Military : DropBears Focus Bad - Everybody Else Considered Worthless
Australian Warlord
The focus of the eAustralian military is on about 10 players. These 10 players are deemed to be worthy for support in training exercise support and according to Cottus's great battle ideology may even get given Q5 weapons yet everybody else is left for themselves. Lets do a few simple maths equations to show that this is bad policy.
1 * New Player : Strength 5 Private Q1 Weapon = 26 damage per battle
2 * New Player : Strength 5 Corporal Q1 Weapon = 30 damage per battle
3 * Near New Player : Strength 6.5 Sergeant Q1 Weapon = 44 damage per battle
4 * Near new Player : Strength 6.5 Lieutenant Q1 Weapon = 50 damage per battle
5 * Older Player : Strength 10 Colonel Q5 Weapon = 155 damage per battle
6 * Normal Tank : Strength 13 General Q5 Weapon = 219 damage per battle
1 * 10 fights to level up - 2 Gold = 0.5 Gold per combat damage increase
2 * 17 fights to level up - 3.4 Gold = 0.85 Gold per combat damage increase
3 * 17 fights to level up - 3.4 Gold = 0.57 Gold per combat damage increase
4 * 70 fights to level up - 14 Gold = 2.33 Gold per combat damage increase
5 * 103 fights to level up - 206 Gold = 15.85 Gold per combat damage increase
6 * 229 fights to level up - 458 Gold = 25.44 Gold per combat damage increase

As you can see, it's far more cost effective to train up newer players than the dropbears. Now we'll see whether it's more effective to tank a Dropbear or provide weapons to a near new player.
4 * 0.2 Gold - 50 combat damage = 250 combat damage per gold
5 * 2 Gold - 155 combat damage = 77.5 combat damage per gold
6 * 2 Gold - 219 combat damage = 109.5 combat damage per gold
As you can see, it's more cost effective to fund a wide range of players with Q1 weapons then to tank the top few. There's a Dropbear (little boys club) centralistic ideology whilst every single other player is told that they're of no value.
Why accept 3rd world eWages to be treated like that. If the little boys club wants to have their little special group then why not at least ditch your 3rd world wage job & join other Australians in eRomania where you can get proper eWages & fight everyday.

because we are not eRomainians- We are eAustralians. At times, AW, i doubt your loyalties.
There is 2 main reason we use DropBears.
1. They have High strength.
2. They are active.
2 is a major point, half the people who play this game, will quit within 2 months.
We use Q5 weapons in training exercises to level up faster, which spends our wellness wisely.
I'm, pretty sure your equations don't take into account wellness with gifting & gold packs.
Another thing you might want to know, most of the training money comes out of our own pockets, full operations on the overhand, we are given most supplies.
Being a DropBear isn't all about being strong in military sense, you also have to dedicate most of your income to it as well.
In a full operation with all Dropbears active, (there are more than 10), our combined damage is very high with less wellness spent in ratio to 100 new players with Q1 weapons. A main reason why you dont give 100 players Q1 weapons, is it is a logistical nightmare in erepublik...
@Hubert : There's only one reason why I have any interest in seeing eAustralia do well & that's because I'm Australian. The math is easy to see. I'd hardly present some math to any eNation that I don't want to see do well. For instance I'd never publish this in eHungarian news (funny as I had some great Hungarian internet friends when I was playing Imperium Galactica).
I would rather have a 3rd world wage in Australia than live in Romania, why bother getting Australia back at all if you just want to live in Romania.
@Ben P: Burn!
@AW: 1. We are not just training up DropBears, if you had access to the forums you would see we are doing more for our lower levels now.
2. We have 16 DropBears, all of them fairly active, whilst, in the lower levels, there's maybe 20 active. 16 DropBears do more damage than 20 ADFs.
3. As Ben P said, why are you worried about Australia if you're just going to fight in Romania and encourage people to move no matter what? Do something for Australia! Start an Australian Independence Party and run some of your Romanian friends for Congress, or start a big corporation with good wages in Australia! You, sir, are the biggest hypocrite possible.
3.
Average eAustralian Wage: 7.09 AUD
Median eAustralian Level: 4 (if you don't know what median is, you didn't do very well at school)
That's pretty good, enough for a Q4 food every day, nearly.
Mouj states that the average eAustralian job earns just over 7 AUD per day. This equals about 0.144 gold per day. eRomanian Level 4 land jobs range between 20 ROM & 24-25 ROM. This equals about 0.40 to 0.47 gold. In other words a eRomanian job at the same skill level earns about 3 times more than a similar eAustralian job. Mouj also claims that I should start a eBusiness in eAustralia offering 3 times the wages as is currently offered. Forgetting about the poor wellness in eAustralia, the eAustralian government opposes high wages for it's citizens full stop. There'd be more hate mail for congress members & a official boycott against any of my eBusinesses.

