Background story

According to the OGame story, in the year 2250, man began to colonize other planets in the Universe after the invention of \"impulse drives,\" engines that achieve light speed. The increases in scientific technology helped man achieve a new era of pax. The peace ended, though, when a rare element, \"Xentronium\", was discovered, described as having \"the power of 10,000 terran suns per microgram\". The desire for this element caused strife between the human organizations, and war ensued. The war ultimately ended when an \"omega bomb,\" the future equivalent of a nuclear weapon, was used, wiping out much of what had been built. The game is supposed to take place after these events, trying to rebuild man's lost interstellar civilization.

Gameplay

Alliances

An alliance (Technocracy) is a group of people who have banded together, like a guild or clan. Alliances are mostly used for solidarity purposes. Currently, as most of the universe are under OGame version 0.74c, alliances can do little tactically; however, an ACS (Alliance Combat System), a system allowing an alliance's members to station their fleets at another member's planet, has been added to the English OGame in universe 5 and from universe 18 and beyond. The ACS system has been also added to some universes in the Dutch, Polish and Portuguese versions of OGame and to most universes in the German server. It has also been added to the 8th universe of the Russian version of OGame.

Alliances often protect each other from attacks and promote free trade amongst members. An alliance page in OGame is divided into several parts:

Rank: Your rank or status within the alliance set by the founder of the alliance.; Members: The number of people in the alliance.; External text appears to everybody who visits the alliance page, member or not. It is typically used for general announcements.; Internal text only appears to members of the alliance. Announcements of a more discretionary nature usually go here.; Alliance homepage, if any, is the link to that particular alliance's homepage, most use

Points

Points are used, for the most part, to rank players, which factors into the ranking of alliances. One point is awarded for every thousand resource units you spend; likewise one point is taken away for every thousand resource units you lose. Primarily, points are gained from building ships, defenses and mines, and researches, but they are lost from having ships and defenses destroyed and surrendering colonies. There is a ranking system, which is the main reason OGame is so competitive. Only the top 1500 players (in points) are displayed. But it is also possible to see the Top 1500 ranked players respective to Fleet points and Research point, which is simply the number of ships and the number of tech levels researched.
