[DC] Resource Wars & Irish Plan

Day 3,085, 04:46 Published in Ireland South Korea by Don Croata

Hello eIreland,
Resource Wars are coming soon, in case you still haven’t read about them you can read the full explanation by Plato on its forums and latest updates. Many things has changed and will be changed. What effect will those changes have on eIreland? What can we do to adopt the changes and improve our situation? What the Government plans to do? I’ll try to answer most of those questions with this article.





Total change in economy

Plato has decided to change the game finally. After years of being asked to do something about it he did. We’re going to have a new industry after weapons, food and houses. This means a huge change for all aspects of economy. It will change the price of gold, price of weapons and many other things. No one (except eRomanians maybe) don’t know what the new industry is going to be about. I expect it to be something similar to airplanes which would maybe give us a stronger booster in the battles. Probably something like Q8 weapon, but with a completely new resources and production. If you’re strong gold buyer, you will want to produce those weapons because it will make you a lot of profit.

How will Plato distribute the resources? We are going to fight for them. Each country will fight to earn tokens. Those tokens are going to be used to ‘buy’ a resource and place it into one of our regions. In order to win a token we’ll have to win some battles. It requires 30k domination points (needs 1800 to win a round in 1 division) to win token. It means that we’re going to need 30 000 * 6 domination points to get our six tokens we need for production. In one round of one battle you can earn up to 7200 points (if you win a round with 1800-0). This means that those who have more battles and win points as fast as possible will be able to pick their resources first.





Plato has also changed the productivity formula. You can see how the new formula is going to look alike on the table above. Now, there’s quite bad explanation of the productivity. Plato says: “Rare and very rare resources of the same industry cannot be placed within a specific radius from each other.” This quote can be interpreted in different ways. Does it mean that you can’t place very rare and rare resource in the same region? Or it just means that you can’t place two very resources in the same region, or actually close to each other since there can be only one very rare resource in 2000km. It means that if UK place their very rare resource in London, we won’t be able to place one in Dublin.




How are we gonna deal with it?


Ireland can get up to six resources and we can place only four in the same region. Regional bonuses are something we’ve had in V1 of Erepublik. It means that we can either have 90% or 75% bonuses in the same region. Depends how you interpret Plato’s announcement. As I already mentioned our best weapon right now is being isolated from most of major powers in this game. If we act fast, smart and with a plan we might end up with the maximum bonus in one of our regions. We’ve chosen weapons to be our goal we’re trying to reach. Are we going to make ourselves target due to our good bonuses? Most likely yeah.

Countries are depending on how capable their leaders are to organize as many wars as possible straight after day change because only those who have more than 3-4 battles will be able to take very rare resources which are the most profitable ones. Usually, all the things are going to the big countries. Now it all becomes meta game in which our duty has been to get ourselves as many wars as possible. Luckily, this month we have very active Government with many international contacts, so we’ve already managed to secure ourselves a lot of battles in which we’re going to win many determination points. However, it takes a lot of coordination, money and organization to get there. We won’t be able to do it successfully without having the whole Nation involved. Everyone would profit out of higher bonuses. That’s why we have organised a National Summit tonight in 14 Erep time. We’ll need max focus from all the citizens of eIreland.

Our plan is to go for one region with max. weapon bonus and one region with 2 food bonuses. We are also looking to keep our Work Tax on 3% +-1% which will make us the most profitable country for weapon owners in the world. We are going to attract the MU Commune holders to join Ireland and move their communes in our country, we would profit from their work and they wouldn’t spend less than anywhere else on the taxes. That’s the plan anyway.

Which region should be our “fortress” in which we’re going to place four bonuses which is the max number of how many can be placed in one region? It’s going to be either Dublin or Louth. Those regions will be harder to conquer since they don’t border any major force and it’s hard to reach them without the AS or passing through other regions we have. With the better bonuses the demand for MPP’s will become bigger too. We’ll need much bigger stack of them since we’ll constantly be under the risk of attack. Of course, that’s why we have joined the alliance (invite is on the way) which is more than capable to protect eIreland.




Where we gonna get tokens?


Well in this moment we have ongoing Training War with the USA. This TW has been started as soon as Resource Wars has been announced so we can have our Natural Enemy proposal at disposal. We have successfully opened a war with USA we’re going to maintain and in which we’re going to win our first tokens by RWing our regions. We’re happy that USA is going to be able to win some too. It’s mutual benefit for both sides. Even though we haven’t really been “on the same side” with the America, we have always kept a very good relations between the Governments of this two countries which proved to be beneficial for both countries.

Our second token will be won in a RW against Bulgaria. They’ve came here several weeks ago and helped us against Lithuania, they never expected they might be able to help us this way too. Our Bulgarian friends has been a loyal ally and one of the best friends of Ireland for several years now. Even though our ways seems to be different now (alliances wise) we are still going to keep the friendly relations between the two countries which help each other numerous times in history of this game.

The third token still haven’t been confirmed, but we’re just waiting for a green light from Australia. We are going to Airstrike them and they are going to Airstrike us. Since you can have only one Natural Enemy in the same time we had to look for other solutions. We have filled food and money for our Airstrike and we’re good to go now. It will bring us another token which is going to be won in the land down under.

You might noticed that we’ve started to win direct battles vs. USA. The reason for this is very simple. We are going to take Maine, American original region from which we’re going to be able to move in other directions and use our NE law to get ourselves another valuable token soon after day change.

It’s crucial that we start all our battles, Airstrikes and other things in the same time as soon as day change pass, in the first seconds of the event. After we do this, we’ll have to make sure to win 1800 points in all the divisions which will require a lot of money and coordination. Now it’s time to contribute to Ireland, stop involving internal politics BS and finally give yourself to Ireland. I know I will do it. We have been preparing things for weeks now and soon we’re going to put ourselves in the situation to be able to launch four different battles after Day Change. This is a huge diplomatical success for a country small as Ireland.
