![]() ![]() After I check for landmarks, I check for some of the better sites, like the cosmite spatial rift, or the celestian artifact ![]() If you can get one inside your space, you can get a prebuilt exploitation sector, which provides a large passive income. The first thing I like to look for when annexing a sector is landmarks Most sites > teleport station (+5 energy) colonize on sectors with locations that do not have exploitation bonuses, like the cosmite spatial rift, or the celestian artifact. a few locations provide exploitation bonuses, which you should colonize nearby, but not on top of each colony is limited to 5 sectors, and you can’t annex more than 2 sectors from the center of a colony, which means your colonies can afford to be close to each other. After the 4th or 5th colony I feel more comfortable sending out colonizers with escorts as wasting a colonizer is a massive setback. I tend to build my first few colonies within 2 sectors of my HQ, so that they are easily defendable w/o an escort. (good for early colony growth, at only 280 research) ![]() With that being said, I do like colonizing around the river feature, as it produces +10 food income as soon as Environmental Conditioning is researched. Colonies produce a lot more resources in the late game if their sectors share the same climate, and terrain, but sectors can be transferred between colonies in one turn, which means it is very easy to match those feature up as soon as that starts to be useful. I recommend colonizing as close to as many diamond shaped icons as you can while avoiding the triangle shaped ones, until you have the tech to remove hazards. In this game, it is far more important to look at the large locations icons, which represent landmarks, visiting sites, resource nodes and hazards than the resource icons when trying to pick a location to colonize. Some icons are more important than others. As you look around, you may be tempted to try to send your colonizer to the sectors with the most resource icons on it, which actually provides no benefit to the colony in the current build of the game. My written answers to the questions can be here: What sectors should I send my colonizer too?.In the video I tackle these 4 question that new players may have about colonies: I just posted my Beginner's Guide to Colonies for Age of Wonders: Planetfall on youtube: ![]()
