Changes: Nation teams

Revision as of 00:15, 22 May 2009

Nation Teams (or spheres) are an organizational method used for Trade Agreements. Teams are open to all players. Teams provide nations on the game maps with an identifying color based on the available teams: Red, Green, Brown, Blue, Purple, Orange, Maroon, Pink, Aqua, White, and None (represented by the color Grey).

Teams provide an added dynamic to the game by allowing team members who trade with one another an extra population happiness point, and are similar to real-life free trade areas (nations not belonging to a team do not get bonuses for trading with other nations without a team).

Many alliances attempt to have all members on one team, and large alliances on one team are often said to "control" that sphere. You don't have to belong to an alliance to be in a team. Being a member of a team that is "controlled" by an alliance does not mean that you are a member of that particular alliance. Team forums are maintained here.

Available Teams

The available teams are listed below, along with links to categories containing nations that are of that team, and alliances that are specifically of that team:

Red - Nations - Alliances
Green - Nations - Alliances
Brown - Nations - Alliances
Black - Nations - Alliances
Blue - Nations - Alliances
Purple - Nations - Alliances
Orange - Nations - Alliances
Maroon - Nations - Alliances
Pink - Nations - Alliances
Yellow - Nations - Alliances
White - Nations - Alliances
Aqua - Nations - Alliances
None - Nations - Alliances
- choosing None will give your nation a Grey marker and Grey outline circle on the maps.

Senators

Senate elections give three members of your team the ability to see extra info on members of your own team as well the ability to impose Trade Sanctions. Alliances often try to dominate the Senate seats of their team for this reason, and sanctions have been used as a form of attack during international warfare.

-=== FAQ ===
-'''I was attacked by a nation from my own team, and other nations from my team won't help me.  Aren't they supposed to be my teammates?'''
-*If a team member attacks you chances are most people won't really care (it would be different if it was another member of your [[Alliances|alliance]]).  If you are not in an alliance and need assistance in war you may be able to offer money to other nations near you in rank to assist you.  No one is obligated to assist you from your team, they are not in an sort of agreement. A team member could potentially declare war on you or you on a team member.  If you need assistance against a nation or a group of nations it may be in your best interest to join an alliance.
