In-Game
How to start, what to do?
The goal of the game is to create the largest, most profitable empire. How you go about this is up to you.
If you don't really know how to do that, we'll give you some tips:
- In order to have the smallest possible expenses, it is worthwhile to set up your first plant in a low-cost area (e.g. Africa). But even this will cause some costs (maintenance) over time, which your company will have to pay for. So evaluate for yourself which business tactic you want to follow. See also the comparison in the Regions.
- Basically, we recommend that you cover the basic raw materials as a first step. You can use these for further productions yourself or you can also supply other players with them. That means, it is best to start with a Well, a Coal power plant or a Nuclear power plant. The well produces Water, among other things, which is needed for many processes. The power plants generate Power, which is needed for almost every process.
To be able to produce these products, you also need raw materials. That means, you can't avoid buying raw materials on the market (Warehouse and Market) at the beginning. For Water you need Power, for Coal-fired power you need Coal and to produce Nuclear power you need a Fuel rod. So you can also build a Mine where you can mine Coal among other things.
- Make sure you always have a supply of basic raw materials such as Water and Power available in the warehouse so that you are always ready to start a new production.
