if you are new, here is what i suggest to you
1) read these

they will help greatly
2) when you're ready, get a commander (i'm always available for that role

). they will, or rather should, greatly help you.
3) again, when you're ready, join an alliance. aim for an already established one rather than a new one as they would have more experienced players to learn from
4) NEVER EVER TAKE THE GAME TOO SERIOUSLY. tis a game and i dont want to see another person going around being stupid sayig things like "im gonna come to your house and kill you if you dont give my naq back" after one naq hit. its a game, enjoy it. if you get massed into nothing you can always rebuild.
i should probly say something else but i got a headache
