So I just made my nation. Great. Kinashia is a wonderful place with 2294 population per mile, which is apparently just a bit too crowded, and I have rioters about already. It's just glorious.
I also have about half a dozen options available, none of which I know what to do with. Should I get a lot of technology? It seems like I could get a lot more done with machinery than sticks and stones. But at the same time, I need a police force, so should I set up at least a small military? People need homes, so shouldn't I get some infrastructure? But I can't just build straight up, so I need land, right? But how much is all this gonna cost me? TOO MANY CHOICES! AGH! And what's a tech deal? How am I supposed to get a few million dollars for tech to sell when all I have right now is 50k, and my tax collection was pathetic (About $200)? Why can't I trade with my sister?
So I come to you in hopes of learning the ropes. And hopefully answering some basic questions along the way so another thread like this doesn't need to show up. Plenty of these threads have probably already appeared, I'd bet, and the answers I want probably are here somewhere, but I'm just not looking hard enough.
P.S. I've already learned a thing or two from my sister, as mentioned earlier, and I have chosen resources that I believe will help me grow faster when I actually start trying to. But I still have questions she can't answer.
TL;DR: Woe is me, too many choices, help.
1. I think I can do that. 2. If you want tech and I can get it for you, I wouldn't mind setting up a deal as long as it's fair for both of us. 3. I knew I was onto something with the small military thing. I just didn't know how many soldiers I should get. 4. I'd assume I should do that AFTER getting infrastructure so I get enough land. 5. x9.99? What? 6. I had a trade in mind with my sister, but I can't trade with her. Is that what you mean? Just find people to trade with? 7. OK.