Why would I want eRomania in control of eAustralia any more than eIndonesians or eIndonesian minions? Let me put it simply. Not only I want eIndonesia & eIndonesian minions to lose all control over eAustralia, I don't want any other eNation to have eAustralia. Those who attack me however have stated on many occasions their support for eIndonesia remaining in control both politically & territorially.

Q5 weapons ain't cost effective at training people up. A Q5 weapon costs 2 gold pop so each standard training mission costs 8-10 gold which take weeks to earn. The same player could on Q1 weapons have either 10 training mission enabling him/her to level up 6 times faster, or have two training mission with the 80% savings help buy eBusinesses off eIndonesians.
People like Pred oppose this. You must ask the question of why would somebody actively oppose a more cost effectively way of doing things. There's only one reason why those who attack me oppose such cost effective measures & that is if they want to run eAustralia & Australian citizens further into the ground in this game. That's the way reason. Do your sums & think about it and after you've thought about it & done your sums, write the result & conclusions here.
Why are you advocating Romania?! Answer my question! If you want to make Australia better, come to Australia, run for congress and start companies here, not in goddamn Spain!
we have a small number of active players with a great deal of knowledge and xp in military and economic issues. It is a shame there is such conflict between them, together great minds can achieve great things.
Cerridwen, the leader of the Drop Bears couldn't accurately describe the workings of hospitals.
If you read the transcripts of the negotiations beteen eAus and eIndo you'll find that the eIndos had to explain that you can't maintain an alliance with an enation you're fighting.
Mouj can't even see the futility of non-govt senators in the game.
What knowledge?
Im disappointed once more..
Not only did AW completely avoid my response.. he ignored it and attacked me.
There is a reason why people consider this one of the worst in Australian Media..
You know I wrote this all ready;
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-australis-report-on-the-military-capabilities-of-eaustralia--775066/1/all." target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-[..]all.
The main difference is that I have entered into politics to try and change this from the inside.
The eSpanish eBusiness was a bargain. I didn't start it, I brought it & it will be resold resulting in a nice profit. If WA is ever going to return to eAustralia's hands, the money will be of value in buying a WA eBusiness or two off eIndonesian hands.
@Pred : You're a major reason why the eAustralian media is so bad. Deliberately making fictitious allegations against others for "entertainment" or because it's "fun to do" is appalling.
Well, Pred does have over 100 subscribers... Yeah, I guess you're right, that makes him a bad member of the media.
And you still haven't answered my question: why do you advocate Romania?
Damn this nation has gone downhill over the last month or two, why can't it be like the good old days?
AW thank you for your "math." I believe that you have not seen the primary goal of the Dropbears. Its main use is a means of communication to mobilise high strength citizens who are active. It allows the MoD to calculate potential damage points if we should need it to defend our country.
It is much more effective to have the members act together. Orders to move out and battle in certain regions will need to be tactically planned as our force is not that strong. The Romanians have a number of 'Special Force' groups that share communication and funding models and move together.
There has been no funding for individual soldiers as far as I am aware. Although there may be plans to support war exercises to benefit all Australians.
The overall aim is to benefit Australia. There are citizens who invest a considerable amount of time to plan, organise and almost daily maintenance to supervise the combat readiness of the troops.
It is unpleasant to see your derision of alot of hard work in what many see as a definite 'positive' mechanism to plan for the defence of our nation.
@Mouj : I answered that question to you when you sent me a PM. Give permission for my response to be released.
