planets are your Untrained Units of ascension except they don't make any dark matter until trained too..... it upgrades per day one at a time but the price is same as main......
attack turns are used for spying and sabbing... no separate covert points.....
as far as i can see the races don't have a lasting bonus.... just a starting one....
the rest is pretty straightforward......you need 1 attack planet per attack weapon.... and i tihnk but don't know about the clustered planet things (5 in 1 ascension enhancement) but i think it's like a super soldier but don't know if you need 5 dif weapons for that or what.... or if 5 dif weapons would maximize its use.....
that's about all i think i found confusing at first and hope it helps..... i also hope it's right
