So if there's a rocky section with a minerals bonus sitting outside the workable area for your base, place a mine on it, then park a crawler there for a whopping 7 minerals each turn for the base that produced the crawler. A big thing to note about this is that the crawler doesn't have to be parked on a tile within the workable space for the base. Supply crawlers are units that you can build that you then park on a tile, and they deliver one type of resource from that tile (minerals, nutrients, or energy) to the base that produced the crawler. This is my first Civ style game.Ī more advanced tip, but one that's still very useful to know early on, is to make use of supply crawlers to increase the mineral output of your bases. That's all, I'm sorry if the tips aren't that great, I have only just started playing myself, after not really playing any Civ games in the past. losing is fun! You can learn from your mistakes. I tried watching a let's play but each video was around 40 mins long and I have a bandwidth cap and didn't want to use all of my usage really quickly!ĭon't worry about losing.
#Planet centauri necromancer manual
I believe the manual says to just dive in and use the in game tours for the first couple of games, and then if you want more in depth information then read it. I usually have trouble with the Believers. On the easiest difficulty I found it kind of easy to just research a lot of things in peace, usually I am able to keep everyone friendly, though there is usually one or two factions that decide they want to fight me. Only once someone has declared a vendetta on me I start building some combat units according to the threat. I don't build too many military units either because that ends up costing upkeep or something, I can't remember what it's called. I tended not to focus on combat research in the early game as no one seems to be hostile that early.
#Planet centauri necromancer free
I usually got a free scout with each base and in the early game on easy that was enough to defend my base. In the early game I try to expand as much as I can, and when I put down a new base the first thing I usually do is build a former, and then another colony and then recycling tanks. I am playing it on the easiest difficulty at the moment as I am still learning the ins and outs of the game. I won my first game today, and personally I found it okay to just dive in on a randomized standard planet map.
