To be the best, means to play by the rules, and play well. And that's an understatement. Well, during the past week, Romania's near to flawless military campaigns have come to a halt. More than just reviewing the events of this campaign, we'll also try to explian, what could've been done better, for future reference.

In the beginning... things didn't start out well
And I'm talking about the Ukraininan independence. Movement meant to create a Romanian ally. The battle for Subcarpathia, that took place on day 471 was meant to have a Romanian leader in order to create a tactical advantage.

Ukraine was granted independence, and things seemed to go according to plan, but just two days later, the president of Ukraine became an Hungarian citizen. Not the desired result, as the Indonesian war had just passed.
Could've this been avoided? Yes. The Romanian president, dsalageanu should've not started the riot, but someone trusted, and the independence should've been granted two days later. After the elections. But this was to be only the first of mistakes.

The loss of the modern capital
Because a capital should be a country's most important region, so was Western Siberian Region for Romania. Day 473 saw Indonesia attack the border region, before the 24 hour term expired for Romania's attack. Yet, all officials felt comfortable.
Just moments before this, the open war against Hungary saw a new battle: Southern Great Plain was under seige by Hungarian forces, and nearly simultaneous with the Indonesian attack, a Moldovian region was the target of an unwanted rebellion.

All officials felt comfortable again. 3 fronts, but nothing that hard, was it? Orders came, and the Romanian army, helped by allies was to secure everything.
It wasn't a problem to repell all Hungarian forces. Many battles have ended with them retreating, and this time it wasn't a problem. But the following morning, massive enemy troops amounted to fight in the remaining wars. One after the other, Romania lost Transnistria, region received from Moldavia since the merger, and also it lost the crown jewel: Western Siberian Region.
The reasons are easy to find and are named well played enemy tactics and really high ego from the Romanian side. Indonesia broke the army with the Hungarian attack, as Romanian troops found themselves too tired (in rp terms; read this as wellness pack exhaust) to overcome the fresh Indonesian army.

A loss that wouldn't be easy, as many citizens have found themselves over the border together with massive amounts of infrastructure.

The turnaroud
Of course, the easiest thing to do, would be for the Romanian army to attack again. But Hungary's attacks didn't cease, thus complicating matters. And even worse, Indonesia played a good card again. It attacked Northern Region, the only way Romania could reach Western Siberian Region. The following days, although repelling initial Hungarian attack, Romania lost more regions.
Southern Transdanubia and Southern Great Plain were lost (or better yet given) to Hungarian forces, in an effort to try and save Northern Region, the only bridge to Indonesia, yet this failed, as the Romanian army had it's morale low (rp wise; read this as - the attack wasn't well planned).

The end of the Indonesian front
And the end came really soon. Indonesia started the works to give gack Northern Region, one northern desert, to Russia. The first try failed, as in the ending hours of the fight, many troops gathered to keep Northern Region in Indonesia. But just as the time came to attack, as Romania finally defeated a poor attack in Volga-Vyatka, it wasn't to be.
Yet, another mistake, which actually proves to be very costly came around. Thus far, Pakistan kept Indonesia busy by constantly attacking it. When Indonesia needed an attack, it would retreat, yet now, when this was needed the most, Pakistan stood its ground. One important Indonesian region is Karnataka, and an attack there could've been important, but Pakistan remained silent, and allowed Indonesia to opt for another attack in Moscow. Another Poor attack, nevertheless, but it gave them time for another riot in Northern region, and thus also gave way to the hungarian war. Under the menace of an asian tentacle in Europe, Romanian troops left the Hungarian War.
Angered by this, the Romanian army entered Pakistan attacking Tibet and Karnataka, and trying to liberate Western Australia, but as the day had passed, Indonesian coordination was flawless, complemented by another Hungarian attack, thus making all Romanian efforts useless.

And it comes to this day, that Romania does a balance of things, losing many unimportant regions, but also with Western Siberia gone, and untouchable as the way to there would be through Russia, already packed with protection packs with all PEACE members.

Congratulations to winners, back to the drawing bored for those that didn't pay attention. One big ego for the loss, and two mistakes from tactics. Careful Romania, as at three strikes...

This ends the english article, but be sure to check the grand finale.

E doar un joc. De asta-i important

Sa fii cel mai bun inseamna sa joci dupa regulile jocului, si sa joci foarte bine. Iar asta este o subestimare. Ei bine, in ultima saptamana, campania militara aproape perfecta a Romaniei s-a oprit. Mai mult decat simpla insiruire a evenimentelor, iata si explicatiile a ceea ce s-a intamplat, astfel incat pe viitor sa se faca lucrurile mai bine.

La inceput... nici atunci n-au fost toate bune
Si vorbesc despre independenta Ucrainei. Miscare menita sa ofere Romaniei un aliat, lupta pentru Subcarpathia a avut loc in ziua 471, si a conferit libertate Ucrainei, doar pentru a-i servi un presedinte Roman in alegerile ce urmau sa vina si astfel formand un avantaj tactic.

Ucraina si-a primit independenta, si lucrurile pareau sa mearga dupa plan, dar doua zile mai tarziu, un cetatean maghiar a devenit presedintele Ucrainei. Nu era rezultatul asteptat, intrucat razboiul importiva Indoneziei pornise deja.
Putea fi evitat? Da. Presedintele Romaniei, dsalageanu, nu trebuia sa porneasca revola, ci un apropiat al statului, de incredere, iar lupta trebuia sa porneasca cu doua zile mai tarziu. Dupa alegeri. Dar aceasta avea sa fie doar prima dintre greseli.

