Tips for the inexperienced player?
« on: August 24, 2011, 01:07:32 PM »
Hey guys.

I've been trying to wrap my head around Aurora for years, now but the game is so complicated that it's driving me mad :D

Just wondering if anybody could give me some advice on what to do.

Cheers :)

Build a mighty fleet!

Settle the galaxy!

Crush your opposition!









Seriously, this is a very broad question.



General hints:

-Switch "Invaders" off when creating a game, or they might come in after a year or two and whipe the floor with you :)  (you can switch them on later)

-Colonize a planet in your home system, to get civillian commerce started

-Build some defenses on your homeworld/in your home system (Planetary Defense Centers (PDCs) work well for this) to keep your people feel all well and happy.

-Keep an eye on your resources (TN minerals) and find a new source BEFORE you run out in your home system



-Be not afraid to ask stupid questions. We have all been there ;)

Thanks guys, I'll be sure to take a look :)

Should I go with a trans Newtonian or conventional empire?

TN is the default, Conventional is more of the advanced setting.

TN. You'll be able to get some decent ops running fast, but with Conventional you need to build up your TN empire from near-scratch.

I've never had trouble with the Invaders... They have stalked a bit, but I've never had contact with one.

I agree you don't have to, but how could anyone resist.

Seriously, new features or another 800 systems to conquer. I know which one I choose.
