Want to support the channel? Feel free to buy me a coffee and help me make more videos! https://linktr.ee/AOReaper Happy fourth of July! The first video in our new format, turns out the advanced editing is much more difficult, but hopefully leads to much more enjoyable videos, and easier to take in bite-size chunks with the new 15 minute timeframe. These are new, simplified guides, designed for brand new players (or relatively new) to be able to leap into a game, and have a few on hand strategies to get a "feel" for the nation. Enjoy, and the advanced guides later to come will go into all sorts of deeper detail.
