specialize. focus on producing just one good, be it

military by building mainly industrial complexes
technology by building mainly research labs and spending your turns teching
cash by building mainly business and residential zones
food by building mainly farms

then use this good you decided to focus on, and sell it on the public market for cash. then use that cash to keep anything onhand you need because you will have negative production in different areas with different strategies.

generally being at the top in the beginning and the middle of the set isnt a good thing, it means your expenses are probably too high. you really want to "stock" any extra cash you get above $2bill. you do this by buying a good, usually food, and then turning around and placing it on the market at a really high price that you know it wont sell. this is generally done for 2 reasons. first, there are corruption/decay on cash and food so having too much of either onhand and running turns is a bad thing. additionally, having too much "stock" on hand makes you a target for others to grab, as they get a portion of your goods with every attack.

once you get towards the end of the set, and you have a good amount of food on the market, you need to "destock" the timing of this destock is fairly complex and depends on public market prices, the land you have, and the stock you have. but this is how countries jump a rather large amount of networth at the end of he set. on a server like primary they can increase their NW by a factor of 15+ in the final week or so.


this is pretty general description of the game, it is pretty complex. i really suggest you playing a clan server like alliance or free for all and joining a clan. a lot of the larget clans have systems set up to teach new players.

So, I've started off just building construction sites right off the bat. How many buildings per turn should I be creating? Any other tips for starting a new country?

Im sure im missing a few but those alliances are not important

We are a war alliance, if you are looking for similar alliances to us then really SOL is the only one, smaller war alliances would consist of Imag and I guess DANGER

That made me LOL...

SoF, total attacks, all set: 457
SOL, total attacks, all set: 884
iMag, total attacks, all set: 18
DANGER, total attacks, all set: 6

BEHOLD, EE's WAR CLANS!!!! RAWR!!!!!

Does your country have more than 700 acres? If not, please get some more land.
