<h3>Improvements</h3>
----
[[File:Starter_Improvement.png|400px|thumb|right|Improvements]]
Improvements are the engines that power and accelerate core world output. As the game progresses, so do the volume and efficiency of planetary improvements. Improvements functionally produce, or multiply by a percentage, the resources that eventually compose the planetary output of any given core world.

The efficiency of improvements increases with their "level," which can be increased in 2 ways:<br>
* Increased by planet-wide level upgrades by improvement categories, which require technological research.
* Adjacency bonuses from other improvements that neighbor the target improvement.

<h3>Districts</h3>
----
[[File:Districts.png|400px|thumb|right|Districts]]
Districts are the generic improvements in the game, and are extremely useful when built adjacent to unique improvements in order to provide bonuses to the level of the unique improvement.

<h3>Orbital Improvements</h3>
----
[[File:Orbital_Improvement.png|500px|thumb|right|Orbital Improvements]]
Every planet that can be colonized has a certain number of orbital improvements slots that can be filled. The number of available slots is dependent on the planet class. Some orbital improvements can be built on core worlds only while others can be built on core worlds and colonies. The ones that can be built on colonies often boost the colony planetary inputs thus increasing the attached core world inputs. Some orbital improvements are civilization unique and can only be built on one core world. Some of these are upgradable into other kinds of unique orbital improvements as well.

Income

<h3>Income & Credits</h3>
[[File:Income.png|250px|thumb|right|Income]]
Credits are a general resource representing hard cash in the Galactic Civilizations universe, and the player can spend Credits to overcome many of the problems they'll face during a typical campaign to rule the galaxy. For this reason, setting up a robust economy to raise a healthy income of Credits will often be a major goal for most Civilizations, and some, such as the Corporate Sector and the Drath, require large amounts of Credits in their treasury to keep the Approval of their Citizens at a safe level.

Most Civilizations main source of Income will come from taxing both their Citizens and the commercial vessels plying the Trade Routes shared with their neighbours.

{| class="wikitable"
!! style="background-color: #1C4D8B; color: white;" | !! style="background-color: #1C4D8B; color: white;" | How Net Monthly Income Works
|-
| 1
| Calculate the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the Civilization:
* A Core World's own Wealth Input score is combined with any attached Colonies Wealth Input to create its final Planetary Input score for Wealth Input.
* This combined Wealth Input score is then added to the Tourism Income for the world.
* This new Income value is then modified by the various Districts and Improvements built on the Core World, by the contributions of the world's Citizens and the Governor leading them, and by any Economic modules on Starbases attached to the Core World. Various Events, Civilization Policies, and Ideological Traits can further modify this value too.
* The Crime percentage is applied as a negative product to Income value, reducing it. The higher the Crime rate, the larger the deduction.
* The GDP is the sum of the Planetary Output Income score of every Core World in the player's Civilization.
|-
| 2
| Add the total Trade Route Income value, a sum of all active Trade Routes set up across the galaxy with the various Civilizations and Minor Races.
|-
| 3
| Add Treaty Revenue, the sum of all Credits coming in from other Civilizations as tribute or as payment made in Diplomatic negotiations.
|-
| 4
| Apply the Tax Rate set by the player in the Civilization Overview Screen. This final value AFTER tax is the Revenue score.
|-
| 5
| Deduct Expenses. Expenses consist of Ship Maintenance, Colony Maintenance, and Starbase Maintenance.
|-
| 6
| Calculate the Net Monthly Income by deducting the Expenses value from the Revenue value.
|}
Credits can come in from many other areas of the game too: as part of a trade deal with other Civilizations in Diplomacy, through Trade Routes established with foreign worlds, through selling Artifacts surveyed by your Flag Ships, as rewards for Quests and the outcomes of various Events and more.

Likewise, the ways to spend Credits are myriad, and particularly in the early game, Credits are incredibly valuable in speeding along the expansion of your Civilization. A wise Civilization will not neglect their Credit economy!

