Yuri Armstrong Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hello, I am a new nation on the blue team looking for a good, strong alliance that can pay me at least 9 mil in startup aid for my nation, protect it as it grows, and put me in a good trade circle. I'm not sure what the average contract is for an alliance member, but I will stay for at least 3 weeks before I decide what to do next. However, I can stay longer if that is what the contract calls for. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Consider this. If you want to go to an alliance that just hands out 9 million to everyone who joins, you'll be expected to help pay for that when your nation gets bigger, and many ppl will take the 9 million and leave the game. Do you really want to do that? As an experienced member of CN, I would encourage you not to go where you will get the most money, but instead go where you will have the most fun.

Caleb279 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I agree with Supercoolyellow. Any alliance that hands that kind of money out is interested in numbers only, not you being a part of the alliance. And as he said, you will have to pay it off someday. If you're looking for some small start up aid, join Asgaard. We offer long term trade circles, an active forum, lots of tech deals (which make you a LOT of money), and stability. 3 weeks is never enough though. If you can't commit to an alliance, don't join.

Yuri Armstrong Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I can go longer than 3 weeks. What's a typical contract that an alliance offers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolfe2015 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Alliances do not offer contracts, you offer yourself as a contributing member and player in part of their community. By joining as a small nation and if given assistance to grow in the effect of money, usually a nation is expected to not abandon that alliance for quite some time or after having repaid the alliance's kindness. You do not join an alliance to better your nation but to help better the alliance. While this may defeat your independent ideals from the former thread you posted, it is how alliances survive by not having an individualistic approach to each nation, but for each player to collectively look to improve together. If you think this is something you're able to do, feel free to PM me on these forums and we can talk further, but I'd much rather you understand that and most other alliances would as well.

Moufassa Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 If you want an alliance to give you the most fun out of this game, I would choose IAA. I joined myself just over a week ago. I've always known the guys there and since even before I joined I could say that they are one of the best alliances in this game. Definitely one of the most classy, and fun. We care about [u]you[/u] in IAA. Most other alliance [i]say[/i] that, but in IAA that is what we live by. We will give you much aid, and your nation will flourish. When you join, you will not want to leave, trust me. If you use IRC we are on #IAA on irc.coldfront.net To apply go to http://forums.theimperialassault.com/ Trust me, you wouldn't regret it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moufassa Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 And we will put you into the best trade circle for your resources. You don't even have to change colors because we're a blue team alliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romulus Ceasar Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 No one is going to hand you free money. You earn it through membership, loyalty through a wartime, and through paying tech. As a new nation, don't look for start up aid, look for tech deals and an active community. Tech deals are a great way to earn money for a start up nation, I mean with my full aid slots from beginning until now, I will be at 2,999 infrastructure in 15 days. You need an active community because even if you aren't that active on their forums, you need advice, help diplomatically, and help if someone declares war on your nation. Out of this list, I would tell you to go to IAA or Asgaard. OR..........you could be in a newer alliance that is just off the ground and we are already flying in the sky. You could stop by Honour, we are literally in need of a new nation. I am almost to the point where I will be buying tech not selling it and I am the lowest nation we have. Stop by our forums at: http://z7.invisionfree.com/CN_Honour/index.php? and apply. We will expect you to sell us tech (if you have a harbor you can make about 5-6 million dollars in profit each time) but we may throw a few deals at you that will grant you a little extra on the side every now and then for loyalty. Stop by some time, you won't regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
