Howdy folks. Some of you may be familiar with this game, some may not be. But I've gone and created a Vast Empire nation for World of War, and need at least three more states to join.

The game is completely free. The basic idea is that you have a state and can build stuff and wage war with other states. Several states can ban together to create nations, which have advantages with armies and technologies.

For those interested, the URL is www.world-of-war.com, the nation is Vast Empire (VE), and the password is "ve".

Thanks, and I hope to see you in the game!

Okay, when I first posted this, I had no idea that the round was ending yesterday. My bad. I plan to restart for the next set, which should begin in a couple days or so. Does anyone else want to join a VE nation? I need at least three other peope (nations have all sorts of privileges that states can't do, but you need at least four member states in the nation).

Alrighty! Sing-ups for the new reset have started, and turns will begin being distributed tomorrow. Get the drop on everyone else, by signing-up now so you get the maximum possible number of turns!

The VE nation is again "Vast Empire," tag [VE], password "ve". I need at least three other people!!

Yeah. The first thing you'll see is probably the list of nations actively recruiting. If you see the links above that list, there should be one "search for nations to join" or something to that effect. Find the VE, and after clicking somewhere around there it should prompt you for the password. Once entered, you should be home free!

Alllllllllllrighty then, "Chipmunk's Tips and Tricks for WoW, 101."

My begining advice is that when you first start, don't use more than 199 turns. As soon as you take that 200th turn, you can be attacked, but up to 199 you are in "protection" status. The number of turns you have taken can be monitored on your state overview.

Don't come out of protection until after you have saved up a bunch of turns. There is a limit to how much you can store: 300 regular turns and 100 "saved" turns. "Saved" turns work on a time-delay. Once you start using your 300 regular, the saved are added in once every ten minutes with your regular turn-refreshing (basically, if you have saved turns, every ten minutes you will get 2 regular instead of 1).

Second, be sure to check the "Bonus Turns" link in the "General" menu. It's sort of like our pay-per-click; follow the list of links and you get several extra turns to play with.

The GDN and TDN cost quite little in comparison to the costs of being land-grabbed. Be sure to join up as soon as you leave protection status. These will protect you from being landgrabbed by states twice your networth (or sabotaged by states half your networth).

When it comes to building, it's more efficient to specialize in one area. The more you have of one type, the more each of that type produces (10 farms might make 10 food, but 100 farms might make 1000 food). So, build all farms and sell your surplus food, or build all industrial sites and sell your surplus troops. My personal favorite is the casher strategy; I build a bunch of commercial and residential zones.

You can also upgrade your troop types. This is under the "War" menu. Upgrading increases the networth of each unit, as well as making them more effective. Be aware that the more of a unit you have, the more it costs to upgrade. My advice is to upgrade one type to a really high level before you buy any of it. Once you upgrade it a bunch, shift all your production to that one type until you upgrade the others. Remember that specialization is the key to efficiency.

Any more questions, all you need to do is ask.

Oh, almost forgot. Orakai, I gave you overview permissions, so you can take a look at my state and see how I do things. Might help you get a better idea of what's described above. Just go to the "Nation" menu and click "Member States."

Take Care,
Chip

Oops, sorry, I've already started & wasted all but 41 turns. I've used 207 turns :S. Don't blame me, it's my first time and I didn't even see your post even after I had finished.

By the way, how do you save turns? Or are they just turns you don't use?

Can you see my overview? You should take a look at it and survey the mistakes I made.

Ah, that's alright. We're both among the first people to join, so maybe there won't be many folks around to attack yet. I'd go ahead and join the GDN, though.

The saved turns are automatic. As soon as you earn 300 regular turns, they start to build as saved turns.

Infantry is generally the cheapest to upgrade; I'd recommend that you sell all your infantry units, then upgrade them to 8. That done, you can shift infantry production to 100% until some other units are upgraded (the more units you have of a type, the more it costs to upgrad that type).

Most importantly: have fun!

The blackmarket has set prices, run by WoW. The public market is where you can sell or buy from other players. When selling on the public, you can also set your own prices (within a set range).

The public market is generally better. The black market jacks the prices way up high when you're buying, and way low when you're selling. When you sell on the public market and set your own price, lowering it will make your goods sell faster, though you'll make less money. The black market's advantage is that it never runs out of goods, and buys your stuff immediately.

Chipmunk, I'm trying to save turns to get to 300, but I keep getting attacked and defeated. I need to use turns to boost my men count. What would you suggest?

Well, saving turns is usually best for when you're still in protection, and are getting ready to take your 200th turn. Once out of protection, I wouldn't worry about saving turns (the exception to this is during wartime, but that's probably not something we need to worry about for quite a while).

Oh, I almost forgot. If you landgrab someone, do not attack more than 2 times in a 48-hour period. It's an etiquitte thing, and many nations violently retal people for that sort of thing. Just a heads up.