<h3>Game Setup</h3>
----
The following is a step-by-step guide for users' first 10 turns in a normal game that was originally written by our creative director, FrogBoy.

<h3>New Game</h3>
----
First, click the "New Game" button on the main menu.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_1.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Play as The Terrans</h3>
----
Your first game shouldn’t be fancy. Play as the Terran Alliance. These are the humans of Earth. There’s no need to get into too much detail about them but they’re a bipedal race of hairless apes on Sol III. They’re the “easy” civ.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_2.jpg|500px]]

The default civilization characteristics for them are fine. Humans are…well they’re fine. Not great not terrible.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_3.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Map Setup</h3>
----
For the map setup, keep all the defaults but change the number of sectors to singular (that means one) to keep things as simple as we can.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_4.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Opponents</h3>
----
For opponents it doesn’t really matter too much for our purpose here. However, your choice in opponents will affect the game a lot. You have a bunch of tree hugging space alien hippies and have a pretty boring game. Or you can have a bunch of blood thirsty monsters and it’ll be constant war. A hero (that would be you) is only as good as their villains.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_5.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Turn 1</h3>
----
Now that you’re in the game you will get bombarded with a bunch of information. So we’ll try our best to make this as easy as we can.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_6.jpg|500px]]

Let’s start out with your ships. You can LEFT click on them to select. LEFT DOUBLE CLICK on them to get more info on them (Double clicking is your path to many abilities, some considered unnatural).<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_7.jpg|500px]]

RIGHT-clicking will send a ship to a destination.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_8.jpg|500px]]

Your probe has unlimited range. You can set it to auto explore.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_9.jpg|500px]]

This is your flagship. These are often called Survey Ships or Science Vessels (first introduced into GalCiv I back in 2003). They go out and explore strange new things. In GalCiv IV you can’t just build as many of these as you want because the anomalies are now much more powerful. But through tech and other means you will soon have more than you’d ever thought you’d want.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_10.jpg|500px]]

Nearby is Mars. It’s not great. But it’s close. Send your colony ship here.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_11.jpg|500px]]

These are your Executive Orders. Each turn you generate control which helps you make use of these. These let you instantly do something in the world.<BR>

So far so good. You’re doing great!

<h3>Planet Screen</h3>
----
This is where things seem complicated. If we were smarter, which we’re not, we would have a bunch of tabs to make this screen easier to digest. However, once you get used to it, you’ll see why we avoided adding tabs. Having everything here is just so convenient.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_12.jpg|500px]]

The shape of the continental landmasses is vaguely represented as hex regions. Except for Australia. They didn’t send enough bribes to get on here.<BR>

Planets have various inputs. Those inputs then are used by the citizens of the planets who are empowered by the planetary improvements you construct to turn them into outputs that your civilization can use.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_13.jpg|500px]]

Some regions have special bonuses on them. If you put something of the same type onto that region it will level it up which will make it perform better.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_14.jpg|500px]]

So if you drag a Research improvement on to a tile with a +3 research modifier you will see the 3 appear just before you drop it onto that tile. Going up 3 levels in this example results in nearly 9% more research occurring on your planet as a result. You can also see that this structure will give adjacent tiles a +3 to their research level if you place an improvement (or build a district) that is of the same kind.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_15.jpg|500px]]

You will also want to place your capital city. The capital city and later colonial capitals don’t cost anything to build and show up instantly so you don’t have to wait – unless you play as a Ravenous species they don’t get this benefit.<BR>

<h3>Planet Stats</h3>
----
Now let’s look at the planet stats.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_16.jpg|500px]]

Every turn your capital city will generate a culture point. Culture points are used to progress in culture later in the game. Only your home world generates these (in general – sorry Festron).<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_17.jpg|500px]]

Pollution reduces the food output of the planet. You need food for your population to grow.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_18.jpg|500px]]

Crime is generated from a variety of sources. Sometimes you will have actual criminals as citizens and if that’s the case you can either lock them up or send them to Australia er to a colony.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_19.jpg|500px]]

