I can honestly say I didn't expect a browser game about nation building to be this fun, but it has exceeded my expectations. Without the Black Knights, I would have one small city and have nowhere close to as far as I've come in as little at 4.5 days. The alliance government is awesome and I had top members take interest in me as early as my application to join. The school helps you learn the game and they have a forum post about everything you could think of for a new nation. The financial benefits are wonderful and I couldn't think joining any other alliance would be as fulfilling as joining the Black Knights.
