User blog comment:Surferdude1219/Thinking of joining the wiki... What do I need to know?/@comment-24828675-20141021112930

Let me just give you a guide.

1. Yes, it is NEVER too late to join

2. A very important aspect in your turn is improving military or economy, as both are important for the algorithm(more about the algo later). You also want to create your turn based on the mod events, event which are created by the mods. For example, a mod event is: France is struck by the bird flu. France: We begin working for a cure to the bird flu. You can also create alliances and declare war

3. Simple, you state who you declare war on, and what your motive is. (I.E. Germany declares war on France to reconquer Alsace-Lorraine). However, do notice that you must remain plausible. For example, in 1914, it's implausible for UK to attack France, as they are allies. However, it is plausible for France to attack Germany, as they are historical enemies.

4. Once war is declared it is calculated by the algorithm. The algorithm sums up the scores of that nation, and the one with the highest total wins. You'll get used to it, and eventually you might even be able to make one.

I hope this helps
