Vor allem für Spieler, welche bisher noch keine Erfahrung mit Browserspielen haben, ist OGame zu Anfang etwas verwirrend. Aber auch bei anderen Neulingen ist es vollkommen normal, dass sie sich nicht sofort zurecht finden und einige Fragen im Raum stehen. Beiden Gruppen wollen wir mit diesem Tutorial helfen, schnell und unkompliziert alles zu lernen, was es über OGame zu wissen gibt.

In the beginning OGame might be a little confusing, for any new player, even if this is not his first online multiplayer game but especially for those who are not use to browser games. But even if OGame is not the first browser game one plays, it is normal for problems and questions to show up, and that a newcomer does not know everything. We want to provide help for both groups in order to make it easier to learn everything about OGame in a pleasant and easy way. In the spirit of the words of Douglas Adams: "DON'T PANIC", all will become clear after reading this tutorial.
  
Dabei sehen wir uns nicht als Ersatz, sondern als Ergänzung zu dem IngameTutorial, welches Du im Spiel wahrscheinlich bereits bemerkt hast. Auch wenn Du unseren ausführlichen und bebilderten Kapiteln folgst, sind dir die Belohnungen, welche im Spiel für bestimmte Meilensteine im Aufbau vergeben werden, sicher. Dafür erhältst Du hier über die anfänglichen Tipps hinaus auch alle Informationen, die Dich im späteren Spielverlauf weiter bringen werden.

We did not create this project as a replacement for the in-game Tutorial, which you may have noticed in the game, but as an addition to it. By working along the game's tutorial you will nonetheless receive the rewards given for various important milestones while building up your Empire. Here, in wiki, you will find the detailed and illustrated information needed in the beginning and, moreover, all the information you may need to be successful in further stages of OGame.
  
Wenn dies Dein erstes Browsergame ist, solltest Du Dir zunächst einmal die Eigenheiten dieser Spiele einprägen. Im Gegensatz zu klassischen Computerspielen läuft OGame auch dann weiter, wenn Du selbst nicht am PC sitzt. Das bedeutet, dass während Du schläfst oder arbeitest, tausende andere Spieler in Deinem Universum aktiv spielen und Dich auch angreifen können. Dafür benötigst Du für OGame keine Software, sondern kannst es von jedem Computer mit Internetanschluss mit einem Browser aufrufen. Dennoch muss man hier natürlich etwas strategischer denken als bei einem Spiel, das man einfach speichern und ausschalten kann - doch keine Sorge, mit unserem Tutorial wirst Du Dich schnell daran gewöhnen.

If this is your first browser game, then there are some special features of this type of game you will need to pick up very fast to be able to feel the pleasure of gaming and survive in game. Contrary to conventional computer games OGame continues even if you are not sitting at the computer. This means that while you work or sleep, thousands of other players may be online in your universe and are able to attack you as well. OGame does not need any additional software, and you can play OGame at any computer, mobile phone or tablet with a web-browser and a connection to the internet. One needs to think more strategically than in a normal game where you can save, reload or end a game. But don't worry - this tutorial will provide you with every bit of information you may need and it will not take a long time to get use to it.

Wie bei jedem anderen Spiel auch sollte man sich bei OGame zunächst einmal einen groben Überblick über die Spieloberfläche verschaffen. Man kann vollkommen gefahrlos die einzelnen Schaltflächen ausprobieren und sehen, was sich hinter den einzelnen Menüpunkten verbirgt. Ein besonders wichtiges Element, welches gleich ins Auge fällt, sind die verschiedenen Rohstoffe am oberen Rand, um die sich in OGame fast alles dreht. Metall, Kristall und Deuterium werden zum Bau von Gebäuden und Einheiten sowie zum Forschen benötigt, Energie braucht man hauptsächlich zum Betrieb der Minen. Die fünfte Ressource, Dunkle Materie genannt, nimmt eine Sonderrolle ein und wird im Kapitel Premiumfeatures genauer behandelt.

Like in every other game it is recommended to get an idea of the interface at first. You may feel overwhelmed by the amount of information you are presented with, but you will become accustomed to it very quickly.

Up top, your eyes are immediately drawn to the different resources you possess. Metal, Crystal and Deuterium are necessary for the construction of buildings, ships and conducting research. Generally Energy is used to run the Mines. The fifth resource - Dark Matter - plays a special role and will be introduced later in the chapter {{Link|Tutorial:Premium features}}.

