Second day in this game and few questions in mind.

Is there any other way to get metal than trading or waiting? What can be done with oil, except building and converting it to energy?

Few other questions; I found old Battle Dawn guide (http://guide.battledawn.com/index.php/Main_Page). Is it totally expired? Also, is there somekind of Battle Dawn version history? I would be interested to see how this has evolved. And final question, when was the first server set up officially?

Thanks for your answers. :mrgreen:

Yeah, sometimes the admins give out bonuses', furthermore you can buy tokens (for real money) which you can exchange for resources. I recommend doing that once you get the hang of the game.

I belief there isn't a version history, but I might be mistaken. It isn't 100% expired, lots of it still counts. I don't suggest using it though, rather use the forum guides or get a mentor ;).

A bit over 3 years ago, as you can find on the about page it started in June 2006 :-).

I hope that answered your questions, feel free to ask more ! ;)

Thanks for the answers! It wouldn't do bad for this community to have guide, such as that old one. ;)

Some more questions; How does the trading work? What is the maximum limit to army? Can enemy soldiers be destroyed on their way to attacking point?

No problem, well, the gameplay guides will cover most and of course there is the in game guide coming up. However, some people (such as the Moderator Ant, I belief) are trying to get the guide to be made suitable for the new client ;)

After building the constructions required, click on a colony in the same alliance and press the trade icon, it costs you energy to trade.
Maximum limit to army? A squad can contain 30 infantry, 15 vehicles or 10 tanks. There is no limit for your entire army, the upkeep (and price for units) does continue to increase so be careful. Not destroyed, but you can use an Ion Cannon to bring 10 units down to 1 HP and put the squads 1 tick back.

So does that mean I cannot trade with my neighbors, who are in different alliance? Is there somekind of notification if there's an attack coming? What does those flag colors stand for next to outpost or colony? Oh, and what is boost bar?

And thanks again. :mrgreen:

Nope, I fear that is not possible. Yes, if it is within Radar range, the radar icon starts flashing in yellowish. Orange is leader, yellow is member. Every time a boost is bought by donators, it gets filled up. When it's filled, every single player on the server gets resources.

How about white and black? Wow, that boost sounds fantastic.

No alliance ;) Everyone get's the boost, so only fantastic for those who are online first and get to conquer the rest before they use the boost. :geek:
