imho, WW V is part of IV and for consequence, VI is V

There's a distinct break between French Toast and Romania's campaign, and WW1 isn't WW1 because it was just two countries fighting. I'd go on, but I don't have the time.

@gagah: WWI wouldn't have been a WW if it wasn't for Spain attacking Southeast of Mexico and Portugal cockblocking it.

POLAND FTW!

Too bad strategy no longer exists 🙁

Nice article.. 😮

I find it funny how almost every conflict can be traced back to Romania

Polish/Swedish invasion of Germany that signaled the end of ATLANTIS?

Another fine peice of pakistani media.

Another fine peice of pakistani media.

as for the polish deal, it was the best week in my elife. we conquered germany using brilliant swapping tactics invented by durruti (much cheers for him) to keep the initiative. the saarland battle marked both the end of our western neighbor and the rise of the biggest baby boom erepublik has ever seen ;d. on a personal level, it was a bit too nerdy to sit with your boyfriend (cerber was the president, I was his mofa) in one room for a week and pushing the buttons in a browser game, but all in all it's a happy memory -- especially because we were rarely sober 😉.

anyway, I personally think from the moral point of view it was all bad. both spolish selfishness and andyr's stubbornness. on the other hand, all three broke the eden treaty, which was a smart thing to do -- at least we started doing business instead of bureaucracy.

all I am sorry about is that shoot was unfairly blamed for the greek/romanian loss and got removed in the most distasteful way I have ever seen in eden. the secreet meetings of the entire alliance? seriously, he was the guy who created a brotherhood and for me he was the best supreme commander in eden history. all he got was a knife in his back without a reason.

oh wait, there was a reason. andyr lost :_.

NOW BEAT THE SUPERIOR LENGTH OF MY COMMENT

Too bad strategy no longer exists.

I grow nostalgic for the good old Hungarian supreme strategists :3

sweet memories.... x3

really nice article!

btw bonita pic do jornal xD

Well

@vingaer In some degree because of "therefore both spain and poland made separate, secret even for each other deals with the hungarians." This is totally incorrect "spain attacked france for the lulz."

I'd never push a button for the lulz, with the promise of Hungary, Serbia and Indonesia that they were not going to fight, nor to attack Croatia, I attacked France in a plan made by Durruti and me where we were supposed to conquer Paris in less than 4 days, but the flip flopping Russia and their "awesome" leaders stopped us and change that for RA, the following part of the history it's just as you know, as I knew from the begining they changed and started supporting France and blabla, but the first part of the war was totally safe and not risky for us 🙂

great one...

Very nice article.

A good article. You could debate a lot of things but you have to draw the line somewhere.

eRepublik history was and might still be a war between eSweden on one hand an ePakistan on the other. For a long time that was a fact, even though the players moved to different countries it was still Snow vs Sand or Dio vs Pigdisgusting.

Norway conquered whole Russia, was that not a world war? No, says most people since it was only two nations.

But what about this WW1 then, that was mostly two nations and one continent. Hungary vs Romania but it earned the WW title by the (Romanian) admins since it was the first time two global alliances meet in one field.
I was the commander of the strongest army in eRepublik by that time and it was for sure fun. Hell of fun to be honest.

The Swedish annexation of whole Denmark, Germany and Poland was also big fights with Pakistan, Italy, Germany, Indonesia fighting against Sweden. It was FIST vs Northern Alliance.

Since FIST vs Northern alliance days there hasn't been any really big changes. eUK has changed side and so has Italy. Other than that it's the same two teams still fighting each other. So based on that one could just as well argue that we are still fighting WW1..

Good article, voted.

You forgot to put in the part where parter's credit card lead the way for the Russians into America and use that as a foreshadow to how they are complaining about MasterCards today and whatnot.

But otherwise, I loved this article 🙂

>WWI wouldn't have been a WW if it wasn't for Spain attacking Southeast of Mexico and Portugal cockblocking it.

That was completely unrelated. Spain TO'd Mexico so they could screw it up and conquer it easily, and was planned and orchestrated with no ties to the war in Rumania. Also, it happened slightly before it iirc.

Interesting article. I could comment on them all, but it would literally be as long if not longer than this article.

Good work. I agree with your cutoff dates for WWI-WWIV, but do not think anything we have so far merits being called a WWV. We've just had a bunch of isolated campaigns that have not reached the traction yet to be called a World War, in my opinion

At the time of WWI, the fact that every important country in the game was indirectly involved in a war (Ro vs. Hun), was as epic as conquering an entire continent would be now.

At such early times in Erepublik the Ro-Hun and Spa-Mex&Por wars were the most exciting things that could`ve happened. Back then most wars were fought between sides of uneven strength (see Ro-UKR or Nor-Rus).

We could argue that because of the WWI conflagration the war spark turned into an explosion giving more and more countries the guts to take on a full blown war. I don`t agree that we are still in WWI because there have been clear borders in time drawn by times of stalemates and boredom ().

It seems to me that almost every global event is traceable not only to Romania but to the so-called "engine of the game" the Romanian-Hungarian war.

Maybe in a few weeks we will have some sort of closure to this 2year cycle when Romania wipes out Hungary or, less likely, the other way around.

PS. Good idea with the article! It feels good to search my mind for such great memories and analyze them under the coolness of passed time.

WW V and VI are fake history. Even WW IV is runned by Polish cheaters and Multies (50.000 of them ...)

So , from WW III we have fake history ...

Good article. I wish we'd come up with some more original names though.

Vincent, you mean in RL?

lols

Wow, nice work! (:

Well, I've been around since the end of WWII. What a long, strange trip it's been.

I also believe Parter deserves honorable mention in the WWIII section.

Good one.

I still don't consider WWIV to be a real world war. It was mostly a bunch of nations hopping around and doing their own things. The usage of alliance soldiers can't be ignored, but at the root of it there wasn't much of a "unified" EDEN offensive, if you know what I mean.

WWV, I didn't even know that was even considered a world war.

WWVI is iffy. Conquering Russia was indeed pretty big, but the other various worldwide conflicts didn't seem to have to do anything with each other that much.

WWIII though, THAT was a world war. The US and Spain both pulverized, record breaking battles every day, and it's all finished off by one of the most audacious landswaps ever.

I generally don't like the stringing together of loosely related conflicts and calling them a world war. A world war should be pretty consistent most of the time. But arguing over petty semantics is for schoolchildren and liberal arts students.

Also, regarding the naming of WWI: I'm pretty okay with it. WWI IRL was geographically small and pretty much nothing compared to WWII IRL, and they didn't demand to change the name.

Adding on to my last paragraph: WWI IRL was the first war of that scale, so it's naturally dubbed that; WWI in the game was the first war of its own scale (MPPs), so it was naturally dubbed that too.

Sure is old in here.

great article , keep up the good work

very good article and I'm glad you start this debate, Cavalcanti. I will answer later today because you deserve a comment at least as documented as your article is.
Hmm, is very interesting how the best articles are written by the old players - the so called dinosaurs.

P.S. Hello Misho 🙂 good to see you are still around.

Excelent 😃
