Welcome
I see you switched your AA, great!
Just want to re-emphasize to not raid/declare wars on nations. We want to help your nation grow and don't want funds being used for wars. You'll have enough information about war so that if/when we do have to go to war you are ready.
FAR IRC is located above to the left of the "Calendar" below our Flag. All you have to do is click it, type a nickname, and it will take you straight to our channel where you can talk LIVE with us.
What we will do is get you tech deals so you can begin to work on your nation development. The first tech deal cash should be used to reach 299 infrastructure, buy a harbor, a foreign ministry, and 50 tech to have ready.
Then also please take time to read the linked guide in the scrolling announcement. If you apply those settings and concepts to your nation, it will grow much faster.
Any questions...be sure to post in the forums and or you can message me directly in game. Forum is better because there are no "character" limits like in game so I can ramble and answer your question in detail.
Welcome, have fun, be active and visit the forum often so we can get you those tech deals.
