Step three: Once you've got enough mex (you can never have enough mex, but you can have sufficient mex to meet specific goals), you figure out a way to makes sure your opponent has less mex than you. This can mean securing even more mex, or it can mean destroying opposing mex.

Alternatively, there are guides. Go Manual -> Economy. This will give you more specific information, but is wordier and is more a wiki than a guide. It's useful once you've got the basics down.
