Hey guys,

Just got DW: Legends, and have been playing a few games, but to be honest, I don't really know what's going on.

I have most of the automation settings as they are when the game started.

I think I have been making a mistake colonizing rubbish planets, because when I started to find decent ones i could never get a colony ship there quick enough, and they often take ages to get built. So basicly, what do I need to do to be better at colonization?

Also, do I need to manually order construction ships to build mining facilities, resorts etc, or will they get round to it them selves?

Finally, what the hell is going on with resources? I htink they are important, but, as with every thing else, I don't really know what's going on!

tl;dr: I need a noob 101 guide!

thanks

You could try watching one of these tutorial videos, this one Let's Play DW RotS - Starting a new game is for ROTS, it should give you a rough idea of what is going on, there are other videos but they seem to be for Shadows, if there are other videos for Legends I am sure someone will post a link, failing that try a search on YouTube.

the best thing for legends is 'lets micromanage' LP by Larry Monte, very informative

Here is one for Legends

Also, you might want to look at (and maybe study/take notes) on these:

tm.asp?m=2988049 its a link to a guide to guides, a set of guides about various aspects of DW play. Some is pre-pirates, but still very helpful.

Thanks for the help guys, it#s made a big difference already. I even took a colony in a war!

Now I have the phantom pirates thing, and it's really really annoying.

Ah, the phantom pirates... very nasty... just hope they 'bother' someone else until you get a strike force fueled s and equipped and in range of (armed to the teeth...lol) their base.
