King of Sparta Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 It seems that a lot of alliances try to draw newer nations into their grasp by luring them with large quantities of money. I was wondering which alliance offers the most amount of joining aid? I know that PLUS offers $500,000 to new members and it's been working quite well lately. How much is YOUR alliance offering?

HordeOfDoom Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Most new members (if they stay for a few weeks to prove loyalty) get at least 3 000 000 aid in all the major alliances I've ever heard of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Sparta Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Interesting. Yeah, but I mean this is joining aid. You receive it in like the first two weeks of joining the alliance. That's a little bit different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hound Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 A Million for the MDC. Had a thing where we gave random unaligned marooners about 20K just because, don't know if it's on-going though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieAvenger Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 FEAR gives new nations 1 mill as a joining few i believe, but that could be after a few weeks i dunno, i know Veritas Aequitas (my alliance) gives 50 k straight up to new nations and 200 k after they complete the academy. The CON (my past alliance) gives 200 k when someone completes the academy and 50 k whenever they have 50 posts in the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaR Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Hmm, well from my experience with the NPO we actually didn't get anything . At MFO we generally give weekly aid of $1-2 million. So by three weeks you will have received at least $3million. (Side note: Thus far, all nations that have received our aid and left the alliance have generously returned what is ours, so we haven't yet had to deal with one of those people just in it for the money.) Of course, in addition to that, if you're a newer nation, all of us are hungry for tech deals, so you'll make a ton off that as well. Whereas most people pay $3M for 100 tech, at MFO we like to enrich the tech dealers and pay double that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myalam Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) We give 3,000,000,000,000,000 in one day! EDIT: In fact we give a far more modest 300k. 1m!?! Yikes, your alliance has money to give and then some. Edited October 6, 2007 by Myalam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Sparta Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Haha no, I'm not a new nation. I'm actually saving up for my first wonder now. Just wanted what other alliances we offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CON (my past alliance) gives 200 k when someone completes the academy and 50 k whenever they have 50 posts in the forums. FEAR no longer gives the 1 mil sign on bonus, as we had too many of the wrong kind of people take it and leave, which caused problems. Now we have a different system, by taking two tests, and passing you can earn 1 mil in as little as a day. As your activity increase you get more money, for a grand total of 5.5 million. If your intrested in FEAR, send me a message in CN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Bacia Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 The NADC starter aid is 300k, but then there are many other schemes like the Growth Grant Scheme or the Nation Building Program, sa well as recruitment bonuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myalam Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Who doesn't exactly? I don't know of sustainable (not coming together just to attack someone) alliances existing today which don't either give money or lend money at a low rate. Essentially I was saying that all alliances have 'bribe money', some is just more hidden than other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving money to rebuild after a war or to build a harbor three weeks after their acceptance is not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravnica Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Well, it's not specifically joining aid... but prove yourself to be a good-standing member of ION and you'll get 3 million every once in a while for growth. I'm getting in the habit of throwing fifteen million at the lower-ranked nations every ten days. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmmehhh Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 300k for members who meet the criteria being able to speak Dutch. It's enough for 1000 inhabitants and a harbor, so we can fit the newlings in tradecircles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Sparta Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Sounds all good and well. I like the idea of taking a test and earning a mil in a day. Makes it more difficult for people to take the money and run. At least they have to work for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, here at FEAR we base aid off of a point system, the more active you are the more aid you get, up to 5.5 mil. The two tests that you take in FEAR, give enough points for 1 mil. And if you know about CN, then you can pass them. If your intrested in joining FEAR, send me a ingame message to my nation. Or apply at the FEAR website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
