With how much I was enjoying nations at risk before that one went down, I've been thinking of giving this a try, probably on the web browser, but I'm hesitant if this is too much of a pvp fest.

Yes, I know there are alliances to join, but that's not really my cup of tea.

I don't mind a little raiding between friends; albeit I'd much rather fight the environment or npcs, but if this is one of those games where you're going to get constantly attacked   and pillaged, to the point you can't accumulate resources for building your own stuff and can't actually progress much in the game, other than by joining an uber powerful clan and getting embroiled in clan wars, I'd probably give it a miss.

I have seen multiplayer games like this before, ones where the most powerful players just take potshots at newbies the second the protection runs out, or ones where, even if there is opponent scaling, the attacking becomes such a major focus of the game, there's not room for any other aspects such as building or development.

Any thoughts/

@4, I have played the game for a while without an alliance and done fine. Just stay beneath 5 Cities and you should be fine. At that level you'll be the most entertained anyway

Just don't attack anyone in an alliance and you'll be fine.

I have tried this game, but can't build the farm in the tutorial without power, I selected a coal power plant, but still can't build a farm.

yep farms don't require power

@mase3118, Sell what you produce!

People will buy it, especially if you have a coal mine or the like.

At the moment I am still working my way through the objectives. Felt a bit bad about joining an alliance only to ditch them a second later, but it was the only way to go on with the objectives, and It was amusing to name my military high command, general specific, Commander Alt, and Admiral Tee .

I am still getting into the game and not %100 sure about some things yet, EG the guide on youtube suggests basically doing most things by resource trading, which looks like a great way to focus on one resource and produce more, but it seems a little risky say to not have any farms. Also coal can sell quite well on the open market, so if I can produce coal and! power my city, changing over to uranium seems expensive.

I found your suggestion interesting. I will try playing the game when my country's vacation mode is over. I felt a sense of freedom being able to do anything with my own country, even though it was very challenging. However, since I was in an alliance, something went wrong. Whether it was my fault or not, it is a good thing that I am now living by myself.

It's an interesting concept but I found the starting political capital they gave you barely enough to get anything done. But yeah definitely a neat concept.

Does anyone else find the phone apps to be completely unusable?
