Click on "manage", set production to 100% turrets; click on "purchases" then "sell military" then "all" beside "troops" then "sell military"; now click on "build" and beside "Industrial Complexes" enter 5 and click on "construct buildings".
Next sell the turrets you made (as you did when selling the initial 100 troops) and build 4 "construction sites". Sell turrets. Build 6 ICs. Sell turrets. Build 4 csites. Sell turrets. Rinse and repeat.
At some early point build 7-10 farms and watch that you do not run out of bushels. When it looks as though you will run out, build some more farms. That doesn't happen often.
When you have built on all your land spend one turn exploring.
Continue like this til your cash reaches about 300k. Then stop selling turrets.
When you have about 400 - 500 ICs and between 170 - 200 (or more) csites you have completed what is called the start up.
I have not included changing government because that depends on what strategy (ie specialisation) you are going to follow. You need to have a strat in mind before starting out.
Good luck.
