  2. Take the time to find the right Alliance. One with the group you get along with and you communicate well with. Don’t worry about joining early on. You have time.
  3. However, if you do wish to join one “Training Alliances” are a good way to begin. A TA is designed to help you get up to speed and expects that you will move on when you are ready.

  6. In all cases, always come to your alliance for help with res. Requesting basic res in GC when you are a member of an alliance is considered poor form by many.
  7. Never let your food production go negative. If you hit 0 you will regret it. I did.
