[2 Nations required for a 3BR Yellow Team Trade Circle]

I have the cash on hand to swap out a factory for a harbor and the ability to change resources.  Happy to join.

Problem is retention. We need new types of alliances.. if we recruited I'd probably promise people nukes in 100 days or whatever the math works out to.. I'd probably have to make a new guide.

Actually this is a good idea, someone use it and start a terrorist themed alliance. Is that wampler/wappas or whatever his name was guy still around?

 

Regarding Nukes in 100 days, I think this is the real crux of the matter.

 

You need a group of nations who can pump out aid and arrange trade circles while dealing with the thankless issues surrounding retention (dumping money on people just to see them go inactive) and general frustration of hand holding people through back collects, etc (only to see them go inactive and delete).

 

Not to mention concerns over those own nations losing strategic ground because they're sending lots of money down and not getting tech up.  Mass recruiting was much more prevalent back when it look less time to get a killing machine up and running, so GOONS 1.0 was welcomed and aided (and Fark was held down to prevent The League from doing the same with their invasion).  Now people would just look at one thousand new nations and go "Urgh the time sink....".
