You wont get killed quickly. If you guys create a clan, my clan will be your ally. The guy who killed you dont normally play.
Basically, if you dont want to get killed, follow retal policies. Everyone goes with a basic, 4 attacks allowed on an empire. Dont hit the same empire every day, spread your hits around. Also if you do play there let me tell you, do not run a mage strat as it sucks right now. Tree of Gold which makes you money will not give you enough gains. You would be better off cashing with an elve then mage.
But anyway you can try it out on beta if you like. You can play as many turns as you want, give yourself land, give yourself gold. So that you can test out different strats if you want. It changes tho if they make changes for the next set.
