Just what I read on the wiki but it seems pretty limited

I have been attacking but mostly using PS to maximize my gains. Trouble is i have no idea how to gauge the amount of units to send. I am currently building up on spies but I didn't the first few days so i'm just shooting blind pretty much on every attack and am probably sending way too many. Not a big deal with only a 2 hour downtime but still I feel very inefficient. Anything grab i'm pretty much using only 5-8 turns (attack+ build). Just not too sure what the best use of excess turns would be so that I don't lose any to the cap.

New player here(well returning from Earth but it's been so long I forget pretty much everything).... I think i may have put too many turns into building construction yards. I am up to 100 bpt and am wondering what the most effect use of turns for an communist/indie strategy(i'm not even sure what the turn cap is on the express server). Exploring is down to 15 acres per turn so it seems like a waste now and I have been active selling in the market and using excess cash for food/tech. Is there something that i am missing?

Also I have tried to submit my country for review in the get help link bit i keep getting a you need to create a thread first message. The board itself seems locked so not sure how to accomplish that.
