LIFEFORM MENU'

1.1a HOW TO START & EXPLORE

The icon with the number 1 show that none of the different alien species has been selected on the planet.

Clicking on icon 1 will open the lifeform menù which will allow you to choose the species you prefer by clicking on icon 2 "select".

In 3 and 4 you can see the indication of the XP points and level, which will improve the technological bonuses of the species.

You can earn XP by sending intergalactic explorations and capturing further aliens of this species.

To get started, you need to select an Alien on a chosen planet.

At start you can only select HUMANS, the only Alien able to develop the technology needed to discover other species.

After reaching 200,000 inhabitants and built the "Research Centre" you can start exploration by select and reserch to level 1 the "Intergalactic Envoys" in the Tech tree.

Now you will be able to scour universe, looking for new alien species, not yet known, or to improve the xp of those already known by increasing their bonuses.

It is not possible to replace the HUMANS unless other alien species have been found first.

In the Galaxy Menù you can start exploration through the purple, DNA-shaped, icon

No ship is needed for exploration but you must have an empty fleet slot to send it.

Each exploration mission costs; Metal 5,000 - Crystal 1,000 - Deuterium 500

Every coordinates can only be explored once every SEVEN days. Coordinates that have been explored for less than seven days appear with a gray icon and cannot be explored.

Exploration CANNOT be started when there is no more free space in the aliens' residences, or when the number of resident aliens has already reached the maximum capacity.

You can find the outcome of the explorations in the expedition section of the messages folder.

1.1b ARTEFACTS AND XP POINTS

With EXPLORATIONS players can discover alien species, find artefacts and earn XP points

Exploration is essential in the early stages to allow players to choose between the different races, at any time to acquire artifacts and later in development, they become a focal point of the game, as its execution brings significant benefits with XP

Whenever you meet a race, whether you already own it or not, you will be able to get XP, in variable quantities, entrusted to chance.

Messages indicating alien finds can be read in the Messages -> Expeditions section

These points will not form a single accumulation but will be counted separately for each breed.

The points obtained by finding Humans will increase the Xp count relating to that race only and will work the same way for the other three types of aliens.

Their quantity can be constantly monitored by clicking on the alien icon, present in the upper menu, positioned to the right of the icon showing the DM present in the account

Each level increases the research bonuses of the race by 0.1%.

Example ONE:

Develops at level 1 Rock'Tal's Ion Crystal Enhancement (Heavy Fighter), which at that level increases, among other things, Heavy Fighters' SHIELDS by 0.3%, with bonus race 2%

As can be seen from technical data, LifeForm Tech Bonuses, equal to 0.077, are thus obtained

Shields (base value)...................................... 25

+0.3% research bonus calculated on 25............. + 0.075

+2% XP bonus calculated on 0.3%..................... + 0.0015

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------

TOTAL LIFEFORM BONUS 0.0765 rounded ........+ 0.077

Example 2:

Some LF have, among their constructions, some buildings that increase the bonuses on their searches, as in the case of Humans, so there will be a further count

Develops at level 1 Humans Bomber Mk II, which increases, at that level, Bomber SHIELDS by, among other things, by 0.3%

Metropolis is also present on the planet at level 9, which grants 4.5% increase on bonuses

As can be seen from the technical sheet, the LifeForm Tech Bonuses, equal to 1.598, are thus obtained

Shields (base value)................................ 500

+0.3% research bonus calculated on 500................ + 1.50

+4.5% bonus increase calculated on 0.3% ..............+ 0.0675

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIFEFORM BONUS SUBTOTAL ................................+1,567

+2% XP bonus calculated on bonuses.....................+0.031

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------

TOTAL LIFEFORM BONUS ......................................+1,598

LIFEFORM MENU'

LIFEFORMS have always hovered in space, furtively.

Ogame's evolution , with version 9, has made it possible to finally detect them, creating a special department which, through the development of truly futuristic and extremely precise structures and the refined research of technologies, grants the Emperors present in the Universe be able to take advantage of the great powers that these Aliens hold.

