Overview

News Alerts for approximately the last seven days will appear on the News screen, presented five messages on each page. New alerts received since your last login are highlighted in red, older ones are shown in grey. They cover everything which affects your game, and can be divided into different areas of activity according to the type of information they provide.


Announcements

These come from the admininistration team, and cover news about Astrowars in general, for example new features, server problems, failed logins, warnings about flooding, players reaching the countdown, and so on.

11:47:22 - Nov 21Watch out! AllesRoger achieved 515 Points.

Attack Alerts

These warn of incoming attacks against your planets. If the alert does not show the number of ships in the fleet, this means it only contains Colony Ships, and does not include any war ships or Transports. Note: the number in brackets after the system name is its System ID. This helps you identify the system if it is not visible in your map screen.

3.1 Notification of the arrival time of an attacking fleet
11:47:22 - Nov 21Attention !!! We have evidence of an incoming fleet around that time.
22 Transports
209 Destroyer
84 Battleship
going to attack Rana [1] 1!
We suppose its the Fleet of AllesRoger.

Attack alerts are sent to your account as soon as the enemy fleet is launched, but will only appear on your News screen at the next 15 minute update following transmission, and you must login or refresh the News screen to see them. Note: the time shown is the estimated arrival time, not the time the fleet was launched, and is only accurate to +/-15 minutes.

Battle Updates

These show the results of battles, and come in various forms. The most common ones are given below:

Invitations

You may be invited to join an Alliance, or to make a Trade Agreement. The invitation to join an alliance includes a link which takes you to a list of its current members with their profile details and locations. This list also gives the URL of their forum, if they have one. Note: To join the alliance, you must click the link immediately below the list to accept the invitation. If you decide you do not wish to join, simply leave the page without doing this.

5.1 Invitation to join an alliance

You can confirm here.
Note: You can only join one Alliance each round.
