Manual or User Guide? (Yes I know it is Beta)

Looking for information on play

from Stardock.net Forums

Hello Everyone,

Just checking to see if there is some sort of user guide, explaining what the current rules, etc. are?  I just purchased the Beta - and I have played GC3 - so I am familiar with the basic game play from V3 - but V4 had a whole new set of rules I am trying to understand - like colonies can be invaded by any military ship - but core worlds need a transport (I understand the rule and agree with it - but where can I find all these rules?)   

Any help/pointers to the information would be greatly appreciated!

Bradley

Thank you for the link.  It was a useful read. 

I am looking for more details as well - so if you (or anyone) comes across more information on various definitions - like CoreWorld and Colony, etc) - I would love to read them.

Have a great day - and thank you for taking the time to reply.

A core world is one that you assign a governor. This allows you to open the planetary view screen and build things on the planet tiles, as well as grow population.

A colony is a world that you do not assign a governor, you don't get a planetary view screen to build things on the world, it's population does not grow beyond the one used to colonize it. It sends all of it's resources (the numbers for minerals, technology, wealth, food, and influence) the the nearest core world.

Basically a colony adds is base values to the core world it is sending resources, minus whatever decay percentage it has based on distance to said core world.

That is the best way I can describe it in a short amount of time.

Happy Gaming !

Aerez4546 - thank  you very much.  The question I have is where did you learn this?  That is the type of information I am looking for!  But for numerous other areas of the game.   

I realize this is Beta - so I am not complaining - just looking to shorten my learning curve. :)
