Its a multiple choice question really,,defend or attack ??
To start off get as many workers going to get those resorces coming in..your safe from attack untill you reach 150 points.
You need a minimum of 1000 attackers to go to war...
but i wouldnt worry about purchacing soldiers untill you hit at least 120 points..your going to need all your gold and goodies to upgrade your fort,spy level and farms etc... if any1 needs a little extra,,,i can send it to you via the depot station,(needs only 1 upgrade) and you must be in realm 1 !!!
tell me your army name and province...locals we can chat over the phone and ill take you through it...very easy
