I will be hosting a newbie training session, based on a
very vanilla setup map, for all newbies to come and ask
whatever questions they may have prior to the start of
PettingZoo4 (tentatively planned to start end of March).
The session will start at ~19:30 (EDT) on Wed Feb 9
(2005), and last about 3 hours or so. My intent here
is to help the relative newbies thru the first ~5+ updates
so as to help keep them off the obvious fodder list.
The goals of this seminar are:
1) Initial commands (how to break and explore
without killing all your mobility).
2) Guidance on where to designate Iron Mines.
3) How to get Civs and UWs into your
mountains or gold mines without killing all of
your mobility.
4) Why is is important to not have your civs get
truncated (this shows up in the power report and
indicates that you are fodder).
5) Why you need to make IRON on update 1.
LCMs and HCMs on update 2. EDU, OIL,
DUST, and initial exploration ships on update
3. TECH on update 4.
6) How to make ships, and improve them so
they are ready to go.
7) How to manage your mobility. If you are
asking yourself why mobility is such an issue
during the first 5 updates, then this training
session is for you.
8) Help new players get a grasp of what
to do and why.
I'd ask that anyone interested to please shoot me an
email that you are interested in such a session, so that
I can prepare accordingly. You are welcome to use
anonymous style names in the session (ie: "Joe",
"Fodder1", etc), as to keep the lawnmowers from
getting an easy ID on you if they happen to *check
in* via the "visitor account". Send email to
empire_bungholio @ verizon.net.
The training seminar will be hosted at:
EMPIREHOST=sheepfarm.game-host.org
EMPIREPORT=6666
It is a "Bring Your Own Beer" policy. Otherwise, ask
whatever questions you got. I'll try my best to provide
some guidance on what I think I'd do. I'm not claiming to
be any grandmaster champion, I'm just trying to offer
guidance to new players to help them get thru the first
5+ updates more efficiently.
