Here is a compilation of basic information in the world of Battle Dawn. (Feel free to add to it as you so wish, but make sure to keep it simple as some players want to learn the game without major help.)This section was made so that people can get a basic overview of the critical aspects of the game without reading the manual, I know that some of you are scared of reading that much.

This is a work in progress and I'm basically winging it; please be patient as I can only work on this section a small amount every week. P.S.: Can someone replace the words Metal and Oil with their respective jpg's? I'm having a bit of trouble working the media/image tools on the Wiki...

Basics

You've made your colony, now what?. Well, I would reccomend building up your tech tree until you have about 200 protection ticks left. Focus first mainly on your Farm and food constructions and your metal constructions. Oil will be very unuseful because of its limited use in building.

Remember: = = +

Noob Questions [FAQ]

I'm fed up with idiot questions from 'know-less'ers in Global Announcments so I dedicate this section to answering some of the stupider questions in Battledawn...

a noob said this

  "loplmao i totalee wanna be aw$m at dis gam3 yo. I roxks!!!111!eleven!!11111 now i 
   need to find my c01oniey; 0Ehm gee im $uch a pR0 yo00 peoplulz shud b3 @scared"

I'm sorry, that was the final straw...

- How do I build an Outpost?

First, you need to make sure you have factory centre built. This is the fourth farm/ agriculture construction see Structure List. Then make sure you have 300 and resource and at least 15 expendable To create the OP press the Colony tab and hit the icon on the lower left corner of the colony screen that reads: Build.

- How can I trade?

Trade is only possible with alliance mates. In order to trade, you must press the colony with which you want to trade, then press the 'T' symbol that comes up. Enter the amount of and that you want to send. Trade costs a total of 10 and the person you trade to will receive the resources immediatly.

Combat

Let's face it, if you can't beat an empty OP, you're hopeless and even the most explicit of guides will be of no avail to you. For the unlucky seven of you, this may be shocking news; to the rest of you non-mentally challenged ones: heres how to get over that first akwardness of killing people and being one step closer to world domination.

Troops

There are generally three types of deployable troops: infantry, vehicles and tanks/ armored vehicles

Each one has it's own set of strengths and weaknesses. Infantry are minimal resource troops but are the weakest of the bunch. These should be deployed in large groups for better efficiency. Infantry units are weak against bullets. Vehicles are troops with resource use between infantry and tanks. These are vulnerable against EMP/ Plasma weapons. Tanks: the strongest there is; the kings of the battlefield. These will be an asset, having strong damage rates and high armor/ life points. But every rose has its thorn, these monsters eat up 300 metal to make. Their weakness is explosives.

My Attacking Strategy

There are many ways to approach battle, personally I prefer my lazy and easy strategy.

REQUIREMENTS

and lotsa +.

- Here's how attack First, you want to single out an easy conquer. By this, I mean an unprotected colony that is not conquered and may have a crystal (It would be better to find one that does not have a decent Alliance, lest you want to incur the wrath of a powerful group, beleive me, I've learned the hard way...). If such a colony that is close to you fits the criteria, scan it for troops. If your lucky, the colony will have little to no troops protecting it. Make sure no other people are trying to conquer it and send a Rifleman as a single man conquering squad to kick down their doors and take the colony.
