Tips for Getting Started with OGame: * Build Metal mines and Solar Plants first.
* Keep alternating between the Metal mines and the Solar Plants until you are about level 3 in each.
* Toss in the occasional Crystal Mine, and maybe a Deuterium mine.
* Build mines and plants until you can build a Colony Ship.
* Colonize another planet. Keep this planet regardless of how many slots it has. Slots are how many buildings a planet can contain.
* After you colonize your first planet, build resources and colonize another (remember to build on the new planet as well as the old one).
* Colonize a third, and build resources on it.
* Start researching other technologies, and improving your structures.
* Eventually you will need to destroy any planets with less than 250 slots. Start with the smallest and colonize again. This time, keep trying until you get a planet over 250. Build that up (same as before) and then destroy and colonize another.
* Rinse, Repeat and Take over the Universe!
