    Two cartel questions:

    1. Should we allow outside members to join the cartel. askari wanted to recruit a guy.

    2. Kam was attacked by a guy in "The Dark Soldiers" cartel. They took about $50k. Should we attack back, and possibly go to war over this. They're about the same size and strength as we are, probably a little weaker. And if we're going to take advantage of the fighting aspects of this game, this is exactly the type of group that we should go after.

    When you log-on and go to the message section or profile there's a little notification at the top that says you've been attacked.

    Well that's why you have allies. Build up some infantry so you can defend yourself against another attack. We got guys that have the resources to mix it up a bit. If we do attack, all the members strong or not will do what they can.

    Let's all rob and destroy rushgeneral.

    He's got money sitting there like crazy, which is why I've been taking it...but now I'm getting scared, cuz he had missile defense. So I say we rob him and take all of his buildings before he missiles my resort or something crazy like that...or should I just take him on myself? I can missile his missile place first I guess.

    That's funny, this guy tried to join our cartel this morning. Must be the beatdown that you've been delivering. But I'm not really interested in ganging up on him. If you want to do it, then fine, but the whole team piling on would be too much IMO.

    As for his missile defense, I wouldn't worry that much. Missiles aren't that effective in my mind. They're an annoyance to be sure, with the embargo, but it's not going to stop a guy from warmongering. I'd be more worried about how many Black Hawks he's got hiding in his helipad.

    You can also try stealing his oil. Guys that have refineries leave an enormous amount of oil in their storage containers. Every time you wipe out their oil buildup, it takes 3-4 turns to build it back up again.

    I talked to the potential outside member to join our cartel. I don't think he'll be joining us. Thanks for throwing it out there.

    Kam's getting hit quite a bit. Definitely stock up on the infantry for defense.

    And somebody else is working on nukes. I've got quite a bit of fire power to coordinate an invasion with ground troops and choppers.

    Uprising, it's not a big deal. He just sent some spies at you. Probably just wanted to know if you had cash piling up, since you don't have any defense and people could easily steal from you.

    Alright guys, need some advice. I have 4 lvl 2 oil pumps, 2 lvl 2 distribution centers, and 2 tanks. I also have an outpost with 15 militia, should I beef up my defense or get a refinery?

    I would definitely get a refinery first and build up an economy, because that let's you get to bigger and better things. I've a got a transport vehicle, so I can also give you some militia to tide you over. Let me know if you want them.

    I just built a refinery and added 10 more militia. Hopefully that will hold me down for right now.

    Yeah I think adding refineries really beefs up your ecomony. Money starts flowing much, much faster.
