Three days ago I was writing about how EDEN and Terra managed to outsmart NWO/ONE and win several key battles.
In the same article I was pointing out that is the exception. The reason is simple ("Elementary, my dear Watson!"): EDEN and Terra are numerically inferior and while the same trick can indeed be played twice, it should be played only after the enemy forgets it.
There is absolutely zero shame in being defeated due to the overwhelming superiority of the enemy. Being upset because of that is like being upset because the water is wet.
This is why I think the doom-and-gloom articles published in several countries are both useless and worthless. Add to that the following:
1. Under the current circumstances what really matters is to keep the players' community alive and united. If the strategic situation changes, we need active players to take advantage of it. Finger-pointing and throwing the blame around should therefore happen only in our enemies' camp (and the funny thing is they keep doing it even when they are victorious);
2. What did really happened when we lost a battle? Today the weather is great in Bucharest, so we went out for a walk in the nearby park. Guess what? We haven't seen any Serbian soldiers patrolling on the streets of the city!
I'm willing to bet no Turks are setting checkpoints on the boulevards of Sofia and no Turkish tanks are parked in Rousse's central square either. So what's the problem, really?
Let's always remember this is a game of strategy.
- It is a game, therefore it has little to do with the Real World.
- It is a game of strategy therefore the numbers are important. If the numbers are against us we will for sure win some and lose some. Three days ago we've won, now we're losing. In a few days we'll win again and so on.
- Since it has little to do with the Real World it has little to do with Real World things like "courage", "bravery" or "heroism". Who has ever died for his country with a mouse in hand? Who has ever got into the history books for bravery on the battlefield by clicking repeatedly a red "Fight" button?!
Games are supposed to be entertaining. So let's prepare for having fun a few days from now on!

Heh that's obvious mate, but I haven't seen those articles you're talking about.
@wildrunner: Much to my displeasure I can read them in several EDEN and Terra countries. The good thing is they didn't get to the top of their categories. So this article is a "media preemptive strike", before the mood is spoiled
One thing is obvious - now only EDEN is fighting ONE. After ONE was driving out of Asia and Americas, TERRA gone farming and thinking for regions and bonuses. War is in Europa again and no active support from TERRA again. The same from China. While ONE is concentrated major in Europa and same time zone EDEN will have no support from TERRA "buddies". We don't even win some night battles, where is expected TERRA countries to be active.
So the solutions is obvious - if TERRA doesn't want to cooperate active with EDEN for better game ballance against ONE, doesn't want two alliances to be merged, we must give corridors for ONE to their regions. So if they don't want to cooperate, they will have to. Because it's easy someone to hump you.
Dude,what is strategic of this game?
That one person can defeat hole army with the credit card?
That one person can defeat hole army with the credit card?
This was true when we had only 30 hits per 24 hours. No we have 200. The fact that most players cannot provide food and weapons for all available health is not admis' fault, but simply egoism of those who have surpluses and sell it at high prices.
"So this article is a "media preemptive strike", before the mood is spoiled"
very wise. it is quite usual to see the guilty for the losses among ours, instead to realise we are far weaker than our opponent
BuccaneerBG, what better balance mate? The balance if the game is broken. The only reason ONE isn't winning ALL the battles around the world is because they are incompetent and badly organized.
ONE can't win all the battles even in this sort of game imbalance. TERRA win almost all their battles, even against proONE ABC. In the same time EDEN lost even the night rounds, where we expect TERRA help. All this means ONE is only EDEN (without China) concern, after they lose most of their borders with TERRA countries. And means - there is no cooperations between two alliances. This brings even more imbalance. So TERRA have to be included in world wan, one way, or another.
Yep they can if they want to. If Terra/EDEN can win so many battles what makes you think ONE can't given the current imbalance.
so, it's a game.
I will remember you next time when you come with RL things like sticking old opincs, french treaties, tales about brave romanian soldiers and so on.
@gyika:
Do you imagine the French who play the game give a rat's butt the "glorious" Hungarian army crossed France on her way to the United States?
Those who take the game seriously are people who wear your uniform. If they can't fight against their country in Real Life, at least they can settle "old grievances" in an Internet game.
Hanging old shoes on top of the Hungarian Parliament is dedicated to them (and to them only), because to them (and to you) it matters.
For the rest of us it's just fun.
i feel that this article is dedicated to bulgarians 'like me'.
- It is a game, therefore it has little to do with the Real World.
your words, not mine.
patetic flamer, not a diplomat you are.

mr Watson says Eden and Terra should unite, otherwise it will be very difficult to outsmart ONE
Where is the strategy in this game ?

Seems like some are winning more than others, tough.
Nice article, voted!
