Interesting articles around the world (UPDATED)
Dear citizens,
Today we are going to take the “What's going on in eRepublik journey.” By surfing through media we find out that there is a massive Fortis/Eden counter-attack on the move right now. Everybody is talking about the California-Ontario-Asturias battles. Three opened fronts in three big regions, three simultaneously epic-battles. Of course, other resistance wars or subsequent battles have been opened in order to split damage away from the important battles.
In this article Desertfalcon is analyzing the war events that occurred in The New World in general, and in North America more specific. This citizen is a true living American historian, his newspaper keeping track of almost all the events that took place since the beginning of the Third World War. Of course, today the battle for California is the most important thing for Americans, but the author notices that USA is winning their regions back. Not long ago USA consisted of only two regions, but today they have 18,halfway towards conquering back their homelands.
In Canada, President Jacobi is trying to encourage his fellow citizens here , stating that this is the big day, the day of revenge, the day to win back their capital-region, Ontario. True it is, the 112.200 points wall needs some braveness, against the explosive-growing France, in a 1v1 battle.
The third big battle is the resistance war started in Asturias, again against France. Spain is trying to get their vital high iron region back, and it seems determined to do so. It's clear that France is going to have a hard time against both Canadians and Spaniards, given the fact that they are not helped by MPPs, but neither Spain nor Canada are.
This official French article seems to put Asturias on the very top of priorities, asking the defense of Asturias at all costs. It's easy to understand why, Asturias` iron is vital for Spain.
California,Ontario and Asturias battles are keeping citizens connected to the New World. It's indeed a massive counter-attack against Peace, and we will see in the following hours how the battles will end. For sure, we'll face some great fights and battalions parades toward the final hours, like usually.
Speaking of wars, we have an important announcement to make: starting day 652 of the New World, Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended.
Regards,
The eRepublik Team
UPDATE:
Maintenance announcement:
eRepublik servers will be inaccessible in day 652 starting 03.00 AM, for about 30 minutes, due to some maintenance work.

HIGH IRON FOR ePOLAND!
sedamnaesti, great
nice
So, patch up a bug with a rules change? Nice style.
Asturias is Spain!
the 6 hours retreat thing fails...
Why the change in retreating? This just cuts off more strategy and fun to the game and leaving to just gold, gold, gold.
Why change the retreat mechanics now in the middle of a major war? You just leave yourself open to more complaints of bias
na atrin jan..in faghat khale bazi balade
I don't get the point of the change... and on top of that the timing is terrible. Seriously, any good reason for it?
FIX THE RETREAT NOW? After our enemies use it to destroy us down ton two regions, you guys are going to get rid of our ability to use the same tactic? ....
"Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended."
Awesome. Yet another patch in the middle of the war that doesn't actually fix anything. It kinda only makes the war module worse. What the hell are you doing there, if I may ask bluntly?
"the retreat with 2 minutes before the battle end, and leaving enemy with huge amount of wasted damage,followed by another attack, should have come to a stop."
Then make it so that wall of wasted damage stays in place for 24 hours?
This changes everything.
Just when you figure out how to navigate this quirky maze of rules, they change them on you again

