2007-09-27 |  | A few questions from a newb. |  |
First, on clusters:
If I cluster 5 of the same planets (say for example 5 forests) does the cluster maintain the properties of the planets? What about a mixed planet cluster? Or with clustering is your primary goal simply the largest landmass possible?
Second, in research:
Is it best to focus on a single infrastructure research, ie commercial, and leave all the others alone and use the market to make up the difference? Or is a balanced approach a bit better? (Not talking about industy vs commericial) I have already gathered that you focus on either industry or commerical on the basis of race. Much more interested in agriculture, mining, and housing.
Third, what is the maximium number of colonies (not planets) one may have at one time?
Finally if somebody could please refer me to a step by step explaination of the stacking method and how battles are conducted, including ending conditions. I`ve seen a few guides and think I understand the basics, but a clear cut slap you across the face because your not-smart walkthrough on an entire battle sequence would be really helpful so I can see exactly how it works.
Yeah I`m a newb, just found this game and am trying to figure a few things so I can develop a more comprehensive, or perhaps even effective, strategy. Hopefully I will find the responce here a bit more pleasant than the standard replies to new players in most games and actually get helpful advice.
Thanks,

99+ day(s) ago | hi there, welcome to th game =)
*planets (mixed or same type) when clustered loose their types and just becomes a Cluster 1or Cluster 2 or 3 and will have their own properties. . clustering helps in increasing the planets you have without exceeding the maximum colony count
*its best to research only one infra research because its time consuming. . .focus in the infra where you will base your main income example: for comm terran research only commercial or if you want to sell food research only agriculture. . mining and indus are mostly researched by miners
*max colonies is on the manual, 15 for terran, 12 for miners, 10 for collective
*finally (i dont know to how to cut-slap it) just build ships. . .ships with highest total PR is on top, followed by the one with the next highest total PR. . .if you attack your top stack will attack the enemies top stack then your second will attack the enemies second stack and so-on (if he or you dont have a next stack then it will attack the other top stacks). . .amount of PR(power rating) percentage lost is the criteria on winning
->time and experience will really help you learn and improve on this game, so fight battles to gain experience. . . join a fed too and your fedmates should be helpfull with your questions =) |

This is also another good site to find information on stacks and how battle works
Look Under Galactic Conquest
Click Tutorials
^_^ Hope this helps ^_^ |

99+ day(s) ago | First Question
When you cluster planets they do not retain the properties of the planet that formed it
Second Question
To focus on a single infrastructure research to me is the best approach
Third Question
Terrans can hold 16 colonies
Aminers can hold 13 colonies
*If you are exploring for the planets successively
However if you already have 15 Colonies, and if you attack another empire and win, you will end up with 18 colonies
However once you reach 16 colonies you cannot attack others
Fourth Question
... ^_^ someone else will answer you ^_^ ... |

Openeye
99+ day(s) ago | Oh and could somebody please explain why this game is the first ever to outlaw the word "stu-pid" and replace it with "not-smart"?
Just a curious sidenote. |

99+ day(s) ago | cluster makes ur landmass increase with 5 planets random nope leave like commercial only one concetrated area maximum colonies depend on race terran 12 up to 15 viral 10 up to 12 stuff like that for more info pm mara at the rt server his name is maraudian |
