This means there are many areas you can outsmart your opponents other than gold. But remember that in this game, you are in control of everything from military expansion, economical development, technological research and diplomacy. Gold happens to be replenishable with real money and this undoubtedly gives paying players some benefits.

This in turn boosts your productivity due to lower riots or uprising or just simply by the fact that you essentially bought time. With gold, troop morale could be boosted and your time or clock can be sped up. Gold is also king in this game just like in real life. You need them, otherwise, your buildings or armies will be weaker in terms of efficiency, power & speed due to lower upgrades. Just like in real life, each country is good at producing more of certain resources and the trade or economical development aspect is not to be ignored. This is precisely why planning is important in this game due to how realistic troops move from countries to countries. We are talking about real long term battles that could last for weeks because there can be over 100 players coordinating attacks or defense cooperatively for territorial control (and for more points), and also because each move takes a long time to do and complete. When playing this modern global warfare game, you need to expect long battles. Review of Conflict of Nations: World War 3
