Just to bring you all up to speed: I quit my job to build this game over the past year. We launched a couple of weeks ago, I've gotten a lot of feedback and I'm going to be putting in some material this week to ease new players in to the game.
I won't lie to you, it seems like there's a lot to do at first, but don't worry about that just start small, say hello to your neighbors.
Check this thread out for a little guide to your first play session (after the tutorial): http://rasteroid.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=n00b&action=display&thread=558
I'm getting wise to this marketing game, so here are some PA-exclusive gift codes to get the ball rolling.
The special currency of Battle Mines is called simply Gold, here I'm including 5 codes for 10 Gold and 5 more for 5 Gold. 10 Gold (~$10 value) is enough to give you the "full" game experience. It will buy you two things:
1. Autoharvest (cost: 5 Gold), which allows you to automate building harvests while you are away.
2. Terraforming (cost: 5 Gold), which lets you change the composition of your land and unlocks the upper tech tree.
If you get a 5 Gold code, you will have to pick which one you want (unless you can throw in a few bucks; you also get a little free Gold at the start). If you want terraforming, be sure to save your Gold until you can advance up the tech tree a little ways.

To use your code, first create an account at http://battlemines.com
Then go to the Account page and enter the code.
Only one code in this batch will work per user. Please don't create multiple accounts.
If you use a code, please mention it in this thread, and later on it would be great if you returned to post feedback!
Thank you!
I had swore off online empire games a few months back, after finding myself becoming obsessive with checking my cities for incoming attacks and such. But this game seems to have instant resolution regarding such things (according to a review from one of the game's main art dudes, anyway), so hopefully I'll show a bit more restraint this time around.
It's all about using strategy to get from where you are to where you want to be. Please let me know what you think, thanks Dizzen!

Also, the Battle Mines soundscape has had a complete overhaul! Welcoming the talents of Marcus Zuhr, Brent Silk, and Jacob Burgess in music, sound effects, and voice acting respectively.
Log in to listen!
- The Quest system, 30 plot points over 3 chapters, rewards for chapter completion and a good way for n00bs to learn the game.
- A new mini-game, the Wheel of Adventure, joins Spy Hunt as a way to spend accumulated juice.
- The renovated policy page has information on government and industry, as well as a chatter area for your advisers, who will give you advice on demand.
- Animations for active production buildings, with more going in this week.
Lots more to come soon including a new tech screen, and a complete overhaul of the website.

"Those that decide to take the leap into the world of Battle Mines will find it to be both an addictive one - I have it running in my browser as I write this now - and also a rewarding one."
Davidlee Jolley - Indie Game Magazine

"The Free-to-Play price tag and different take on an established genre make this definitely worth a look. The elaborate tech and resource system will keep you going for a long extended period of time and the laughs will keep it fresh."
Pieter Troffaes - Indie Love

"This game is multifaceted and deeply interesting with mechanics unlike any game I've come across before. The player can play the game any way they choose and always be presented with challenge and fun."
