Isn't it wonderful?

As an aside, watch out for this guy: Deus_ex_Machina.

He has 500-odd special defenders. I got my ass handed to me on a silver platter.

There's another thing I noticed. If you click on "Upgrade Account" you can get quite a few special bonuses for a "small fee."

. . . .

How the hell can we compete with those kinds bonuses. It would take me MONTHS to make what someone can buy once a week. Normally, I'd donate some money to a game if I like it, but this feels like cheating.

I think it has something to do with your spy score. Increase your spy score and you'll be able to see more.

Either the idea was stolen from the guy who made SGW or it's the same guy, either way, to answer a few questions I've seen:

1)You see ????? on a number on someone when their covert is better than yours. Not sure what TMW calls it as I don't play.
2) The bonuses that you get may seem large now, but later down the road, it will seem petty. Almost all games do that just to make people buy early.

You need to save money by using the bunker option at the side. You also should never log off with lots of money stashed as it makes you a target.

Hint: when attacking, the "Again!" button doesn't work, so instead refresh the page; that is effectively attacking twice. I'm finding I can attack three or four times in a row and still make enough money on the last time to repair my (admittedly large) army.
