Hello, I've been paying CN for about 9 months now (4 months with my new nation) and I still am not sure about somethings. Some are *shamefully* newbie questions:

1) How does the entire donation thing work? From what I understand its more profitable to buy it from somebody else and I can't seem to grasp the concept.

2) I know about infra jumps, but I'm at 3,229.99 infrastructure and it seems I'm only profiting 600k after bills. Is that low?

3) Are boarder walls worth buying?
and

4) I don't want to hear an infra level, but how long where you playing the game before you got your first wonder?

1. There's a donation button on your profile page. When you get it, you pay others 12-18mil for it. Middle men if they want it fast

2)3229.99 infra and only getting 600k is very low. i normally collect 2mil w/ labor camps after bills

3)border walls are worth more than a 1happiness improvement and less than a 2 happiness improvement in most circumstances

4) about 3 months on this nation. 6 on my last

Get Labor Camps, it will drastically decrease your bills and increase your profit proportionally. If you don't know how to Improvement swap, ask someone in your alliance.

The usefulness of Border Walls depends on your nation's set up and they usually give diminishing returns. In some instances, having too many or even any Border Walls may be detrimental to your nation. If you don't have access to a calculator program that can run it for you, it's generally easiest to buy Border Walls one at a time and see how it impacts your Collection amount. As soon as your collection goes down, you know you've bought one too many.

what the hell was going through your mind when you bought the stock market...

30 mil when your that low benefits you more if you spend it on infra and improvements, other than buying a stock market.


1. already answered

2. Holy crap... You must have bad trades/improvements

3. At your size borderwalls are not worth buying neither for swapping.

4. Don't buy a wonder until it benefits you more than infrastructure would.



EDIT: Yeah its obviously your trades. Ask your alliance (NpO) to get you in a Super 3 trade set you have the perfect trades for it.
