More M means more factories, more rockets and more things that go boom.Īnother good point, if I might get slightly ahead of things, is to deny your opponent their resources. And seeing how the most common way to win this game is to produce more tanks, robots and guns than your opponent, you are going to need all the M you can get your hands on. Things in the game run fine without it, but you can't build anything new. This is represented in the game as METAL. In a similar way most of the things you use in game, for example the radar, are dependent on energy.īut to build a new computer you need parts and the parts need raw material, like minerals and plastic.

Think of it as the electricity in your computer, without it nothing would be operating. With a large storage and a short burst of spending maybe -200 isn't that bad, but with an empty storage it's going to have effects on what you are trying to do.

And that's the final item on the top of your screen, the bars represent how much storage you have of each of the resources. It could read that you have an income +100 of something at the same time you are spending -300 leaving you with a sum of -200 hitting your storage. The numbers indicate the income and spending of the corresponding resource. Also the economy of PA is what sets it apart from the rest of the RTS you might have encountered (with the obvious exceptions of it's predecessors, Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander).Īt the top of your screen are two sets of numbers and bars, one for each resource in the game. If i write another section what would you want it to be about? Feel free to use it in any way but i appreciate a link back to this thread in the PA forums so i can get feedback if people have any.īefore we get to smashing planets into each other, we're going to have to learn how to deal with the economy in this game, because the planetary jet thrusters are very costly. I wrote this yesterday and hope it will help those of you who are new to PA. Buy PAĭedicated / Custom / WAN / LAN / Local Serversĭealing with Crashes?
