Free, premium, war and space (Golden Rainbow)

At the moment, im a free member but wish to expand my empire so am considering becoming a premium member. My question to you is;

Seeing as the maximum countries for a free member is two - what happens to my 3rd and 4th countries if i allow my premium membership to lapse and i revert back to a free member?

Also, whilst im here - how many wars do you have to win before your war level increases? So far, i have won one war against a C3.

And finally, whilst I used to play ages ago some things are rather new here for me such as space. Could someone point me in the direction of a decent guide for space and space trading please?

Many thanks in advance!

Stuart, not 100% sure but I reckon your whole paid account would expire and you would need to start as free from the beginning.

When you dec on your next C3 you'll get the option to go up a war level or fight at the current level.

Dont know of a space guide, unless supersoldierrcp has made one on his wiki pages, he's done quite few and he does a lot of space trading, he might be a good source of info for you.

Thanks for the help Crafty - will look into your suggestions today!

Stuey, you could have also messaged your fedmates. Between Keto, Rick, and myself - you shouldn't be short of any info you may need.

Stuart, Under the Little Upsilon tab, check out the "Space Age Entrepreneur Wanted" topic. There is info there that you may find useful.

I agree with Crafty, don't believe you can revert to a free account.

Besides, once your paying your staying!!

Rick, the issue is that im just not enjoying my stay here as much as i did before. I think the community has gone to pot and that was half the fun of the game!

And Wendy, yeah i know and thanks - but im just trying to do my bit to get the forums more active

Thanks for the help folks!

You're right stuart, the community has gone gone to the pot, probularly ever since the war levels were introduced, or it could be because we have 5 worlds on this game which is far too many for the number of players we currently have on here as we're all too spread out which means we barely keep in contact with each other.

Anyway i'll be staying active on this game for a long time to come yet, so i'll try and keep the forums active too.
