BEGINNERS GUIDE

Once you signup on this game : DesertOrder.com

You will go for a training session where you will get few ( Panzerkampfwagen II Luchs ( P2 ) ) Tanks through which you have to do the training. First to kill few willys nearby standing and then to kill defense of a base. 

After above step you will get an instant APC on the door which you need to use to get that base conquered and then build factory of concrete to 2 level and then steel factory to 2 level so your resources will grow. And after this factory ( refinery ) work game will instruct you to build more tanks upto 20. 

Once those 20 tanks are ready it will instruct you to kill another base defense and conquer it. 

This is all training session, once you finish it. You will switch on to real game where real humans are playing in an alliance ( Teams )

GAME STARTS FROM HERE

Now you are in real game. Read things properly and try to memorize it so it will help you in playing properly. 

• Your screen have 2 windows one is main window where you are playing while second small window is minimap where you can check your location as Green dots , You allies as blue dots. Your enemies are Brown dots and Red Dots. 
• Your homebases can randomly locate in any part of the map , normally every alliance have majority of time one side landing but if excessive players are playing in same map or on same alliance then it is normal you homebase can lands in any part of the map even in between enemies too.

CONCEPT OF BASES 

You see properly to minimap , you will find dots with H alphabet on it , they are homebases. You cant conquer an homebase so dont waste time on attacking them. Other dots are " Dot with Backslash (/) are airbases " ... " Dot with Vertical line (|) are helibases " ... " Dot without any line ( ) are Tank bases " ... " Naval bases and Train bases are near track and river , you have to judge them with experience " 

CONCEPT OF ALLIANCE

An alliance is a team (Clan) in which many members are playing some may be offline and some online depends on their timezone and playing time. This game is real human strategy game so everyone is human don't expect them bot. There is a chat on your main screen you press enter button and can write your comment on it. An alliance can have set language to use or no language it depends on what they are allowing. So if you are not an english player and writing in other language possible you will not get response as not all are from same country. 

Alliance is having one Leader , and leader only can assign 10 Co-leaders. Leader and co-leader when discuss on chat there text will show as bold. They have certain powers like kicking any members if he is abusing , foul language , or blocking any game thing like Doors of other members base , or blocking bridges. So try not to do such mistakes. Also some alliances prefer GOLD MEMBERS ( Gold members are those who are purchasing gold with their real money and using that to play , like armoring their bases , high resources etc )

Any player can make his own alliance too if his points are above 1000 and his signup is older then 2 weeks. Assigning of new players to that alliance is totally random and based on points as well as a map. If map is old and already developed there is possibility of not getting any single member to that alliance. An alliance have a set criteria if only leader exist in that alliance then system will dissolve that alliance in 12 hours if no other member joined. 

Avoid these things in an alliance to not get kicked :-

• Dont block bridges ( dont park your troops ( military ) on bridges ) better to park them on green land.
• Dont block other's base door with your tanks on it. 
• Dont use foul languages in chat 
• Dont abuse anyone in chat with racist comments or religion or class.
• Dont try to play solo as many alliances dont like such players.
• Dont steal bases killed by other members unless they offer you to take it. 
• Follow leaders instructions and alliance rules. 
• Dont ask others to buy gold for you.
• Resources are not transferable in the game so dont ask others to send you steel or aluminium. 
• Gold is not transferable in the game so dont ask to donate gold.

STARTER GAME GUIDE LINE

Now is the main thing , with the signup you are getting one homebase through which you can make certain tanks to play. Homebases are limited to certain military units and special units too. For example : Willys , P2 tanks , Bonus Lancia can only developed from Homebase. While Aircrafts , Helicopter , Heavy Tanks , Ships , Submarines need special kind of bases which i already mentioned above how they looks like. 

WHAT IS A FLAKS : Flaks are those base defense ( Base guns ) outside a base. When you joined first time game will give you 3-4 tasks to complete so you can get some free resources to develop you homebase for the game. 

1. Make 3 breda :- Breda is a tank specially to kill bases. That you will get in your homebase menu. Homebase menu is available when you hover your mouse near base door.

2. Kill a flak :- Check minimap there you will see if u are on a new map , some DOTS are yellow/light brown in color. They are actually empty bases with a single flak on it. Which can easily get killed by 3 breda.

3. Get a base conquered :- Once you kill that single flak on that yellow dot , make an APC ( Conquest Truck ) from your homebase and move it near your killed base and select Conquest truck and click on that new base door. Once that Conquest truck goes inside that base will get conquered and your username will marked on it with default 2 Base defense. 

4. Make 6 or more than 6 flaks on a base :- Make more base defense on that base hover your mouse on its door a menu will show and there u can see Base Defense. ( Base defense consumes 9 energy points and take Concrete / Steel and Aluminium )

This is all 4 tasks which every new user will get when joining game. Every task will give you some resource free to develop you homebase for game.

CALCULATION OF ENERGY (EP)

From game you are having 1000 free energy points to play. This is really need to memorize as a new player you will definitely face problem if you not understand this energy concept. Memorize it :-

• Every single level upgrade on Concrete refinery (factory) will consume 5 Energy
• Every single level upgrade on Steel refinery (factory) will consume 7 Energy
• Every single level upgrade on Aluminium refinery (factory) will consume 9 Energy
• Every single level upgrade on Fuel refinery (factory) will consume 11 Energy
• Every single flak (Base Defense / Base Gun ) will consume 9 Energy.

More energy need PowerPlant which can purchased from gold. Every single Powerplant will add 100 EP to your account. 

CALCULATION OF MILITARY POINTS (MP)

Military points are assigned  1000 free Military from game when signup. All tanks / Aircrafts / Ships / Train  consume Military Points. Which is mentioned every tank menu above it. 

More Military points need Military Central or Military Office which can purchased from gold. Every single Military Central will add 100 MP to your account and Every single Military Office adds 500 MP to your account.

MISTAKES NEW USERS ARE DOING 

Here i like to mention some of the mistakes which majority of new users are doing or repeating due to lack of knowledge or possible careless nature. 

• Not building sufficient flaks ( basegun ) on bases which they conquered. Due to which they are getting those bases lost by attack from enemies. 
• Not able to conquer a base of enemy due to lack of troops , always try to make full set of breda / lancia or any tank so it woks better than just 1-2 troop.
• Not able to understand gaming calculation due to which they get themself locked in energy crisis. And due to energy crisis their production will stop. 
• Taking bases near edge of maps which are more risky as most of the homebases appear there and continuous attack will come on such bases.