Planetary Defense is how long it will take for an enemy to conquer this planet if they lay siege. Enemy fleets have a conquest rating. That rating determines how much of your planetary defense they’ll destroy each turn. When it reaches 0, the planet is conquered.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_20.jpg|500px]]

Approval is very important. It determines how effective your population is at working. Happy workers are productive workers which is why you should replace them with machines as soon as you can…<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_21.jpg|500px]]

Control is what allows you to use those Executive Orders.<BR>

<h3>Citizens</h3>
----
Citizens are what make a planet thrive. They are the ones who take the inputs (minerals, tech) and turn it into stuff your civilization can use. Your citizens have 4 stats that affect how well they do at these things. Different species have various strengths and weaknesses. Well, not humans. They’re pretty bland and are OK at everything.<BR>

Sometimes citizens will have a trait that can affect their performance. Warforged means they belong to a faction (factions are political parties but we at Stardock were too cowardly to call them political parties so we called them factions).<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_22.jpg|500px]]

You can spend control to train them into a particular profession. This can boost how well they do in a particular area but at the cost of them not doing as much in another area.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_23.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Planets: Getting Them Going</h3>
----
One piece of advice I have is to get your production going as soon as possible.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_24.jpg|500px]]

Production buildings are typically brown in color. Put them on something that will boost them (don’t destroy them like this screenshot implies).<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_25.jpg|500px]]

Then spend money to rush build the building.<BR>

<h3>Planets: Districts</h3>
----
While the specialized planet improvements can be useful, your bread and butter are the easily (and often forgotten) districts. These are repeatable improvements that you can place anywhere you want.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_26.jpg|500px]]

In fact, good and admittedly handsome players will queue up a bunch of districts.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_27.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Making Starships</h3>
----
Double clicking on a shipyard will take you to fancy shipyard screen. You will want to build a Colony Ship right away.<BR>

You will probably want to rush build this if you plan on playing a wide game (i.e. have lots of planets).<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_28.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Your First Colony</h3>
----
When you colonize a world, you will occasionally be given a choice on what you want to do. These choices can have consequences later.<BR>

Mars at this point is just a colony. Colonies provide their outputs to their nearest core world so they are worth getting. Just pay attention to how much they are producing.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_29.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Artifacts</h3>
----
Your flag ship will report back on things it finds and result in you having some choices. In this example, it found an artifact.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_30.jpg|500px]]

You can place the artifact in your vault to access later. I used this one to find a nice shiny planet in another star system…<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_31.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Expanding to Other Star Systems</h3>
----
When it’s time to go to another planet, you will be asked to choose who is being given the honor to go to an alien world. There are a lot of different ways to choose. I typically choose the least happy person who isn’t specialized. Other people have other strategies on this. In this example, I chose a character with high stats because I’m sending them to a planet that will become a core world.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_32.jpg|500px]]

Once I have a high quality planet (the higher its class the better) I can turn it into a core world by assigning a governor to it. Now you can manage this world directly and it will gather resources from nearby colonies.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_33.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Aliens</h3>
----
Eventually you will meet aliens. If neither of you have a Universal Translator (or if they just don’t want to use theirs with you) you will get this.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_34.jpg|500px]]

Researching Universal Translator tech is very important. It unlocks the Galactic Bazaar and gets trade moving.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_35.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Leaders</h3>
----
Leaders are citizens with a special trait (leader) that lets them be used anywhere. Their stats can be used to give your civilization buffs overall if you assignt hem. The stats are color-coded so you can see which stat matters for which job.<BR>

I almost always choose a Minister of Exploration first because it extends my ship range by their Diligence stat.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_36.jpg|500px]]

Leaders have a backstory that can sometimes trigger events later in the game that can have huge (or minor) consequences for the galaxy.<BR>
[[File:Beginner_Guide_37.jpg|500px]]

<h3>Orbitals</h3>
----
The orbitals button on planets lets you choose things to put into the orbit of your planet that provides some general benefit. Different types of planets have different numbers of orbital slots.<BR>
