Which  territories  should you take first?
Start with the ones in the circles. You should do this for several reasons including:

The circle containing your bunker can not be attacked by anyone. 

The other two circles can only be attacked by marauders (A.I. controlled units). Not by other players. 

You will have the chance to find all (if not most) of the unit types. You will need these to stand a chance against other players. 

These are also the safest location to place buildings, as they can't be taken by enemy players. </li> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0cm6pt;line-height:16.5pt;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0cm6pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:normal;">You do this for several reasons including:
 * <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;text-indent:-18pt;">You will not randomly be placed against friends.

 * <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;text-indent:-18pt;">You can help each other take and defend territories which earns the player assisting energy supplies (equal to that of the territories support increase), these will help you play longer and progress faster.

<span style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Invest in biofarms early

They are fairly expensive but the earlier you get them the more they will earn you. At the start only build them in the circle containing your bunker because they can be expensive to replace.

<span style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Don't build hazmat shelters early
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;">The game matches you with other player based on your support level so increasing this early will increase your chances of getting matched with players stronger than you. I found that power and resources where the limiting factors early on so there is no need to build them to help you take territory’s.

Be careful what you harvest
They objects in a territory contribute to how many resources per day it generates. Toxic waste will reduce the number generated and everything else will increase it. Completely flatten the map and it will generate nothing. As a result it may be wise to restrain yourself and only harvest where you intend to build.
