Welcome Person,

You'll find a lot of info here...The Deity's Guide to the Universe about gameplay, etc.:
https://talk.gatewa.rs/viewtopic.php?t=11345
In The Guide: read from "POINTERS" section down and then look at the math(naq, income stuff, etc.) at the beginning to get a good overview of the game from choosing a race to weapons). Reading about integration and multipliers may be confusing to first start out with.
-using The Guide and interpolating it's possible to figure out what you need to do to improve your gameplay, rank, etc. It helps to be mathematically inclined, but not a requirement.

and the Newbie/Faq fourm is great to help out:
https://talk.gatewa.rs/viewforum.php?f=18
-the 'Announcments' and 'Sticky' are the best to read first as they will probably answer most of your questions
-if you have a friend playing, it might be helpful for him/her to "show" you how to play(ie. visually with you standing there watching)

K
p.s. this should have probably been posted in the Newbie/faq fourm

Let me give you the universal 5 step plan:


The Xeno wrote:1. Work on your UP it is 'the' most vital component to the game
2. Get a good commander (someone who gives at least 500K+/turn)
The higher your UP the better a commander you can find. (look in recruitment section)
3. Work on your UP some more.
4. Once you have about 20K UU start really working on your defense. (I am assuming that you have had a defense, just not a big one)
5. WHile your working on defense get some spy levels and work on your covert (not anti-covert) power. You don't need to worry about your attack power so much as 1 mill attack power can still haul in 70millnaq now and then.

Ask your commander questions. And by the time you reach #5 you should be pretty competent with the game.



Just a general guide line.
Ask your com, or post (here), specific quesitons.