Ein weiteres zentrales Element, welches Du Dir genauer ansehen solltest, ist das Hauptmenü im linken Bildbereich. Mit den dortigen Schaltflächen erreichst Du alle wichtigen Untermenüs, welche Du im Spielverlauf immer wieder benötigen wirst. Die Seite, auf welcher Du Dich derzeit befindest, nennt sich Übersicht und kann auch immer per Klick auf den gleichnamigen Button erreicht werden. Unter Versorgung, Anlagen, Forschung, Schiffswerft und Verteidigung kann man all die Einheiten, Gebäude und Forschungen bauen bzw. freischalten, welche in den nächsten Kapiteln dieses Tutorials noch genauer behandelt werden. Unter "Galaxie" findest Du die Karte aller Planeten und Systeme Deines Universums, welche im späteren Spielverlauf noch stark an Bedeutung gewinnen wird. Wichtig ist auch die Schaltfläche "Netzwerk", hier verstecken sich das Nachrichtensystem sowie das Allianzsystem. "Imperium" und "Offizierskasino" werden im Kapitel Premiumfeatures behandelt.

Along the left of the page are the main game menus. Behind each one you can find vital information about the state of your empire, and universe you play in. These menus allow you to construct resource buildings, facilities, ships, defense, conduct research, launch missions, communicate with other players, or purchase the premium features. Each of these options will be covered further by this tutorial. Beneath this menu you will find an "envelope". This is your direct link to the messaging system where you can communicate with others, read fleet reports, alliance messages or other reports shared by your friends and allies or generated by the system as you play. It will glow and show a number when there is new mail to be read. Next to the letter symbol you can see the chat symbol where you can find all personal messages from your alliance mates, buddies or even strangers.

Lässt Du Deinen Blick nun weiter über das Interface schweifen, so wird dir am rechten Rand die Planetenleiste auffallen. Dort befindet sich zu Beginn des Spiels zwar lediglich ein einziger Planet, im späteren Spielverlauf kannst Du hier aber bequem zwischen Deinen Kolonien wechseln. Am oberen Bildschirmrand findest Du eine weitere Leiste, welche unter anderem die Einstellungen und Highscore enthält. Analog dazu befinden sich auch am unteren Rand einige Links - hier solltest Du vor allem die Regeln und das Forum beachten.

Da es in OGame kein Spielziel im eigentlichen Sinne gibt, das Spiel also nicht nach dem Erreichen irgendeines Meilensteins beendet ist, befindet man sich im dauerhaften Wettkampf mit den anderen Spielern. Um dabei möglichst weit oben in die Rangliste zu kommen, muss man möglichst viele Rohstoffe sammeln und in seinen Account investieren. Hierzu kann man sie entweder auf den eigenen Planeten abbauen und mit anderen Spielern handeln, oder diese angreifen und ihnen ihre Rohstoffe stehlen. Im nächsten Kapitel beginnen wir damit, indem wir Dir zeigen, wie Du Deine ersten Minen errichtest.

Due to the fact that there is no real end game goal in OGame - which means the game does not end at a specific point by achieving something special - the gamer finds himself in a constant competition with every other gamer playing in the universe, loosing and winning, learning and progressing through ranks. To be successful, you have to gather as many resources as possible and invest them into your account. In order to achieve this goal you can either mine them on your planets, trade with other players or you can assault your competitors and steal their resources, whilst at the same time defend your resources from others. All of this again will be covered in the tutorial, so have no fear, all will become clear.

In the beginning OGame might be a little confusing, for any new player, even if this is not his first online multiplayer game but especially for those who are not use to browser games. But even if OGame is not the first browser game one plays, it is normal for problems and questions to show up, and that a newcomer does not know everything. We want to provide help for both groups in order to make it easier to learn everything about OGame in a pleasant and easy way. In the spirit of the words of Douglas Adams: "DON'T PANIC", all will become clear after reading this tutorial.

We did not create this project as a replacement for the in-game Tutorial, which you may have noticed in the game, but as an addition to it. By working along the game's tutorial you will nonetheless receive the rewards given for various important milestones while building up your Empire. Here, in wiki, you will find the detailed and illustrated information needed in the beginning and, moreover, all the information you may need to be successful in further stages of OGame.

If this is your first browser game, then there are some special features of this type of game you will need to pick up very fast to be able to feel the pleasure of gaming and survive in game.

Like in every other game it is recommended to get an idea of the interface at first. You may feel overwhelmed by the amount of information you are presented with, but you will become accustomed to it very quickly.

Up top, your eyes are immediately drawn to the different resources you possess. Metal, Crystal and Deuterium are necessary for the construction of buildings, ships and conducting research. Generally Energy is used to run the Mines. The fifth resource - Dark Matter - plays a special role and will be introduced later in the chapter Premium features.

Along the left of the page are the main game menus. Behind each one you can find vital information about the state of your empire, and universe you play in. These menus allow you to construct resource buildings, facilities, ships, defense, conduct research, launch missions, communicate with other players, or purchase the premium features. Each of these options will be covered further by this tutorial. Beneath this menu you will find an "envelope". This is your direct link to the messaging system where you can communicate with others, read fleet reports, alliance messages or other reports shared by your friends and allies or generated by the system as you play.

At the very top and at the bottom of your game window one can find another ledge including links to the high-scores, options, support, forum, game rules and other important information. Upon completion of this tutorial It would be wise to check these out.

In the next chapter Basic economy we are going to start by showing you how to build your first mine.
