I agree with Apuuli - this game is unplayable. Alliances are too big and new players get destroyed too easily. Its impossible to try and get a solid alliance built since there is no communication possible outside of the alliance. So you can't get to know others on the server or let them know you want them in your alliance. There is no way for smaller alliances to try and team against the dominant one. Plus everything costs crazy titanium. And then when you get wiped - costs a lot more titanium to rebuild. Unless you want to be a click-monkey you have to spend titanium to even produce resources. Seriously, I tend to do well in games like this, but this one is just not playable unless you become part of the very large alliance and they only want you if you are prepared to spend crazy amounts of cash buying titanium. STAY AWAY.