admins check it out
wonderful...
again we see that PEACE takes advantage of the game mechanics (ie. political takeovers) and when their enemies like America have the opportunity to use those tactics against them, admins change the rules so that they are rendered useless.
fail
Ouch, Admins.. ouch.
what about slavonia??? no interesting articles or what??? you dont want to trouble with croatian or serbian??
not impressed
lol. way to fix the retreat system once anti-PEACE starts using it like PEACE did. No bias here amirites
\o/
ADMIN = GOD
Clearly we have angered them somehow and therefore deserve to be punished with these new mechanics.
this sucks balls
this seems pretty stupid if you ask me. keep it up dear admins and you'll see a plague hitting the eCitizens of the eworld. you'll see them slowly dying one by one...
yeahhhhh
"Speaking of wars, we have an important announcement to make: starting day 652 of the New World, Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended. "
WTF, this is BS... what about training wars and returning the regions and stuff?
You best eTurkey!
I like how they add it to the article in the end.
A change like that should have been clearly sent out instead of buried in an article full of old news.
They know it is a biased modification.
For what it's worth, I'd really consider holding off on that retreat change until you are actually implementing a whole overhaul on the war mod. Doing it now seems awfully suspect as Fortis/Eden are finally on the offensive after 2 months of constant beat-downs. The timing is just really questionable.
¿En el futbol esta permitido que un delantero le pase la pelota al portero?
Porque imaginaros el futbol, si se limitara a los defensas a pasarle la pelota solamente a un delantero. O se prohibiera a los porteros a usar los pies. O se prohibiera a los delanteros usar la cabeza.
Esto es un poco lamentable por cuando esta ocurriendo.
En general, no solo esta noticia.
Imaginaros una tanda de penaltis, en las que elige ese momento el arbitro para pedir que se mueva la raya de sitio ( las fronteras ).
O que durante una proroga por empate de goles, el arbitro pita final y le da la victoria al que ha metido el ultimo gol.
Si durante una proroga el arbitro moviera algunas rayas (fronteras) de sitio, a nadie le importaria.
Y si durante unos penaltis cambiara las reglas de proroga, a nadie le importaria.
Estos admins tienen la costumbre de cambiar las reglas cuando estan en uso por uno de los bandos, en este caso cuando perjudica hacerlo a USA.
Yo no voy a opinar sobre eso, porque igual es casualidad. Pero a mi me dijeron en la escuela que la mujer del cesar no solo debe ser honesta, sino parecerlo. Y lo que parece aqui es bastante feo.
I'm not usually the kind of guy that says "fail" to...well, anything. But seriously? Epic fail.
I'm also not usually the guy who buys into the prescriptivist fault-finding mindset in which one searches for every tiny fault in grammar and spelling...but you guys ARE the administrators of this game. Please learn proper English. "Braveness" is not a word and "like usually" is just plain rubbish grammar.
wow... that's an update.
"Porque imaginaros el futbol, si se limitara a los defensas a pasarle la pelota solamente a un delantero. O se prohibiera a los porteros a usar los pies. O se prohibiera a los delanteros usar la cabeza."
No me he expresado bien. Lo que queria decir con esta metafora futbolistica, es que si se prohibiera a los delanteros a usar la cabeza. Nos perderiamos goles muy bonitos. Y quien sabe si nos perderiamos tambien a genios como Maradona.
Si pelamos a un juego de todo lo que lo hace bonito, .. ¿Que queda? un mecanismo repetitivo, mas un trabajo que un juego.

Fix the bug that a President can retreat from the last region of a country
>Speaking of wars, we have an important announcement to make: starting day 652 of the New World, Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended
You have got to be kidding me. I can only assume this is a cruel joke.
Itagiba's article is more interesting than that. =]
How does the new retreat function make sense?
Retreating is for when the battle is no longer winnable, not for when it's not even halfway done.
Do the admins WANT us to fail? They seem to try and impede us at VERY turn.
lame, lame LAME!
,,Speaking of wars, we have an important announcement to make: starting day 652 of the New World, Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended. ,,
why? what is your explanation?
admine ne seri
Get ready for a new study tomorrow!!
admin will get more euros from gold
Thanks admin, once again your changes (biased or otherwise) have disadvantaged the anti-PEACE aligned nations. Keep up the good work, and everything will be blue in no time!
"Not long ago USA consisted of only two regions"
The US actually went down to *one* region at one point in time, if only for a short while.

You forget the big battle in Slavonia!
And fix the bug no ?
It's more simple to delete articles or thread in the forum that spoke about bug ?
I'm waiting for your answer... and now already 5 days have gone... and nothing changed...
"How does the new retreat function make sense?

