qbspy, I downloaded it already, thanks! Once the family settles down, I plan on checking it out. I'm completely new to the genre, so I don't even know what to expect. I've played Vendetta, Quintet, and a couple others like that, but ST looks different from all of them - more strategy than arcade, I'm guessing (I'm not a fan of arcade, especially on my Android). I'll find out soon enough! OK, I tried ST4XE. My first impressions are not good. I'm not trying to be difficult, but I am totally and completely confused and lost! This probably should be in the ST4XE forums, but I don't think I will be playing it any time soon and want to continue this forum conversation. First, one of the things I like about every TB games I've tried is, I can take my time to read the text. Many games flash text by too quickly for me. It's not that I can't read fast, but I choose not to. I try to understand every word written and with my 2 year old granddaughter around, or other distractions, I don't want to feel rushed or have to play the intro over and over and over.... I still don't understand the back-story intro and I've watched it three times. I'm not doing it again. So, I ended up in the 36x36 Tutorial (26 Worlds) map. I tried to speed read the intro (detailed above), then found myself in my adviser's screen being told to colonize a world by using colonize training. With no idea or instructions on what to next, I hit Back. Next, I found myself in a Turn Event screen, even more lost. No buttons seem to advance the game, so I hit Back again. Ah, finally, it looked like a play screen, but again, no instructions whatsoever. I tapped a few ships and a sun or two and, I even hit the mysterious Colonize button. Most of those items told me I needed to use colonize training, again, but nothing explained what that is and, the Library (legend) was no help. I shut the app down, cleared its data, and tried again. I thought maybe, something messed up. Nope, no help - same results. I gave up at this point. What gives? Is my game messing up? Is the first Star Trader a prerequisite? Again, I'm completely and totally confused and lost. What am I missing?

Watch the video it will make more sense TrasdMaybe, but I'm old and old-school. I cannot absorb video tutorials. I need print or in-game. I was totally flabbergasted when one of my compilers didn't have written tutorials, but used videos - programming, mind you - I promptly got my money back. I'm too technical. I reference and study; rinse and repeat. Thanks, though. EDITED:My answer applies to you too, fallen. Thanks, I'll pass for now. Maybe later.

Thanks again to all of our Patreons - we just put out a killer Heroes release! Your' support helps us make and update games! And yes, sorry, I wasn't trying to hijack or bring down the thread! I will still purchase one or more other TB games (in addition to the ones I already own) and or donate! BTW, is there a single donation system in place somewhere?
