[RU] It's Time to Cage the Russian Bear

Day 641, 08:15 • Published in Russia China • by mihail.cazacu

Russia's refusal to abide by the negotiated peace treaty is a blessing in disguise. The number of Americans under Russian occupation was negligible before the fall of New Jersey. Now it amounts to more than 3000.

That is 3000 angry Americans with access to the Russian labor market. All the Russian companies are now yours to sabotage. All you have to do is to work with less than 40 wellness. Of course you will be fired. Which means the next day you can chose another Russian company to screw.

Since the US is in the current situation because most of the American players failed to understand the game mechanics, here's a detailed explanation of what to do and why.

1. The best thing which can happen to the US is to be completely overrun
Once a country is completely occupied she preserves her alliances intact but all the alliances against her disappear. It wasn't Russia who conquered New Jersey. The whole Russian army + population is able to inflict only ~200k in damage. That is about ONE THIRD of what the US citizens under Russian occupation can do in case of a Resistance War.

New Jersey and the rest of the US states were conquered because the more experienced Hungarian and Indonesian populations could fight against the US. They could do that because Russia had MPP (Mutual Protection Pacts) with those countries when US attacked Russia. Once US is wiped out those MPPs are deactivated and then the Russians have to fight alone against the US. Of course PEACE would fly in some of their tanks to assist Russia to quell the Resistance Wars. But so would do EDEN/Fortis. And as it was showed time and again in both Canada and Spain (or in Croatia and Greece) given the higher average damage capabilities of the EDEN/Fortis troops the Resistance Wars will succeed.

So for now keep this in min😛 the quicker US is overrun, the faster it would bounce back through a successful RW.

That being said here's a step-by-step guide on how to sabotage the Russian economy:

1. Make sure you always work with a wellness under 50. The best way to get your wellness below 50 is of course to...fight alongside Russia. As explained above, the sooner the whole US is overrun the better. So "helping" the Russians take the remaining US states is the best thing to do. The Spaniards did exactly that and the next day they were back on the map. And from then on they kick French ass a province at a time.

2. Once your wellness is below 50 go and Train. Training increases your Strength which ensures an increased damage during the Resistance War. Training also further lowers your wellness by one point so you can be even less productive when working for the Russian-owned companies. The less productive you are the more money they lose 😉

3. Now that your wellness has reached the lowest point, find the best paid job you can get. Make sure you get hired by a Russian-owned or Hungarian-owned or Indonesian-owned company. You want to screw the Russians or the PEACE companies, not your own. Work immediately after applying for the job. The reason is simple: once the boss sees your wellness level and citizenship you will be fired anyway. So work before he can find that out. You make money while screwing him.

4. The next day you'll be unemployed. Train and then look for another Russian to screw. Save all the money to buy a plane ticket to one of the Russian provinces which have a Q5 hospital. Moscow-and-Central-Russia province is one of those. As soon as you get the the ticket move there. By doing this you kill 4 birds with a single stone:

- you lower the number of citizens in that Russian-occupied American state. Since the cost of starting a Resistance war is 50 gold + 25% of the population of the state, by moving away you lower the cost of liberating the American soil;

- you lower the wall defending that province. The mechanics of the game make each person in a state contribute with 150 defense points to the wall. By moving away you lower the wall by 150 point, making it easier for the Resistance War to succeed;

- you are still in Russia, so you can still fight for the liberation of ALL the American states under Russian occupation while sabotaging the Russian economy. Just remember always to fight for the RED team in any liberation war.

- since you are now in a region with a Q5 hospital you can recover your wellness in order to inflict more damage during the resistance wars. Once you have arrived in Moscow and a Resistance War has started you should fight once, train, go to the hospital, recover your wellness, return to the battlefield and fight 4 times more. This way you cause more damage to the defenders (the GREEN team) because you fight with increased wellness and increased strength (because you have trained). After fighting 4 times your wellness is again below 50 so you can look for another Russian company to screw.

5. From this moment on all the money you make taking the Russians from behind should be invested as following:
- first buy 1 plane ticket. At some point the American government would require you to return to the States. You don't know when that order would come so be prepared;
- with the rest of your savings buy weapons so when you fight against Russia in those Resistance Wars they would get a taste of being on the other side of the Kalashnikov.

Have fun! Play smart and the USA will prevail!