Pierderea capitalei moderne
Pentru o capitala ar trebui sa fie cea mai importanta regiune a unei tari, asa cum era Western Siberian Region pentru Romania. Ziua 473 a vazut Indonezia atacand regiunea de granita, inainte ca termenul de 24 de ore sa expire (termen acordat atacului). Totusi, oficialii Romani erau increzatori.
Cu cateva momente inaintea acestui lucru, razboiul inca deschis fata de Ungaria a vazut o noua lupta in Southern Great Plain, atacata de catre maghiari, si aproape in acelasi timp cu atacul Indonezian, o regiune din Moldova, a fost teatrul de operatiuni pentru o rebeliune.

Oficialitatile erau increzatoare. Trei fronturi, dar nu poate fi atat de greu, nu-i asa? Ordinele au venit, iar armata Romana, ajutata de catre aliati trebuia sa faca fata tuturor luptelor.
Nu avea sa fie greu sa respinga fortele maghiare; multe batalii se sfarsisera cu esecul hunilor. Dar in dimineata urmatoare, numeroase trupe inamine s-au adunat pentru a lupta in razboaiele ramase. Una dupa alta, Romania pierduse Transnistria, regiune primita prin unirea cu Republica Moldova, si totodata pierduse si bijuteria coroanei: Western Siberian Region.
Motivele sunt usor de gasit aici: tactica bine jucata a inamicului si un egocentrism uluitor din partea Romaniei. Indonesia a faramitat armata Romana prin atacul maghiar, lasand-o prea obosita (in termeni teatrali, citeste aici folosirea wellness pack'urilor) pentru a face fata armatei asiatice.

O pierdere care nu avea sa fie usoara, intrucat multi cetateni s-au gasit peste granita, impreuna cu o mare parte a infrastructurii.

Cotitura spre mai rau
Desigur, cel mai usor lucru de facut era un atac al armatei Romane, insa acestea erau impiedicate de catre atacurile maghiare, complicand lucrurile. Si mai rau, Indonezia a jucat o alta carte importanta. A atacat Northern Region, chiar si cu impotrivirea Pakistanului, singura regiune care lega restul Romaniei de Western Siberia. Zilele urmatoare, desi initial respinse atacurile maghiari, Romania a inregistrat si mai multe pierderi.
Southern Transdanubia si Southern Great Plain au fost pierdute (sau mai bine spus, date) in fata fortele maghiare, intr-un efort de a salva Northern Region, podul catre Indonezia, insa si aici lucrurile au dat gres, intrucat moralul armatei Romane era la podea (in termeni teatrali; a se citi ca atacul n-a fost planificat cum trebuie).

Sfarsitul frontului Indonezian
Sfarsitul a venit inainte de vreme. Indonezia a incercat sa dea inapoi Northern Region, un desert al nordului, catre Rusia. Prima incercare a dat gres, pentru ca in orele de final, multe trupe Romanesti s-au adunat in Indonezia pentru a opri acest lucru. Si au reusit, insa pe masura ce se apropia momentul atacului Romanesc, intrucat respinsesem cu succes atacul din Volga-Vyatka, n-a fost sa fie.
O noua greseala s-a facut vazuta, si de data aceasta, costisitoare. Pana acum, Pakistan tintuise atacurile Indoneziene prin atacarea acesteia, obligand-o la retrageri consecutive, insa acum Pakistan nu miscase. O regiune indoneziana importanta este Karnataka, si un atac aici putea fi important, dar niciun zgomot nu s-a auzit dinspre Pakistan, astfel incat Indonezia atacase Moscova in ultimele momente ale luptei de la Volga-Vyatka. Avea sa fie un alt atac foarte slab, dar acordase timpul necesar pentru o noua rebeliune in Northern Region, si totodata lasase loc atacurilor maghiare. Sub amenintarea unui picior asiatic in Europa, Ungaria a mai obtinut doua regiuni, prin renuntarea la acest front din partea Romaniei.
Cu nervii la podea, armata Romana a intrat in Pakistan, atacand Tibet si Karnataka, si incercand sa elibereze Western Australia de sub ocupatia Indoneziana. Coordonarea asiaticilor a fost aproape perfecta, fiind completata de un nou atac maghiar, neoferind niciun fruct eforturilor Romanesti.

Astfel, am ajuns in ziua de azi, iar Romania trage o linie, pierzand multe regiuni fara importanta, dar si Wester Siberian Region a fost scapata, si acum e de neatins, pentru ca drumul spre ea e blocat de Rusia, tara protejata deja de toti membrii PEACE.

Felicitari castigatorilor, inapoi la planuri pentru cei care nu au fost atenti. Infrangerea a fost adusa de egocentrism intr-un loc, si de catre doua greseli impardonabile. Ai grija dulce Romanie, pentru ca la trei greseli...

Romania si Mass-Media

Pentru ca maghiarii au aratat cu varf si indesat ca se poate, in momentul de fata detinand un monopol pe sectorul media. Ideea de baza a proiectului a fost dezvoltata mai pe larg de catre felix-focus, insa concretizarea acestuia a lipsit.

Cristala

Well, it's widely spread that Romanias are vampires, and drink the blood of virgins, but just look at Cristala. She's a gorgeous vampire, now left in Western Siberia. Help me get back to her!



Good night and good luck,
