Join the new world

the last few days I have seen a ton of articles and adds about whether or not we should abandon the fortress stragy in favor of building a bunch of low Q hospitals in every state, and I thought I would give my opinion about some of the aspects of what abandoning the fortress strategy would do to our country.



First of all, if we did do this even if someone like Max Mcfarland did pay for all the hospitals, it would cost money, money that could have been used for something else, keeping that in mind, lets say that building all those hospitals would take 1000 GOLD to build. that is 1000 GOLD that could have build a great deal of houses or 1000 GOLD that could have gone into an important battle.

Next let us consider how painful it would make retreating battles if someone like the eUK attacks to try to block our initiative, every time we retreat another hospital would be destroyed, and it doen't end there, say our ally, Canada wants to region swap with us for whatever reason, that would also destroy hospitals, again, we find ourselves getting weaker, not stronger for something that costed us a great deal of GOLD.

Now let us look at the past when we subscribed to the idea of building a bunch of low Q hospitals, there isn't much proof that it even helped our player retention at all, people in favor of building all these low Q hospitals argue that during the invasion of North America, we had better player retention because of all the hospitals, but I submit that it was because of the massive invasion of the eUS that kept the newbs interest.

in conclusion, I think that building a bunch of low Q hospitals would not only not help us, but it would hurt us, that is my opinion, that it how you will.
