Ive been building defenses the past few days, not sure where i should set my goal for finishing defenses and moving back to offense
Currently (on my main planet):
Missile Launcher ( 513 available )
Small Laser ( 455 available )
Heavy Laser ( 9 available )
Gauss Cannon ( 34 available )
Ion Cannon ( 2 available )
Plasma Cannon
Small Shield Dome ( 1 available )
Large Shield Dome ( 1 available )
Anti-ballistic Missile ( 30 available )

Any suggestions for a stopping point?

dunno, I'm going until I feel secure. You should definately build a few plasma cannons though.

Destroyed

The attacker has won the battle!
He captures
160005 Metal, 95016 Crystal and 187862 Deuterium



The attacker has lost a total of 1140000 Units.
The defender has lost a total of 30168000 Units.
At these space coordinates now float 1695000 Metal and 3115800 Crystal.
The chance for a moon to arise from the debris is 20 %
4265 Missile Launcher, 555 Small Laser, 40 Gauss Cannon, 1 Ion Cannon, 2 Plasma Cannon, 1 Small Shield Dome, 0 Large Shield Dome could be repaired.


AND STILL no moon! I was over half way to graviton!

Moons aren't that worth it unless you have a ton of money. While phalanxes are fun to play with, you need to be ready to sink a lot of time and money (esp. deut ... they drain it quickly) into them. Moons are really useful when you have pairs of moons and a ton of money though: it makes transporting resources really easy.

Upgrading 2 mines from 22 to 23 today . Tomorrow and the following 2 days I'll focus on upgrading my main's to 24.

How come pair of moons are good and how does it make transporting resources easier? i've never had a moon and for me they are a sign of 1337ness/luck

You can get what's called a jump gate. Think of it as instant, free transportation for as many ships as you want. The only problems: 1. Jump gates are expensive, and 2. Jump gates work in groups of more than 1. E.G. you can't jump with only 1 gate.

I have a moon. It's useless until my mines are a lot stronger.

i c, so if you want to rule the universe, it would make sense to create a colony in each galaxy and then make moons and jumpgate them all.

Are moons connected to the planet of the moon? like are resources on the planet interchangable with that of the moon...and how big is an average moon?

.....Ben, our leader, isnt even active anymore?

You lose =O

Gravitation isn't that easy you know =O

Wow... 8 members in the alliance... I want my 40k/50k points back =D

E) How bout I make a new alliance

I'll call it Ignavi Domini Bellorum, Lazy Masters of War, or Immortales Domini Bellorum, Immortal Masters of War... Or even Attacking Masters of War, if I can work out how to do it. Haha

Lol latin name sounds weird though...maybe something people will actually understand? but it's a good idea. Idiotic Battling Destroyers
I haven't lost yet it jsut means we both restart from 0, and you get a slight head start...this time though, I have a plan...hehehe...a good plan

EDIT-Ben's actually been active aroudn IDB...probably has no time for ogame though...

random Q:can we attack eachother?
