hey bud, I was lucky I had a friend who showed me the site and how to play, sorta, he sucked then, i had to create my own techniques, and strategies, etc.

But basically this is a Turn based game where you want to be as efficient as possible. There is research involved with most games, in which case you will want to master that in games like Empires Express, but in games like World War II, your team will glady help you with research and buildings. Also the OddThought WIKI is a great place to learn about games, it's written by experienced players, and I learned a LOT from it, you can find it here http://www.oddthought.com/wiki/index.php?title=Global_Conflict

Important advice - ASK BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING! Team Talk under strategy will help you with that. it can be annoying to see n00b run wild and fuck things up not only for their team, and themselves, but sometimes the entire game.

So basically, just make friends and ask around. You can get an idea for who is good from the top 50, watching gameplay, and asking aroud, just ask, ask ask, ask, dont be shy, and finally, Welcome to GC

Join then ask questions before you do anything, all games are different but 5 team is the easiest war game to learn.

yeah he's the one that first got me going, havent played it in well over a year though........ and Rev.Alushaun go to the strategy page and post in teamtalk that you are new and you need some help, there are plenty of people in there that are willing to show you the ropes.

first u should prolly build some research labs. probly after that, click on the research tree button, and read all the researches u can get with certain choices. decide whether u would like to do planes, troops, tanks, or spies. after that, decideing on what u will do, make some supply depos, i thnk the rtio is 30 sd/500infantry centers, or 100 sd/500 war factories. i really learnd the game on my own, but would have been very helpful to ask b4 i did, my first round i built all supply depos thinking it would help the team, lol. if u need any help, this is my handle on gc. feel free to message me. if i dont answer im sry, things get lost some times
