New and confused!!

from GalCiv2 Forums
Ok so Ive really tried to understand this game, I've tried the ingame tutorials, looked for step by step instructions online, and even tried an hour in game trying to find my way around. All have just left me more confused! All i want to do is understand the basics of how to play, then hopefully ill learn the rest as I go. If anyone can give me some starting points, or point me in the direction of somewhere that can, Id be very appreciative!! Any help would be great.

You are in the right place. Spend a few hours and look around the forums - there are plenty of threads that help out new players.

The GC2 Wiki is also a good place to learn things...

A good starting point is the GalCiv2 Wiki:

GalCiv2 Wiki Link

A bit dated (pre-DA) but still chockablock with good information.

I myself favor sandbox mode over the campaign but that's personal preference.

There's lots of "beginner's tutorials" out there, look for:

1. Good Colony Rush strategies
2. Economy tutorials and Planetary development tactics
3. Diplomacy (its all about attitude )
4. Game winning tactics (Military, Diplomacy, Cultural Influence, Technology)

Welcome to GalCiv2! Good luck and happy empire building.

Hey Popcorn! How are you putting the high command pic in your post? Wouldn't mind having that myself.

After you've read Bar'ds beginner guide, my guide was written just for people like yourself. It's 30+ pages now.
