Okay, gonna stop hi-jacking Aekiels thread now XD
Basically, CN is a game where you build your own country - manage the government, national religion, it's trade affairs, build infrastructure and research technology.
If you only had 15 minutes a day to play, you could pull it off easily, but more often then not it sucks you in and you end up going on it as often as DLP (<_<: :>_>). It's pretty addicting for an otherwise simple game.
Anyway - game link (http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=58235).
I started a clan for DLP called the Global Order of Darkness - you can sign up here (http://god.demonsdesire.org/index.php?showtopic=13). It's been going for a year and we're kicking some ass - people with twice our member count can't match our collective strength. :D
Side-Note: For those who're just registering, we're a Maroon Team alliance.

It's real fun, and when wars roll around it's addicting like hell.
Which reminds me. We need another war soon, no? (All this building and waiting is boring)

Hrm...i've been playing that idly for a while now. Haven't joined an alliance yet mainly out of spite for all the dirty recruitment crap I keep getting.
Maybe I should join one though, just to stop all these fuckers who start wars with me randomly.

Can't make a Theocracian government. Sucks.
It reminds me a little of a cyber nation game I used to play (a lot) though it's a french one: www.kraland.org. Haven't seen any better CN game since.
Edit: How do you join the DLP/God alliance or whatever? :p

The more infra you have the more pop you get and ,subsequently, more money.
Additional money will be provided by tech deals and alliance aid.
Don't collect taxes until you fix up your trades.
And last, but not least, get on IRC, any questions you might have would be answered there. And don't forget to register/apply on our forums and switch your alliance affiliation to "Global Order of Darkness"

I linked the sign-up topic in the first post, you'll need to fill out a small form there and then I can hook you up.
You'll get overloaded with invites mainly because everyone is looking for members these days and no one knows how to recruit - so they resort to spam bullshit.

My CyberNation (http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=165683)
I'm a member of GOD, not that I really get a chance to do much to help out. I'm actually wondering about the size of my army. Should I build it up as much as possible or should I continue working on infra and such? I'm at 278 tech and 1200 infra, but I keep my military down at around 4000 and I've never gotten into any sort of war before.
Oh, and just a question, what does this number in parenthesis mean in relation to my soldier count? 3,884 (5,360) Soldiers. Is the left one my number of soldiers and, if so, why the bloody hell is my right at 5360?
It's your effective soldier count, Kolsk. They used to only have one value, but now they give you the value without modifiers and the effective in parenthesis.
Also. Xiph, I know it's your prerogative and all, but . . . maybe you shouldn't link confidential government documents outside of GOD . . . XD

The way it is set up, you can't view them without having been masked by a member of our Government. And having logged into your account. I could give you a link to my uber-secret, exceptionally horrid, no-good, very dirty, mountain of porn but as long as it is contained in the GOD members only section, you wouldn't be able to see it. Without meeting the above mention requirements, of course.

Yes, you have every right to attack back, however I also need the total amount of infrastructure and tech you lost.
Don't collect at least for 5 days, the economic effects of anarchy will last that long, and I'll have his alliance pay what they owe you for what you lost.
Don't delete the messages either, we may need proof.

Aye, but after the anarchy the effects last for 2 more days - it's a trick of the game.
If they offer peace accept it, if they attack after update, hit back and wait for their peace offers.
As soon as you send me the battle reports of them attacking you I can get you paid back.

Decom your Barracks, buy a Harbor. Then buy Factories.
Also, work on your trades more.
Edit: Also, keep buying infra, of course.
If you have trouble coming up with funds for Harbour and Factories,don't be afraid to ask. Go to GOD's forum >>>> Gringotts >post what you need. Also if you're doing tech deals,don't go above 50.

The nation building guide is ok over all but it doesn't really prioritize which trade over the others. I have alumin and coal as my basics, and i'm pretty sure i have at least 1 spot to trade with anyone who has something worth trading for.
Anyone with one or both of the following, send me a trade agreement if you have an open slot:
Spices
Wheat
Lumber
Water
Marble
Decommed my tanks and cruises, the only reason I had them was because I just felt like it. The tanks I was hoping there was some defensive bonus, but a message i got from someone told me to be on my gaurd so I kept those. Then after a few days I kind of forgot I had them.
Other then that i'm waiting for yes/nos on trades, but with any luck i'll finish up all the trades it advices me in the guide.

Trading sucks ass no matter what sphere you're in. Every team has the same percentage of complete fuckwits who can't grasp simple concepts like "I give you money, you click 'accept'" and "DROPPING MY CATTLE/FISH FOR GOLD/LEAD JUST BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU MORE PRETTY ICONS IS NOT A REAL STRATEGY RAAAAAAGE"
