Does anybody know this game and/or is playing it? I read that it is very popular abroad but it's catching up in the Netherlands. They have a sister site (http://www.ogame.nl).

The game layout sounds MOO-ish to me.

Looks promising! :)

What did you build?

ERIKK
15-09-2005, 22:56
Solar Engery level 3, Metal mining level 2 and Kristal mining level 2. You need to get these 3 + your deterium up before you can start building research labs and robots. From there on you have to start building storage and weaponry and a fleet.

After that I dont know I guess you need to start colonizing planets and attack other planets????

Next is a level 3 Solar Plant > Deuterium Mine. Plenty of Chrystal around so my early investment in a level 2 plant is bit of a waste.

Once you get the research lab the game starts: you can start researching a load of things: but I think it will tale a while before you reach Hyperspace...

Happy reading, I also checked some fora and there is a good deal of info around. From what i've seen the game takes well into account that people have other affairs besides playing games, I must say the game mechanics look very interesting. :)

Yeah, after a while it takes half a day or day to build something. So you can step back and relax. In t3eh beginning you can stick around and see building finishing.

Nice - I have been reading the manual for a bit and the game seems far more complex that I imagined.

You are doing very good by the way: for me it's the same - I need another solar plant update and then I will be able to build a research plant

Deuterium is the bottleneck atm and a some overproduction in Chrystal. Buildqueue: Research Lab > Robotic Factory > further improve resource production.

I made a handy spreadsheet that calculates the amount of resources available by the hour so I know when to log in again.

According to one of the manuals it's impossible to attack low tech players (with 0 points). You start getting points when to achieve research levels/points. It seems you loose Deterium when you inspect the galaxy. I lost some too. First I thought it was a glitch as I have no tech for such a fuction but then I got the message 'not enough Deteurium' each time I pressed on the galaxy button (in the left menu).

AFAIK low level tech players are protected against stronger player according to some point-schema. Check the copy&paste text I uploaded earlier (mainly in Dutch).

From the manual:

Melkweg
De melkweg is je contact met je omgeving, hier kun je zien wie er om je heen in de buurt is, en wie je kunt aanvallen. Navigeren doe je met de knoppen bovenaan (12), je kunt coordinaten invoeren en op de knop 'Anzeigen' klikken (vertaalfoutje), of op de pijlen naar links en naar rechts. Recht voor je staan de planeten van jou zonnestelsel, met tussen haakjes de spelernaam, en ernaast de naam van de planeet. Je zult waarschijnlijk ook mensen met een rode, groene (19) of blauwe (13) kleur zien. Dit heeft te maken met wie je aan kan vallen en wie niet. Zolang je nog onder de 5000 score hebt, kun je alleen mensen aanvallen die tussen de 20% en 500% van jou score hebben, dus als je een score van 100 hebt, kunnen alleen mensen van score 20-500 jou aanvallen. Mensen met minder dan 20% zijn groen, mensen met meer dan 500% zijn rood. Wanneer je meer dan 5000 score hebt, kan iedereen boven de 5000 jou aanvallen en omgekeerd. Mensen met een blauwe naam staan in vakantiemodus. Dan kun je niet aangevallen worden, en produceren je mijnen ook niks. Handig voor als je op vakantie gaat. Je kunt vakantiemodus aanzetten bij 'Opties', maar je kunt het dan 2 dagen lang niet uitzetten, dus pas op.

So 20% from something can never be 0 points...

Beam can you copy&paste the technology page in a post. I need the English words to make a template for myself. I am stuck here with the Dutch words...

Anyway here is a template for future planning and helping out the why this and why that...
Current ownings
Metal mine lvl 8
Crystal mine lvl 5 (lvl 6 under construction)
Deuterium factory lvl 3
Solar plant lvl 8
Research center lvl 1


Wish list:
# step 1
Metal mine up from lvl 8 to lvl 10
Crystal mine up from lvl 5 to lvl 10
Deuterium factory up from lvl 3 to lvl 5
Solar plant up from lvl 8 to lvl 11

- A shipyard comes available after Robot factory lvl 2

# step 2
Robot factory up from lvl 0 to lvl 2
Shipyard lvl 1

- A small fighter needs Combustion Engine lvl 1 and a shipyard lvl 1
- Combustion Engine lvl 1 comes available after researching Energy Technics lvl 1 (and Research Center lvl 1 of course)

# step 3
Research Energy Technics lvl 1 lvl 1

# step 4
build a light fighter ;)

How are you doing Beam?

