Start Screen

  • Select Single Player

Begin a new game

have a look to to do list#Features Overview, especially to columns like SinglePlayer or MultiPlayer.

see Manual#Startup

see Start Game Panel (for options like Galaxy size or Tech Level)


Tasks for the player

  • control food - avoid starvation (so build farms just in time!)
  • control labor pool and assign it
  • sometimes control structures if they are online
  • maybe make individual research assignments
  • check everytime your ships to avoid wasting their time
  • for expanding range maybe build a construction ship which can build an outpost
  • check everytime that your shipyards are running
  • check everytime your building queues: one turn left is too less, better 2 or 3 turn left (to avoid waste of industry)
  • in MP: try to build shipyards as soon as possible to increase ships


Hotkeys


  • 2x ESC goes to Start Screen (CONTINUE is available there)
  • CRTL+ENTER in GalaxyView = END TURN
  • CTRL+ "+" or "-" in GalaxyView zooms


  • ALT+F12 changes between FullScreen- and WindowsScreen-Modus

Tips

  • at diplomatic offers don't forget to SEND
  • ships: right mouse -> select an order
  • growth of population first goes to labor pool (bottom) -> put into buildings


see Manual#Game play tips


Multiplayer Tips

  • it seems to be important to search for systems with dilithium and raw material. Systems with many moons are good for the building Moon Habitation
  • with transport ships it might be available to conquer systems (don't know exactly)
  • Empire's insignia top right shows at mouse over which human player has which race
