You need to save up money to buy better imptovements, dump the gurellia camp asap and save up like 120k and get yourself a nice harbor.

I never built the guerilla camp. It lowers tax income.

I finally signed up a few days ago.

CW, I hope you don't mind me joining the alliance...

My resources are Coal and Gems.

I don't think you're doing much wrong; you have about 1.5x my tech, and about twice my population and infrastructure.

My only suggestion is to not spend all your money; I usually spend no more than 25% of my current surplus in one day, and rarely spend over 30%. Once I reach 100 infrastructure, I intend to cut back to spending only 20% or less in order to build up the cash to buy a Harbor.

Well that's just dandy...

Yesterday I found a country that was not allied with a nation and I attacked to learn the system a little bit. I log in this morning to find I have been attacked for my initial move.

I guess I should have expected that...

I lost nearly 500 soldiers and nearly 20 infrastructure. My nation is under riot. Joy!

The attacking nation has 17 cruise missiles and about 650 soldiers.

Ahh well...its a fun game anyways...

Should I purchase more soldiers? I got 715 working citizens and can can afford lots of soldiers. I Have roughly 7K on hand.

Ouch I would make sure you're next target doesn't have cruise missles unless you do. If you're going offensive I tend to have at least 40% of my population as soliders at least in the begining, others will have suggestions I'm sure.

The person I targeted did not have cruise missiles. He had about half my number of soldiers and nothing else.

The nation that came back to attack me must have been a buddy of his. This nation attacking me is part of an alliance but it consists of only him so far.

I'll purchase more soldiers to defend myself and see how it goes tomorrow.

I had nearly 500 soldiers with only 1000 or so population; so a decent ratio when I attacked.

Sounds like you might have just gotten targeted by someone at random.