My fleet was destroyed this morning (1 LF and 1 SC). In my two succesfull raids I barely earned them back though. I have 80 points now and since 40 points Crystal and Energy are the bottleneck. Everything needs Crystal but where Metal is abundant, Crystal mining is not. Deteurium is no problem at all. Right now I almost have Energy Tech lvl 3. Then I can build Fushion Plants (dunno what they cost). They need Deut to run...

- first focus the most on your Metal to say 10 (that's what you need the most in the beginning for mines)
- then focus on your kristal to say 9 (kritstal is needed with research and fleet)
- get some deut (3) (you need a bit for research and some research centers/robots)
- research towards spy probes first, you need to build a load of buildings for that, it will take a while)
- research towards transport second (yuou already have near all the prerequisits
- build some transports and start raiding your spied targets
- research towards fushion plants third, solar power gets to expensive
- somewhere in between build a Rocket launcher to prevent being a target yourself

Aren't Beam and Mel in a different universe (the English)????

Check the forum - there is a formula on the amount of probes you need to sent. The spy level and the sort of info you want to see are factors in the formula.

Tomorrow I will be able to build a cruiser in my current game! ;)

Mmh, wouldn't it be more fun if we all got together on one server so that we could have a potential alliance in the future?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogame states that the english translation is pretty poor but I might be willing to give it a try if there is a chance that we could meet each other eventually.

Interestingly, on the german OGame website there are also some links to other free Browsergames. I wonder which one is the best. [confused]

Right now I am playing in 2 English universes (7 and 8) and the new Dutch one (2). UK7 is already so developed that it is pretty hard for a new entry to find beatable targets, UK8 is doable but getting harder.

I'd say try things out in UK8 and let's start with a real CDZ alliance in UK9!

ERIKK
29-09-2005, 13:42
The chance to meet is present but it takes a while before you can meet as flying far takes a load of time. But when you have a ship you can sent it anywhere. There is also a small chance that you start near me, beam or propain. One of the important things is that this universe started yesterday 12:00. So if you sign up you get a fair start (compared to the early birds) and a headstart compared to the rest... ;)

Beam, what are your coordinates?

not possible - if you are attacked you get a message.

Second one that entered the new universe! I have a ML since this morning so if he attacks me he will loose his precious transport and that means bye bye tactic. Safe rading means spy probes and for spy probes you need a load of upgrades and techs. So you need raw materials...

btw: you can search on vloot number too at the rankings/statistics!

Update:

After the 1600 recalc Erikk still is well in the top 100 and I moved from the 800ish to 401. About to build my 2nd Robotic Factory. From there it is another 9 steps to the first small cargo and raiding can begin. :)

In UK7 real turtle strategy is being played, surrounding Solar Systems simply have to many strong players.

UK8 is starting to be raiding fun however. Found a couple of inactive planets and a couple of planets with nice stacks of resources. Most of the time those planets build some defense once they have been Beamed. [evil]

ERIKK

Yep, ranked 23th!

Changed the alliance homepage. I have made a peace treaty with another alliance (who asked me to join them). They have two more friends. That sums up a total of 17 players. Please check this b4 raiding someone.

I promise not to make any more deals with other players. ;)

I joined the german ogame on Monday and it's going o.k., I guess, focussing on getting the economy going first (as in civ ;)). Made the mistake of concentrating on Deuterium a little too much but other than that I'm happy (especially since nobody is raiding me so far).

Would be MUCH cooler though if there'd be a universe where we all could start together and have an alliance (if I join you guys now I'd just be hopelessly behind plus I guess it's already pretty crowded whereever you guys are). :(

Yeah, but that's the .nl universes, right? What about .co.uk (I assume those are the english ones, right)? After all, I don't think I'd want to learn Dutch or memorize the pictures. :(

Maybe we can all get together when they start uni 10 in the UK? Or any other suggestions?

BTW, have you heard of this game? www.space-pioneers.net
I started that the same day as ogame, so far both seem to be very similar, I might even prefer the latter because of the cooler pictures and the nice tech tree. :) I'm at uni 7 and the nice thing is, you can select english/german/turkish as interface language so it doesn't matter that much where you're from (unlike ogame.nl since I couldn't switch to english interface there, right?).

I'm really interested in starting a new game. While my home planet is producing metal and crystal in good quantities now, it looks like my solar system is occupied (and has been so from the very beginning). Thus, I don't see many options to expand here and since all players are red (indicating the are "strong") and in alliances, it doesn't look like I'll be able to take anything from them either. :( Interestingly, nobody sent any spy probes so far. Strange...

The other game is going better (space pioneers), I'm pretty alone in my part of the galaxy and even though I had some spy probes as visitors, I have plenty of options to expand and do stuff. :)

Ahh, I see. Oh well, I pretty much stopped playing since without the possibility of expanding this isn't that much fun.

I'll check in on a regular basis. ;)
