I have the same concern as Ryan0588 so I hope you don't mind if I send a response to your topic instead of creating a new one. It is my first day and I all got is PMs that tell me about alliances which will find me tech deals, protect me, guide me and give me free aids etc. So my question. If all alliances offer the same stuff, what does make an alliance different? I can just think about "the people" in the alliance can make a difference but unfortunately I have no chance of knowing if they are super kind or super hostile etc. just looking at their PMs. So how can I find the one that suits me more? I am really so confused

First day in CN! I have been reading lots of stuff today about the game and trying to learn what's going on, at the same time receiving endless messages about alliance which made me more confused lol. Anyway, I basically understand you sell tech to stronger nations in which both of you benefit. I also understand you can receive the money but you can send the tech 10 days later. My questions are 1- Can you do this buy 50-100 tech and sell them to stronger nations endlessly until you make good enough money to start having some tech for your own? 2- Which of this is more profitable? a- Buy 50 tech and sell it and then buy 50 tech and sell and so on just because it may be more expensive between 50-100 tech. (I guess it is the way cost of tech increases right?) b- Buy 100 tech and sell and then buy 100 tech etc. Optional question: Do you think one alliance can be superior than the other, especially considering the top 10-20 alliances? Seems to me that all of them have experienced players, aids, deals etc. so what can the criteria to choose one? Thanks in advance
