Forum-Thread Tutorial

See also at the end of this site a list of threads many people gave us helpful feedback

Yet there is to get familar with BotE:

Menu-Bar: Help leads to Wiki, Homepage, Forum and so on
GameSettings
BotE is only fullscreen. But it's no problem for ALT+TAB going to windows and then coming back to BotE.

- shipyard: first only small ships, later: shipyard must be online, deritium is needed (can be get by building a mine in a system with deritium)

- barracks: can help for morale, but in the main thing is needed to build troops which can be transfered to ransport ships to conquer other systems after war has been declared...so it works :-)

where are the ships
- terraform (direct colonize possible - color of planet letters!) - terraforming points
- colonize: colonize ship must do a separate step = 2nd step for this, colonize one, more or all planets in one step?

1-GalaxyMap: system are not terraformed and colonized automatically after first colonization is done - each left planet (with a red character) has to be terraformed as well and all planets with light green character has to be colonized by another colony ship (here one ship can colonize more than one planet with one command "colonize") - well that's what speaker tells (Terraform: "Select one planet", colonize: no speaker makes a restriction)
2-SystemView - all explaining (each ressources right side, also grey entries in building list)
3-1-Research Screen: handling and infos about, using bars, taking care of "locked"
3-2-Special Research Screen: taking care of the gap if no of the three option is chosen
3-Research (all screens): when clicking bar and if "locked" -> Popup that tells about "locked"
4-1-Intel:
6-2-Advantages of monopoly

Else:

fonts are awful
fleet/ships not located -> mouseover already discussed. Also ship handling must be shown within terraforming and colonizing, creating and using a fleet
yet by clicking a ship in ship overview list no automatically going to it in galaxy map
no advisors yet like "these ships have no order" (well...it's the gamer's part to take care for this in his mind, but for many gamers it's unusual in comparison to other games)
