Here's a crash course in attacking. First things first - DO NOT attack planets less than half your *land* size. Networth difference doesn't matter - but hitting someone below 50% of your size is considered a "bash", and is frowned upon (to say the least).

The first thing you need to do is find a target. An easy way to do this is to research the Scanner - it provides you with a list of all the planets in the land range you specify. I suggest taking the whole range, 1-99999999, just to get the whole game in the scan. You then look through the scan for planets you may be able to attack, either manually or using a scan manager - such as EA's Scan Manager for Mage Realms and Galaxies Ablaze - and when you do find a valid target you go to the Special Operations screen to get information on the planet you want to attack.

The first kind of information you will want, is a Military Status report. To get this, input the number of operatives to send , choose "Spy on Military Activity" and click Send.
Save that Military Status report, for example using Notepad. You will need to input it into the Attack Calculator, a feature in the game that is described below (it is a researched option, when you have not researched it I recommend using the calculator in EA's Scan Manager).




After calculating the number of troops to send, as instructed above, go to the Attack screen, input the numbers from the calculator, choose the planet to attack, choose the attack type, and click Send Attack. You'll know immediately if you succeeded or failed ;)

Now it's time to go back to the Buildings screen and build some more buildings, if you have enough Money ^_^

Or, you can continue on to cover the basics of Special Operations.
