Oh, and everyone:
We are allied with RAF to the north. Don't attack them. Don't take anything of theirs. I've been trading information with their two leaders and don't want to compromise that situation, since we're about to get hit by one of the two megateams out there.
We are not allied to POW next to them, however, and they attacked yesterday, but seem to have chilled out a bit since watching us balloon here. RAF and POW are allied to each other, but the RAF leader told me yesterday he would stay out of it if we go to war with POW.
Cliffs:
Don't attack RAF.
Attack POW if you want to, but if you're a newb, don't bother...build your stuff instead. You're a fair way from having the tech to do much at this point unless you pay into the game or slowly build.
