Epic Warfare missions and defense shields
Yfke van de Zand
The Epic Warfare tournament is coming.
It is an unusual tournament, in that countries will be rewarded according to average performance of its players. I welcome this change, as it gives smaller countries a really good chance of coordinating their not many citizens to achieve higher levels of defense shields awarded.
The basic strategy, for country rewards, is simple: only players that can fight the maximum extent possible should fight next 7 days during the tournament, everybody else should stay put. Individual rewards are hard to get but they will entice many players with lower fighting capacity (regardless of strength) to give a shot anyways, lowering their countries' average. Therefore, countries that are able to manage well their citizens (so that those who fight to it to the maximum possible extent), especially their lower divisions, stand to gain.
Remaining Defense Shield protection
A very important feature of this tournament is that countries can accumulate defense shield protections. This can start adding up for some very serious protection for smaller countries with few regions, if this practice is to be kept. I welcome that the admins are letting defense shield protection to accumulate, giving a different and interesting path for small countries to manage their long-term existence in a World full of big-shot bullies.

I don't believe I will be fighting myself and I suggest others don't
Maybe this is a good option 🙂

PASS IT ON
Guerrilla fights require you to do 4 regular kills, have incredible patience (I couldn't get one just now, with 60 opponents). So it still awards you a lot of XP, which is precisely what you don't want. I truly only recommend it to division 4 players, and division 3 players who don't mind getting into D4 (e.g. because they're already almost there).
i don't care if im in div 3 or 4 , got the same chance on BH gold.......1 to 0% chance for me to get another ...... medal.......
I'm no donator to plato's bankaccount in anyways............. so i don't win or lose anything....... with fighting and getting myself in D4 earlier .
Having a week of no fights is kinda boring to me ....., but everyone has to do what they think is best for them.
I do understand what you mean though 🙂
if its better for NL that i do not fight .............i'll be bored for a week 😉
Im D2 so im not fighting.
Only if you tand to fight a lot, then just go on. If not then please do not fight at all for a week, this will make you only stronger, and is also better for our state!
Thanks Yfke for this article.
what of I didnt read the articles and fighted allready? do I have to stop fighting or to fight on this week?
You should keep on fighting because you already did!
Yup, definitely keep fighting. If you do it right, you should be D4 after the event. In exchange you'll get several hundred energy bars, which will be worth a (few) BH(s) after you train some more.
I'm working on mailing the most active fighters in D1 and D2 since they can ruin the most during this event (either their own accounts, or our average).
Oh, try to focus on "Epic Battles", as they award you 3 times the prestige points. They are much more important than completing your DO.
Your DO only awards you with 1 bazooka and 1 energy bar, while this event is worth hundreds of EBs.
And Guerilla Fights are a great way of minimizing the experience you get.
And if your opponent is nice, it's just free prestige points:

if you fought, you are included in the average. For the country its better if you fight to the max now.
Fight and be sure to read the articles I posted on forum so you are able to afford it!
We, the government should allocate 20% of the rewards to those players that dont hit, and 20% to the hitters that end up above average. Both groups increase our average and thus the rewards. Thia makes the tourny effective and fun
As long as we cannot access the rewards (so as long as we have no congress) this is going to be hard.
And I guess, since we're talking about 50 people fighting (so ~20 above average), and at least ~100 people not fighting your proposed division is not ideal.
It's more likely it's going to be 5% for those above average, and 15% for those not fighting. But our congress will need to approve, and our MoF will need to agree with such a proposition as well. We're not very rich (as long as we cannot touch the rewards).
Note that the game already rewards those people doing above average damage with lots of energy bars, so these people don't need a lot more.
just tryhing to make it fun here 🙂 any divide is good. Not like we will be aligned on something like this anyway. This is way too bold and fun for our society 😉
