Thanks for your interest.
Well, I would like an alliance that is willing to teach. I don't just want to join some alliance because of some number of millions of dollars or whatever.
I want a group of people that are fun, not arrogant about the game, and willing to teach me how to play wisely and strategically.
I've played many other turn-based online games, so I feel I have quite a lot of experience when it comes down to political strategy.
