Anyone play this here? I'm on Beta and am currently in [CM](Part of the RAGE alliance, which is 1 side of the largest war in the history of the server.), which is the rank 20 guild(Recruitment closed due to war.), and it's very fun. My account name is Pabbicus. If you wants to join, here's a link; http://beta.astroempires.com/?ref=B.53447 (Yes, my recruitment link, it doesn't harm you but it does help me :o). If you do sign up, I can reccomend you join Ori, my former guild that I plan to return to after the war, as they're a decent bunch and I like to see them get stronger.
I'm in B27, which is a decent midground. B47-8 are a no man's land because of BoB, B50's are the colonial territories of the larger guilds who are currently at war, and below the 20's is the heartland of the large guilds currently at war, but unguilded you're screwed no matter what's going on. The premium is very costly but you can still do well without it, the highest you can really get to without incredibly lacking production capability would have to be around 2000 economy, then you can't get much more income. There are dozens of startup guides on the AE forums as well.
Sort of, there are a bunch of different dynamics, and the battle system is completely different, the core gameplay is the same, though it's a lot more focused on the battle aspect than Ikariam.
You just build on your planet. For now focus on your economy. Build up to lvl 4 metal refineries. Then build 1 shipyard, 1 metal refinery, 1 spaceport, 1 metal refinery, 1 research lab. Then just research computer and energy to lvl 2 each.
After that get robotics factories and alternate between metal refineries and robotics in the same formula as before based on cost. For research, try and get to Energy lvl 8 and Stellar Drive lvl 4(Stellar drive is available on energy 6.), it seems confusing but all this is so that you can get an outpost ship as quickly as possible to start getting more planets. Just use the same formula of building as above but without research labs for your new planets and expand your economy.
Since you get protection from players more than 10 levels above you build 1 fighter per base and that's it until your premium is almost gone. On about day 6 start pumping your credits into defenses and ships. With defense don't spend that much money, 20/20 of your best turrets should be enough(each level makes 5) for until you get Planetary Rings and Planetary Shields(the only real defenses in the game).
