Mega-lo-Mania HINTS & TIPS!!!
1. Pick a starting sector with the best elements for the inventions
you wish to make this time round.
2. Some elements suit certain designs (See ELEMENTARY, my DEAR WASON! box)
3. Note the components and sector of any 'Ergonomically Terrific' designs.
This is probably the best way to design that object and reduces design
time by half. If you see another sector later in the game with the same
elements available you'll know this design can be knocked out in next
to no time.
4. Look out for sectors with a plentiful supply of gatherable elements.
These are often the best places to quickly produce weapons for a
'Surprise attack'!
5. During later stages, expecially in Epoch Three, it's advisable to find
a sector with more sophisticated elements.
6. Eventually you should be able to pick the best seams to mine and know
the ones to leave alone.
7. It's always best to check the design menu whenever a new seam is mined.
A new design may have just become available.
8. What should you do if a seam or element is totally used up when
designing an object? Bin the design on the blueprints menu and there's a
chance you may be able to redesign it with the elements you have left.
Phew!
9. Shields and building weapons can sometimes increase your tech level and
reveal an element which could lead to the designs you require.
10. Incentions made from gatherable elements save valuable time and manpower.
11. Always wait until the clocks have ticked down to zero before changing
the factory to produce a new object.
12. knowledge of the different elements in each sector can help you figure
out what the computer opponents are likely to arm themselves with.
13. Try to keep your men balanced between tasks to maximise efficiency.
Only throw all your men into a single task during an emergency.
14. If time is on your side, try to leave as many men as possible to repro-
duce in the tower. Men are your currency, bank wisely There are no
Overdrafts in MEGA lo MANIA!
15. Designing shields from just gatherables can be a lifesaver if you're
under fire but with some spare time.
16. Play sensibly. Don't send unarmed men to attack buildings as they will
have no effect. Play sneaky. Send one or two lambs to the slaughter
as a tester to see what sort of armies your opponents have hidden away.
17. Use the map to see what your enemies are up to.
18. Remember a building weapon man is twice as strong as an armed man on
the ground from the same area.
19. If an opponent is too close for comfort at the beginning of a game, try
to make him an ally before he starts attacking you.
20. What should you do if your back is against the wall and you're about to
die? Try allying with your agressor! You have nothing left to lose.
21. Use a few men as possible. See how low you can go.

these elements.
TRICKY TEAMSTER TACTICS
Should you trust or trash these people?
SCARLET - Red
Usually a good bet for a quick alliance but prone to infidelity. Tends to
attack frequently and wiht unpredictable armies can be quite easily tempted
into a battle in order to divert her men away from duties at home. Try to
avoid picking a starting sector next to her or she could cause trouble.
She likes designing army weapons.
OBERON - Yellow
Likes to offer himself in alliance more than most and unsurprisingly veers
towards the less reliable side of remaining faithfull. Oberon is prone to
erratic retalition attacts but is a useful ally in battle. Puts his hand
towards any weapon design.
CEASAR - Green
Not so easy to presuade to ally, but worthwhile and fairly reliable. Seems
to have the best balance between defence and attack. Prefers building weapons
you should attempt to limit his territory
MEDCAP - Blue
A real tough cookie to turn into an aly but faithfull as the day is long.
A careful tactician he rarely makes a false move. Hit medcap early to put
him off balance. He likes designing building shields. Tends to throw to
ocassional but devastating attacks.
