course could trade the others in for cash and share it with my friends..or I could just build up my own fleet. he he he....

Thomas

[007]

Are supply units, and trade agreements, artifacts, and money things that come with higher levels? I have not seen anything on how to accomplish these or acquire them yet.

[Thomas712]

If you win a battle and become a level 1 player so to speak then you get an SU (supply unit). this can be spent on building higher (for instance) RObotic building. Lets say it would take you 422 production units to go to the next level. If you had a SU or supply unit you could spend that 1 SU on an upgrade to the robotic building in one shot, and all you have to do is win a battle.
For instance. If you see a planet with a starbase of level 2. It would only take 3-5 destroyers to defeat it. You win. You have to guess as to if there are any other ships to defeat.

Don't know about the artifacts yet but scince I won the last battle I am level 8 and I see many more artifacts that can be purchased now in the trade screen. I think if you were to sell your SU then you get money for them and then in turn purchase an artifact that will give you 10%, 20%..etc toward production points, culture, something like that. Then I think you can sell the artifact later on. Not sure.

I still don't know what or how to do a trade agreement, but I think there is a fee of either 10,000 dollars or 10 dollars, they seem to have commas were the decimal point belongs but I'll bet its 10,000 clams.

Thomas

[007]

do you have to actually do anything to win a battle? Like decide to attack or defend . . . or does it just do it for you based on numbers?

[Thomas712]

You can sit back and wait for someone to attack you or you can seek and destroy. Use common sence though. If you are attacking a planet with a starbase - look to see what defensive value the starbase is, you will need a min amount of destroyers and or crusers and or battleships to defeat the starbase. The guesswork comes in when you don't know how many fighters he has on that planet as well. The defender adds his fighters to the combat value of the starbase as well. Sorry no deep space probes to tell you what he has hidden.

Personally I am out on a S&D right now. I sent all fighters out (44 destroyers and 6 crusers) from my second planet leaving it only a starbase for protection, then this guy starts to attack my first planet that I left my fighters on :nervous: wheew! He sent those three fleets against me, and he lost all, I lost about 16 destroyers out of 36 and I had 3 crusers on there as well as a level 10 starbase.

Attack anything with a 2 or 3 level starbase for some experience where you find that the player has abandend the game or been idle for a week.

[aarone]

If i am being attacked or there is a fleet in my area does that mean i am basically frozen?

The same person attacked me esterday and they are going to attck me today. I have like 200 production points built up and i cannot use them at all :(

what does this mean?

aaron

[Thomas712]

Click on map and look at your system, you name appears on the number planet. If that bar that goes across is red then you are under siege and can not use the pp. This might also mean that he has transports on the way to reduce your population down to zero whereby he will take over your planet, and your pp.
or your clicking the wrong thing.

You should have recieved messages in advance that fleets are on the way, thats when you bump up your fleet or starbase or both.

Thomas

I just got back into it today

hahahahehehe! He was saying the same thing when he was over here earlier. He was nervous one of the "big boys" had a huge fleet cruising through the newbie sector demolishing everything in it's path. :eek: :D :help: :D

Thomas712, How are you doing point wise, and level wise? I am in the RTFM alliance, and I can get you in if you want, and you don't have other plans. A guy I was fighting with in my system ended up being an allie, and now we are together in an officaial alliance. Perhaps we can get a SWF alliance going next round??

I am learning the ropes this round, and I started 15 days after the round was started. Next round I will be scary bad%$#, those who are playing know what 15 days can do.....the guys that started Dec 15, on day 1, have fleets that could crush all five of my planets and not even feel it.:eek:

Come on Griddog I know you can look this suff up in the game. Don't I have to pay a 10,000 fee for alliance?

I am in current battle in the starsystem next to mine, some guy has some other free planets sieged in and I'm busting them out with a fleet of 6 crusers and 46 destroyers.

Sammy if nothing else cant we set up a trade agreement? Im not sure how that all works yet but if it would be benifical we could do that.

[Thomas712]

:happy: sure just move back up the posts and click on the link that I or SAMMY provided.

What is your planet and what is your name?? I have several planets under siege and I would not be suprised if you were one of them ....

Sammy - Yeah I bowed out gracefully but I took out a ton of his fleet with my star bases and destroyers I had in orbit. I also took out an entire small fleet of his around a planet. I am bowing out of hte system and giving it away to him .... for now. My goal is to float some battleships up his way .....

I don't mind being taken over but the dude is a tactless a-hole in his PM's and is a dominantion type .... which I think this game is all about. But from what I read you just can't get to the goal if you are all alone!

Wish me luck!
I am engaging in my first planetary takeover. There is a guy in my system who has been idle for 4 days and he has not done a thing since startup. I have 10 destroyers and 2 transports enroute for a 3am arrival to his 1 population lvl 2 starbase.
anxious now..

[Thomas712]

A bit overkill but good luck. You only need one transport with a pop of 1. You should get your first supply unit out of this. Use it wisely. Do you have the social skill to take over the planet?

[Unknown]

Ok I just joined astro wars and here is my name UknowIT and I am located at Beta Izar 4. 39/65

What should I do I did what you said and invested all of my PP's into robotplants and hydroponicts.

Now whay? I think I am the only one in my system besides this guy named Buzz is that good?? How do I increase my population??

Vince.:happyfish This is a fun game!!:joy:

[Thomas712]

Your population will start going up immediatly, click on the socal level and you will see how it works in the science dislplay. This begining part takes a few days before it starts reaping its rewards. It takes more time each time. Also bumping up the laboritories will make the science time go faster.
Leave it on socal for a few days, your pop will slowly catch up and then keep building up your robotics, I only have a 7 hydroponics on my first planet and the rest are at 5 or 6. I have a pretty even first planet. I spent time builiding up all the buildings before I truley knew what was going on. Then poured it into the robotics. My next level is over 1400 pp.

[Thomas712]

#1 lvl Progress Remain
Population +7 11 362
Hydroponic Farm 6 57
Robotic Factory 14 1459
Galactic Cybernet 9 192
Research Lab 8 128
Starbase 10 288
Production Points 265 +25

Here is what my first planet looks like, I started late like sammy did on Dec 31.

[dzones]

Thomas712

Crap. I thought I needed to outnumber his population with my transports. Will they just convert to the population then?


Do you have the social skill to take over the planet?
I have a level 6 Social and a level 2 culture that allows the 2nd planet.

Any thoughts of what I should do with my first supply unit?
Thanks
Dave

[Buzz]

That guy Buzz is me! :na-na:

Hey Unknown...I replied to your message...sure...sounds good.

I have absolutely no idea what I am doing in that game though. :notsure:

[Unknown]

OK I have spent a total of 7 pp's on hydroponic farms and it only says I have one building is that normal. and when should I start buy ships for my fleet there is a total of 5 of us in my system now?? Also how do I start an alliance??

Vince.:happyfish
