Re: explanation of terms for new players.

CER = Cosmic Expansion Rate
CEF/"Fleets" = Cosmic Expansion Fleets
CS = Command Star (duh?)
Physicals = Charisma, Attack, Defence, Covert, Assassin and Production power levels.
Personals = The 2 Attack skill types, the 2 Absorption skills, Constitution, Repulsion, Energy Flow, Energy Channeling and MNEC
AT = Attack Turns (if you play main you should know)
DMU = Dark Matter Units

HA - Hunt Assassin
DM - Destroy Military
DI - Destroy Intelligence
sab - Sabotage

Cosmos Rank: Shows your current total planet count and compares it to the size of other players.
God Diversion Power: Rank compares how difficult you are to descend relative to others, Sol could give the math behind it, i'm not sure how it works. I believe it is how many turns it takes for you to recover from a 1 billion ToC attack.
God Offensive Capacity: Same as above, but it compares your offensive capacity to others. Based solely on your ToC.
Influence Power: Some number that is also ranked, though nobody seems to be exactly sure where it gets it's numbers from.. :smt117

gdp = gdc = god diversion power/capacity.
Influence is a measure of how big you are and how fast you can recover planets: more planets and bigger CER = bigger influence.

What is the point of "Optimize TOC" and "optimize CER"?

I try to enter an amount of LFC to use but it always just says I used 0.

Optimize means it will use minimum LF for maximum gain (of TOC or CER). It auto-upgrades personals to do it, so if you use not enough LFC to upgrade at least one personal related to TOC/CER by 1 point, then it will use nothing.

Re: explanation of terms for new players.

Demi gods require energy every turn to keep equipped.

Mass is used to buy star gates on the training page.

You get both Mass and Energy from wreckages you send your demi gods to.

Wreckage turns can only be spent on wreckages and you get them from spending your normal turns after the wreckage is completely harvested.


First Prime Grokwey (Tier 1) - Currently Scavenging in The Great Wreckage of Bomar (collapsing on April 10th at 05:16:14 gametime)

Skill level: 2
--If successful, will return--
Mass: 1,769
Energy: 139,702
Tier 1 Tech Caches: 0

You have supplied the Demi-God with a total of 1000 turns

Your Demi-God scavenging Battle of Baldulfhas returned with 19,301 mass, 452,278 energy, 1 tier 1 tech caches and has saved 328 turns!


Etc. Etc.

Answer your questions?

I creep though shadows
I rise up at night
I live just inside you
And give you a terrible fright
I walk through the darkness
I lurk under your bed
I live in your wardrobe
I creep up in the shed.
I tiptoe through the corridor
I follow you anywhere
I rip your braveness apart
And never ever care
I am fear so don't come near..
