Wow guys, big kaboom here! Sorry I did not reply earlier.
But Zywack saved the day! Welcome! Don't you worry, though, there are more noobs in the game (me being one too).
It's all about learning and having fun. You're brave to take over someone else's nation and indeed we hereby install a Non Agression Pact for 5 turns, preventing any hostilities from the players in this game towards your empire for 5 turns. Great idea, parone.
I have received your email. I will sub you for Recon.
