Just a friendly alliance spam message.
Being an unaligned nation can be a very tough thing in Tournament Edition. There is no foreign aid in TE and tech is always expensive. So, many nations rely on tech raiding other nations to get it. Namely, YOU. When I first started playing TE as an unaligned nation, I was attacked constantly. Raider nations will watch the war screens to see which unaligned nations have been attacked recently; those will be easier targets, more likely to cave without a fight back. So tech raids can come in waves sometimes. No one likes being sucker-punched like that.
The best way to put your nation in a position to grow and prosper is to join an alliance - preferably one that will have your back when you inevitably do get attacked. My alliance, The Phoenix Federation, does just that. NO ONE gets away with hitting us without retribution. TE is meant for war; we war as well as anyone out there.
Every round we are one of the largest and strongest alliances in the game, and we generally enjoy a host of treatied alliances to back us up if any other alliance attacks us. We have universal respect across all of TE. Besides the numbers, one of the best qualities of TPF is that we treat all of our members kindly, and we are all more than willing to fight for the protection of our members. We will have your back, and then some.
We have a superb nation building program to help you build and grow your nation as strong as it can get, as fast as possible - including 1-1 nation auditing. We also have great forums, many trade possibilities and great people you'd be fighting alongside.
