The Complete History Of War In Erepublik: Part One

Day 250, 21:26 • Published in USA USA • by Desertfalcon

A few weeks ago I announced that I would be starting a project where I would take an in depth look at every single war in Erepublik history. Today I finally got far enough ahead in the project that I felt I could start releasing some of my project. I am about half way done with the project right now but I still need to do some prof reading before I release the rest. I just read over these two about the first two wars of Erepublik. They are not that major of wars but here is just a taste of what I have been working on. Next up is the North American War. I really wanted to release that with these two but its late and I am too tired to proof read it now, plus I thought it deserved an Article of its own. So here it is the first installment of the right now Halfcomplete History of War In Erepublik.

Belgian Annexation

Duration April 10th- April 13th (3 days)
Aggressor: Belgium
Defender: United Kingdom
Other defenders: United States, Ireland, Romania, China
Total number of fights: 18
Fights per day: 6
Battles: 5
Result: United Kingdom sweeps all five battles and annexes Belgium.

Analysis

The Belgian Annexation was the first war recognized by Erepublik although it was not a real war. On April 10th the Belgians declared war on the United Kingdom hoping to be annexed into a more developed country. The reason Belgium did this was because in the first few days of the war module the defenders bonus always went to the side who was attacked first. The Belgians did this so that the U.K. would have that bonus even when they were really attacking Belgian lands. They also did it because if the U.K. declared war on them it would activate several Mutual Protection Pacts of the Belgians and cost their soon to be mother country gold. Being out numbered 5-1 at the time the British took Belgium with ease in the smallest war in Erepublik history with a mere 18 battles.


Slovakian War

Duration April 10th- April 13th (3 days)
Aggressor: Slovakia
Defender: Czech Republic
Total number of fights: 34
Fights per day: 11.33
Battles: 5
Result: Czech Republic sweeps all five battles and annexes Slovakia.

Analysis

In the first war in Erepublik that was not started with the intention of annexation Slovakia declared war on the Czech Republic. Both of these nations were very small with neither nation having more then three regions and the war proposal only passed 2-1. The Slovakians said that they wanted more land and that they did not like the Czechs so they decided to go to war with them since they were also their weakest neighbor. However the Slovakians did not count on the Czech receiving international support.

Due to the small population of Slovakia a few Pakistani soldiers came over to fight for the Czech. They were small in numbers but they were able to fight back the Slovakians. Although this war almost had twice as many fights then the Belgian annexation most of the fighting came in the first day in the region of Moravia where there were 24 fights. After that the fighting died down and the pakistani soldiers were the last ones standing and we even saw the first “Peaceful battle” in Eastern Slovakia where there was not a single fight, the winner was simply the first to press the secure region button.
