[Public Service] How the Resource Wars Work and How to Profit From it ez like
Rob the Bruce
Here's why the MoD orders are really funky for anybody who lives under a rock.
The gist of the resource wars is as follows:
Aight so with a resource token we can claim a resource. Resources come available in a seemingly arbitrary order at seemingly arbitrary times, which one can view in the resource pool tab.
What this doesn't tell you is that if you don't spend yo' token you lose it pretty quick, so you can't just dominate in all battles and then grab whatever you fancy as it comes available. You have to keep track of how every division is doing in every battle your country is in, in order to work out when you can get the next resource token in time for the resource you want. So sometimes you need to hit against yourself so that you don't get domination too quick and get a token at the wrong time.
Of course other countries are trying to do the exact same thing so you need to keep track of their battles as well, and then if they do act there's probably nothing you can do about it.
So in order to get full bonuses from this you'd need to be an omniscient, omnipotent being. That is why people are of the belief that the country is utterly screwed and as such have turned to making a meme out of fish, a resource we seem to be getting good at acquiring.
So if the country's buggered, how do I profit from this?
You remember two seconds ago when I told you every country is trying to do the same thing. As such, in many divisions in many battles the damage being dropped is low. People are dropping just enough to push the bar so as to not end up screwing their country's resource strategy.
So if you look, you can quite easily pick up BH medals in backwater countries, if they're controlling their damage.
IN A NUTSHELL
1. Find a totally irrelevant pair of countries i.e dudes that aren't our allies going at it in a fight (My last BH of the two I've gained since this mess began was in Belarus I think)
2. Look where the bars be at and where the damage be at
In some countries, D2 BHs have been as low as 3 mil, which is rather different from the usual 10 mil or so I was seeing before the resource wars began (that 10 mil or so usually being dropped by some 100k strength dude that will turn up and retake it with about 5 kills after you spent 200 energy bars as a meager 50k boy just trying to match his game)
So do some looking around and even the low strength bois can grab a couple of BHs
DISCLAIMER: Do not go for ez BHs that go directly against MoD orders or bugger up allies' days, somebody will probably send you many panicked PMs:

I would also recommend not following my method if the UK is currently trying to go for something, the country is marginally better off if you actually follow orders when there are orders available to be followed
Considering the Resource Wars event seems to have been cobbled together by picking ideas at random, stirring them in a pot and seeing what comes out the other end, I've taken the opportunity to go hunting for FF and Merc medals instead (and RH medals if I'm lucky). Even managed to pick up a completely random BH for less than 1m damage (and that was in D3).
Let's face it. This event is Yet Another Joke by Plato intended to make the strong countries stronger, and screw everyone else. Noone except the handful of die-hard rulemongers truly understand what's going on and I expect fewer even care any more. Still, at least there's lots of RWs for a change.
Agreed - I've actually gained 3 BH medals these last few days which is staggering!
I've got two. As I started with 10 before the event that's a 20% increase.
Absolute madness.
it doesnt matter if you know precisely whats going on. ur country can cross the finish line hand in hand with the winner time and time again without getting the resource :/
It doesn't really make the strong countries stronger, a rubber resource has gone to bloody Saudia Arabia of all places.
It's just a madting innit
