Don't lose hope lissms
Zorg was only the 2nd browser game I started playing, and quickly became the only one after a week of play. But as soon as I hit 10k points I had a rather rude awakening, yet there was light at the end of the tunnel because I pushed through the hardship and the learning curve.
I soon learned that an incoming attack was no big deal, and looked at it as more of an opportunity to learn what I did wrong, because put it this way; 90% of the time if you are being attacked, you are doing something wrong. It sounds like this thread is helping you out, and I also logged in to read some advice on the forums when I first started(and sometimes even now ssshhhhhh).
Good luck, hope you stick around a little longer to see what I'm talking about!
