    Looks fun, I'll read up on this first before playing seriously so I don't get rolled right off the bat though.

    How's Cattle/Water?

    and hchan1, AWESOME combo set.


    Thats a bad example Mana, Lead and Gold are crucial to tech buyers, so you had the double whammy so long as you deal with ppl who make money off of selling tech.

    I fucking hate Cattle/Water.

    That's what cool people do >_>

    After you sign up with an alliance the invite bombing stops. Trade requests will keep on coming for a while tho. :)

    Signed up today, been receiving invitations. Blasphemy, I tell you, how could I join anything else than GOD.

    My nation has Gold and Coal? Keep, kill with fire?

    Also how do I go about joining if I am worthy of keeping?

    Ok, so I've apparently joined up with GOD (posted at the forums with application, the bloke said he'd add me)...so now what?

    I'm sorry but I still don't really understand what the alliance does...is it just if I'm under attack I can expect a little help or what?

    I'm sorry, I just don't really get it.

    *the bloke*

    Think of alliances as mafias. Yes, we defend you, and we arm you to a degree. In exchange you go to war with us when the wars come.

    The best thing to do would read this whole section.

    And keep in mind if you couldn't see it before you were accepted, there was a good reason :p Trade secrets are secret.

    I can't get the link to work. Have I not been accepted yet? Is there something else I must do before?

    No rush, just checking.

    Another thing.

    Vash (I'm assuming it's him), sent me a message with talk of aid, and not to do anything about taxes or bills. Is this financial aid? And why not touch the bills and taxes for the 10 days specified.

    I would have asked Vash but posting here is easier.

    I forget sometimes to mask, it doesn't mean you haven't been accepted, just that my mind wandered.

    Just takes a swift kick and I remember.

    1) Yes, it's financial aid.

    2) Don't touch bills because when 12-15,000,000 shows up in your nation, you can easily pay the bills off, buy a load of infra, and then collect a ton of due-free money. :)

    Gems owns, Rubbers is meh. Not the best not the greatest.

    You know, I made a ton of mistakes in my first few days of playing. I stuck with oil/marble and bought a lot of stupid things in dumb ways according to that. Also my trades are good for happiness but useless for everything else.

    Do you think it would be worth it to restart?

    Nah, you can do okay with Oil/Marble, just restructure your trades accordingly.

    Yeah marble is a really good nation builder... -10% to infra cost can't be beat.

    That Dexter in your Avatar Xipho?

    That show is so fucking great

    Don't bills accumulate interest? I understand delaying collecting to abuse the game's (silly) way to caluculate profit, but isn't paying bills the day they're due more efficient?

    I know it's peanuts (maybe 100$ interest tops at this point), but I'm anal like that. :rolleyes:

    What happens if you never pay your bills?