This. Why not just remove the retreat button altogether then? Hard to use it for anything but region swaps.
complete rubbish update seriously puts question to this games future as a war game
very bad change with the retreat
this now means the retreat is for nothing, 6 hours after the start of the battle or not at all is the same
There should be a rule thats forbids changing the rules in the middle of a huge global war. This is kinda getting rediculous.
Horrible change with regards to retreating. I guess you just couldn't fix the retreat bug because you are poor at programming and opted for this ridiculous solution.
On the other hand I don't understand all this "it favours PEACE again" whining. Are you guys idiots? Now F/E has the initiative and one way of taking that away would be to retreat from blocking battles at the right time. In fact this change would disadvantage PEACE right now if it wasn't for the RWs started simultaneously with blocking battles that make retreating impossible anyhow.
Altogether this is just a crappy solution to a problem that the developers weren't able to fix, it seems.
I think the ability of being able to Tank is ridiculous.
But, it is a way to control the value of gold (by spending it back into eRep). I imagine eRep makes a tidy sum from Tanks buying gold and using it to Tank.
A soldier should be only able to fight ONCE per day (whether it is 5 separate fights in a Q5 region, or 3 fights in a Q3 region).
We NEED a War Mod that factors in the concept of a SUPPLY LINE.
Supply lines are the MOST important aspect of military mobilization.
Isolated pockets of armies (ie: eIran in Arctic eCanada) should NOT be able to fight as tho NWT was neighbouring NorthWestern eIran.
Ever hear of the German 6th Army, led by Field Marshal Paulus?
That is the point I am trying to make here.
SPAM!
Reported!
Of corese i'm kidding
oh , yes, the biggest problem is not the change,
the problem is that A CHANGE will be implemented in the war module in only 2-3 days after the annoucment in a middle of a great war!!
Hey admins.
I want to recommend this game to my friends but I'm not sure I can do that if you keep changing the rules when EDEN decides to fight fire with fire.
I have an idea. Instead of altering the rules constantly, you could upgrade the server from a 2x86 running Windows ME.
I mean, it's not that I HATE the headless chicken. I'm just saying.
Admins suck hard - never change the rules in the middle of the game. You won't get any RL $ from my pocket for this.
rofl....gj admins, way to shaft the USA
Hmm..announcing that at the bottom of an article like a minor change just proves your lack of respect.
Good job! You are really professionals
wakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakaka kkakak

I like thatyou are trying to fix the retreat button guys. But it doesn't fix the core issue. Retreating is admitting defeat, therefore if you retreat you lose the battle and therefore are unable to attack again. But let's not change things too much just yet. I think it's only fair that countries that were wiped off the map recently due to the old game mechanics should be allowed time to get most if not all they're ORIGINAL territories back using those game mechanics.
Yep. Don't bother to change the retreat option when PEACE is using it. Though when FORTIS/EDEN uses it? Get rid of it. Totally.
Good job admins, good job. You known about this bug for how long? And JUST NOW, just as the momentum switches against PEACE, you change the rules to favor the defenders. It seriously took you people MONTHS to come up with this great little rule change? MONTHS? No, you clearly aren't biased at all.
Apparently you are just incapable of actually FIXING a bug and prefer instead to use crappy bandaid solutions.
Solutions that heavily favor one side of the ongoing war, attackers or defenders.
The side that PEACE happens to be on.
Nothing wrong there at all.
Isn't the new retreat thing good for eUSA, too?
I remember times when we would tank the heck out of a battle and then, at the last minute, eIndonesia would retreat, wasting it.
This means that we can now safely tank battles after the 6 hour mark and won't be worrying until the very last moments of the battle if someone's going to retreat.
Sorry if I don't get all this military stuff, lol.
@ Bogdan Adamutz
"oh , yes, the biggest problem is not the change,
the problem is that A CHANGE will be implemented in the war module in only 2-3 days after the annoucment in a middle of a great war!!"
Yeah, well they brought the Citizenship Mod in the middle of the "a great war". eCanada and eUSA lost thousands of citizens who automatically were estabished with Citizenship of an occupying power.
We had to airlift them out one by one and then bog down a busy congress to pore over all the Citizenship Applications.
Citizens should have been given a CHOICE which citizenship they wanted in implementing that mod.
I hardly see how altering the war mod as being ANYWHERE as inconvenient as that.
6 hour retreat? poor president who goes to sleep and misses it
Citizenship Module that comes in with perfect timing to leave thousands of US citizens with foreign citizenship? Check
Changing the borders in the USA (but not the Eastern Hemisphere)with NO warning, literally a day after Russia was supposed to be locked out of further advances? Check
Changing the Retreat function only days after the US finally gains the initiative after months of having the retreat function used against them? Check
Create a one way Portal between Western-Transdunabia and Florida that starts Florida off with a wall of -1,000,000 (Negative One Million)? I bet I will be able to check this one off sometime in the next few days.
Well, the 6 hour thing is better than before. If PEACE tries that move again, the damage that's wasted will be considerably less.
at least 12hours... if a president goes to bed some minutes before the battle start he won't be able to retreat because he will be sleeping..
thats cruelty.
good stuff
"Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended. "
is this for the attacker, defender or both?
Can someone explain the retreat thing?
I have seen the headless chicken at least 100 times today.
Fix that please!
Borka i think it used to be that if you attacked and were losing and retreated in the last mins, you would still be on the offensive.
Also you could switch from defensive to offensive if, when you were winning one battle which was about to end, you retreated all the other battles you may have been losing, and then the battle you were winning finished then you would be on the offensive.
also if the admins got rid of the retreat to go from defensive to offensive then countries would be able to stay on the offensive for ever, unless they changed it so if the country on the offensive lost a battle then they would lose the offensive position.
It's a shame that in all your surfing through articles you only make note of the wars and not of diplomatic victories and news. You would do better to change your advertising from social interaction to war strategy game if that indeed is your intent.
A landmark diplomatic contract has just been signed after the first post citizenship PTO and you still go on about battles and wars. This game is about war yes, but it is also about economics and diplomacy. It would be nice if your team surfed those sectors and articles and acknowledged them as well.
"peaking of wars, we have an important announcement to make: starting day 652 of the New World, Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended."
Epic Fail....way to be biased towards one party of this game.
"Borka i think it used to be that if you attacked and were losing and retreated in the last mins, you would still be on the offensive.