There are four alien species that can be detected and set in the colonies: three related to a Class (they will specifically enhance their bonuses) and one, the Humans, equivalent to a class that has not yet existed, very balanced, with interesting bonuses and with the peculiarity of being the only one able to "discover" new species

Humans Primeval species	Kaelesh Related to Explorer	Rock'Tal Related to Collector	Mechas Related to General

Players will have the opportunity to develop the qualities of the aliens in "purity", adopting and increasing all their specialties or "mixing" the various life forms found, to achieve specific objectives for their Empire.

These dynamics, given the numerous alien capabilities, will make each account truly unique, since the possible combinations are almost unlimited.

For example, we could have Collectors boosted by the Rock'Tal but using exploratory boosts from the Kaelesh... Generals who will dart even faster and more powerful with the skills given to them by the Mechas but with mines boosted by the Rock'Tal, or even Explorers who they will exclusively perfect the Mechas skills to possess, through the use of ships, an extraordinary combination that will lead them to be very fast predators of every position in the galaxy ... and so on ad infinitum

The V9 section is an expansion of Ogame which, as seen above, introduces several new tools but which you don't need to develop.

The player can strategically decide whether to do it or not, whether to start unlocking it early in the game or wait to reach a higher stage of development

The V9 section is also almost totally independent from the classic Ogame, as its structures do not require planet spaces or buildings belonging to it, with the exception of the energy needed for some buildings and the Nanite Factory (but it is not a prerequisite) which speeds development time for LifeForm buildings

To monitor the Life Forms live, some icons dedicated to them are active in the top bar of the menu:

These icons, active as already mentioned, show the number of aliens present on that planet (1), the amount of food in stock (2) and the type of alien resident at that moment (3)

In the screen above, at point 3, there is NO alien, that is, it is still necessary to proceed with the choice of him (or he has been deactivated) and he can be understood from the generic icon instead of the specific ones illustrated above.

When the alien is present on the planet, the icon that belongs to him appears instead of the generic image (in the screen below the Humans reside on the planet):

New icons have descriptive tooltips

Available: Indicates how many Aliens are present in this structure (if their number exceeds the capacity, it means that their level of growth is optimal and they need more space to avoid their escape)

T2 LF: Indicates, among the aliens present, how many have been trained at the T2 level

T3 LF: Indicates, among the aliens present, how many have been trained at the T3 level

Living Space: indicates the maximum amount of Aliens that can be permanently hosted

Satisfied: Indicates how many aliens are adequately fed. If the satisfied Aliens are greater than those residing at that moment, it means that there is an overproduction of food (which will be set aside up to a certain quantity)

In practice, the amount of satisfied users indicates how many inhabitants the building that produces food can feed

Hungry: indicates how many aliens are present but hungry (therefore they will soon leave the planet)

Growth Rate: Indicates how fast the aliens are reproducing

Bunker Space: indicates the maximum amount of aliens that will be protected from enemy attacks (aliens in fact die if exposed to enemy fire. Reducing their number will make those structures and researches that require a particular amount NOT available)

Available: Food available at the time

Storage capacity: corresponds to the maximum amount of food that can be stored.

When a food production building is outsized for the level of its inhabitants, it stores food for the future.

Once the maximum capacity is reached, production stops

Overproduction: Shows any production that exceeds the aliens' hourly consumption

Consumption: indicates the hourly consumption of food

Consumed In: Shows how long the stored quantities will be able to satisfy the aliens

Screen in FIG. 1 shows an oversized food facility for Alien consumption.

The latter being already at the maximum (they are red) have allowed the structure to reach the maximum storage capacity of accumulated food

Screen in FIG. 2 shows a building for the production of food undersized compared to the inhabitants (the inhabitants are increasing, they are orange)

Everything that is produced is consumed instantly and the missing is deducted from the warehouse, which, in this case, is able to provide food for 1h and 15m
