Hi folks,

after beeing up to a rough start Kalyke managed to rally quite a few new players during the last week.

As the international uni project brought many of you in, we feel responsible doing our best to keep a consistent stream of new players. We want to make Kalyke the most active universe in .org, if not worldwide.





In order to make this happen we are going to setup a startes aid, including a small competition for anyone that started today or later. Details are as following:





Everyone may receive





100.000 Metal 75.000 Crystal and 40.000 Deuterium ( suited for Astro 3)





upon entering the uni. Just leave a message in here and either i or someone else will help you soon.

If you are joining the Discord Server as well, you may even receive:





200.000 Metal 200.000 Crystal and 100.000 Deuterium ( suited for Astro 5)











Additionally there will be a competition for all the new players registered Oct 25th or later

There will be pricess archieving the highest points until Nov 1st 0:00 as following:

1st place: 3 Moons*

2nd place: 1 Moon*

3rd place: 1 Moonshot*





On top 5 additional moonshots* will be raffled throughout all participants.





*Those numbers are the minimum. If others players wish to contribute as well, we may increase them further.









The show must go on!

Short Guide for beginners, including the specifics of 80% df

If you are new to OGame or have been abscent for a while, this is a very brief guide on how to get (back) in.

First and most importantly: Building fleet early on is very tempting, but unless you will contribute a lot of time you are better off moving your fleeter ambitions to a later stage ( around 500.000-5.000.000 points is a good range to start).

Mines will simply be more effective, less of a hassle and just a solid backbone once you start with fleet. To always build your mines the "right" way its recommended to use infoCompte. This useful script calculates your optimal mine orders including astro & plasmatech.





If you want to invest some time in your progress: inactives and expeditions will be very helpful. In order to easen this procedure you should use AGR. A Script with countless improvements. Some of its features are complicated. If you ever need help you can always ask on either their discord or the Kalyke discord.





Since the universes specs include 80% df you have to be careful. While 80% sounds awesome in terms of profits, this always means that there is two sides of the same medal: Farming you for very few ships will be profitable as well. In order to avoid this its key to not leave any cargos on your planets if you are offline and be cautious about your solarsatellite numbers. A reasonable defense is always a good idea, but be aware: Overextending on defense is extremly bad, as you are hurting your own progress. Defense does never provide a return of invest.





If you have any further questions feel free to join the discord and ask as much as you please.





See you in Kalyke .