Personnaly i dont get why there even is an "offencive and defencive" part the the war module. in a real war you can be on the offencive in one place while on the defencive in another. makes no sense what so ever to me.
ive only been playing this game for a little over a month and ive noticed alot of things that could use major changes. maybe its time for eRepublik V2.0
WOW announce a game change to a flaw in the module AFTER it starts to benefit the US. Couldn't have changed it a little sooner??? It's funny how the flaws are noticed when they start to affect PEACE negatively. SHOCKER more admin bias.
ADMIN HAS NO BIAS!
These people are paid to be neutral. I've had my fair share of complaints where ****-*** Americans report me for using words they all use, but I never really report anyone... like JBB calling me "Shortbaugh" in one of Desertfaclon's latest articles... so the parity is skewed.
Get over yourselves. Administrators are all Romanian and I'm sure they all get a major kick out of watching Americans cry and whine, left and right, about alleged "bias."
@ AlexJH
That is prehaps the most moronic comment I have ever seen in six months on eRepublik. Enjoy the FP's.
Admins: proofreading. Look into it.
eusa propaganda against peace ... did egod under eusa flags?
It is this kind of "Oh, and BTW, we're going to change a rule that is a fundamental staple of strategy in the middle of a campaign," that makes Americans quit, and is why this game will not turn a profit for a long time. You cannot play an obvious bias and expect people to pay for this game.
what a funny article and what a funny admin .
No, SERIOUSLY. PLEASE upgrade your server. No one uses Windows ME anymore.
Regards to our Polish brothers from Croatia!
HAIL EDEN/FORTIS !!
RETREAT
Usually leaders retreat from battlefieldswhen they don't wanna lose their soldiers. But one thing which is different in erepublik from the RL is that you can't lose any soldiers. Ur numbers will stay the same so what's the point of having the retreat button for 6hours. Make it 1 if the countries actully aranged the battle so they can move forward/help each other
When you get a chance: the "change of ownership for newspapers" thread on the forums has a backlog of over a month now.
Dear admins. I would like to easily see how many subscribers I have without logging onto my Org.
Thank you.
