erik Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hey I wanted to invite you gamers to join me in a free online strategy game. Its called ogame and you can check it out at www.ogame.org Basically you start out with nothing and build up an empire with mines, fleets, etc. You can be peaceful or form alliances whatever you want. I have an Alliance called TLI that stands for Temple of Logic Insitute. Some of my enemies are the Communist Catholic alliance among others. There are about 7000 people in my Universe, which is Universe 3. If you have time and the interest, stop in and join my Alliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the messages on the menu on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Scott, Yes I saw that. Feel free to ask any questions either here or there. It starts off a bit slow with building some mines etc. but gets a bit more interesting when you have fleets and the constant threat of aggressive neighbors who want your stuff. We have bombarded some of the Communist Catholics into "vacation mode" so look out for retaliation from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Little Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Are you sure that URL is correct? I just tried it and got the message "Sorry, www.ogame.org cannot be found." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RationalEgoistSG Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I think the server is down. It was working for me this morning when I played, but now I can't access the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yes the server is indeed down. That's the first time its ever done that. I hopes its not just the US server because people play in the UK and in Europe too and I have fleets vulnerable right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevesnamrah Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 hi.. I read somewhere that the login page was down. This alternative login page should work.. http://213.239.213.163/portal/?go=start&lang=org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightierPen Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I joined. Question: How can I tell what my production rate is? For example on my resources page my metal production is 119. Is that per hour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Yes that is per hour. If you click on the picture of a particular mine it tells you how much it will put out per hour and how much energy it takes to run it at 100% capacity. So far I think 6 people have joined from here. That's great. Here are some tips to get started. Build 7 metal mines with enough power plants to keep them at 100%. Then build crystal mines up to 6 or 7. Then start building Dueterium synthesizers. After that go for Robotic Factory Level 2 and then Shipyard. Looking at the Technology tree is key to planning out what to build which is a major part of the strategy. That and keeping the resources safe from predators while you are saving up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_Connery Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I finally got my shipyard built today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unconquered Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I haven't look at this game but it sounds a lot like Outpost. Is there a connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 And you made your first salvage mission. You need to research espionage probes next so you can find the best targets. I have not heard of outpost. The original ogame was in Germany and then they came out with an English speaking version. I found out about it from my brother in law who is from Poland.

MightierPen Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 How big should my fleet be before I make my first raid? Should I wait until I get spy probes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 1 small transport is fine. Have another online Alliance member scan if you don't have probes or you can attack blind. I'll find a good target for you to keep you in salvage for awhile. Hold on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Ouch, lost all my probes. I'll try again tomorrow for you if someone else doesn't do it first. Send Circular mails from the Alliance screen to ask stuff in game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobyk100 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hey guys, Im checking out the game now. Ill post again with my info if I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightierPen Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Are the planets closest to you the same that are closest on the list? Because both of them are owned by that one guy who got your probes and now I'm kinda nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobyk100 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hye, looks cool, I have to go to bed, but my name is tobyk100 and my planet is Israel. I sent an application to your Alliance. Ill be on more later this week, look foward to conuering the universe with you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 My Co Founder for the Alliance says to have 2000 points but I'll make an exception for you guys. Just let me know if you submit an application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobyk100 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 How do I send a circular message? Also, what should be my stategy right now? Im trying to build powerplants so I can build shipyards and attack people. Question: When you talk about a planets recources, are those the recources the person in control of that planet has stored?

Jingles Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I sent an application yesterday but was refused because I had no points but now that I have a resounding TWO points I'll try again. My username is Judaa Marr and my planet is called Angmar Prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Ok thanks Jingles. For game info click the help button on the menu at the right. You should also look at www.ogametips.org You send a Circular mail in the Alliance screen. You have to be an Ensign to do so which everyone should be that has points. To start off build 7 metal plants, and then 7 crystal plants, and enough deuterium plants to build shipyards. All the while building enough power plants to sustain growth. After that there are lots of options but I recommend building small transports and salvaging from inactive planets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
