ok tauris has a plus 25% offence on their offence weps but they have a bad defense.

Anwyay since u are begining you should work on your Unit Production which generates untrained units for you..take these units and train them into miners which will give u more income per turn...But remember to leave some of these untrained units to be trained into defence and offence.

and o yes ALWAYS buy the most expensiveest wep there is for your units

Bascially what has been said:

Updrade your Unit Production
(Divde the amount by 48 to get number you make per turn)

Get a commander ASAP (check the recruiting section)
They will give you a big income boost and help answer questions.

Don't worry about Anti-Covert, it won't do you ANY good for several weeks.

Instead, focus on regular Covert (which will let you see targets), Defense and strike.

If you browse the low ranks (10K+) you will find plenty of 0 Defense Farms with 60mill+ lying in the open. :) Reinvest that naq into UP, and don't forget to repair your weapons.

This is hilarious!

Absolutely no offense intended stargatgirl4life, but everyone that I have seen has basically been told:

First read the game help file!

Then read the updates file!

Then read all the stickies in this forum!

Then use the search button!

Admittedly there has been some patience mixed in occasionally with an answer here and there tossed in too.

What's funny is how much better the response is when "girl" is in the name.... :smt043

Hmmm... perhaps I should change my name!

AND, welcome to the game Stargatgirl4life! I think you will have no problem finding help getting started out. ;-)

It might have helped your argument if I had known that when i first posted ;)

Besides, I assure you that if you look, you will find that most of these sort of 'advice/tactics' questions are met with a deluge of information no matter what the name (though the content does have an effect). Nothing discriminatory/chivalrous here.

Now, Freestyle i would suggest you go search :P

I used the search button an d looked for "search button" in this forum. I picked this example out of the batch as a nifty example:

http://herebegames.com/StarGateWars/vie ... rch+button

You hit the search button, newbie faq and updates in your post on that thread Xeno! Not to mention the search funtion mentioned in your avatar and sig.

Now I'm not saying that there aren't many helpful replies. There are. And you are the source of many solid answers. I owe a decent amount of knowledge to this forum - both when I asked questions and read answers to others' Qs. Also, I totally believe you that you didn't see "girl" in her name.

Still, I'm sure that you have noticed overall the greater and more quickly given aid to girls in male dominated online games. And she certainly only received the fast and helpful side.

Maybe there is a sociology major out there needing a project that can gather the stats on the character of responses based on gender assumption and so forth. If you have the right class at the right time you might even get credit for it! They eat up gender studies!!

Anyway, I'mnot and I'm tired of hunt and peck typing because a cat is sleeping on my left arm. :-D

Lot's of respect your way Xeno!

Lol, I’m sure when Spacey gets back he can have a go at it.
Someone else was working on an essay dealing with the microcosm of human physiological groups that appear in MMORPG's (puck?) and I know someone else was working on something similar dealing with the alliance caste system.

Post the question in the 'This or That' section, you'll probably have six or seven PDF's in your PM box. :P
I'm sure Teal'auc and Shizune can also give their 2-cents.

Not sure if that’s a compliment or an observation about my (lack of)sensory perception ;)

Alright :)
We have strayed about as far as we can go without diving into the question about whether or not 'girl' gamers actually exist J/k, J/k!, and turning this into complete spam.
So, any further comments not aimed at tying off loose ends should be posted in the 'This and That' or 'Spam Temple' sections :)
Cheers to you all, /-Xeno
