Matrix Games Forums

OK, guys, I came from Origins 2005 with RFTS in hand--I'm familiar with the old Age of Empires routine of build, expand, exploit and exterminate, but this is something different. I love the concepts, but rather than spending hours & hours on reading the manual & going through the tutorials, I'd like a quick view of what is important from the players.

Anyone wanna take a stab at a Cliff's Notes version of the essentials?
