What to do in a lull - get loaded.
One Eye
In Erep, war is never far away. Really war is the core of this game and we should spend the vast majority of our resources to do more damage. If you can't fight today, prepare to fight tomorrow. I don't know if you noticed but the US is still missing two territories and Canada is missing 3. These lands are held by the biggest baddest nation in Erep - Hungary. It will take an extraordinary effort on our part to wrest these lands from them.
How To:
1. Obtain at least 15 Q1 weapons. It's pretty easy to get 18 fights in one combat so make them count. When you fight with a Q1 weapon you do 140% more damage than you would with no weapon. This is by far the best way to improve the damage you do, and the most efficient way to restore our land.
2. Get to W=100. That wellness meter or yours is an indication of how many fights you'll be able to do when the stuff hits the fan. So load up on wellness and get ready to unleash on the Hungarians.
3. 80% of players will have a hard enough time loading up with enough Q1 weapons. But if you're one of the few rich players you can do more. Buy 20 gifts (with one of your orgs) for two extra fights. Buy two units of Q5 food. Buy some high Q weapons. Buy this stuff before the battle starts while the prices are low. Then turn your economic advantage into wicked damage.
Strength in this game comes through numbers and organization. Keep your eyes on the prize and work towards our goal. Our goal is to do massive damage for cheap against the Hungarians. The only way to do that is for many citizens to consume a lot of weapons. Spending gold on tanking is fine if you're super-rich, but as a nation we can do far more damage by consuming weapons, gifts, food, and housing.
This lull is not a time to dillydally. It's a time to load up.

ive been too busy building a free Q5 defense system for the eUSA for two dollars a day to buy weapons. sorry
halfjaw, you know the weapons are far more effective than the DS5.
Voted- Good reminder.
When I saw "get loaded", I was sort of hoping it would go somewhere else.
But you're right. The war is not over. As long as parts of the US and Canada are still occupied, we cannot kid ourselves that "the war is over".
Even once we remove the Hungarian bastions (which will be a difficult undertaking) we will still have our allies getting attacked, our leadership will still receive covert communications from captive nations begging for help, and unpredictable in-game hijinks and shenanigans will occur.
World War III, or the North American War, or the Great Patriotic War (sorry to steal one from the RL USSR), has hardened us as soldiers, and our leadership has had to learn game mechanics better than the Russians and almost as well as the Hungarians.
Let's not waste what we've learned the hard way by becoming complacent. It's still a dangerous e-World, and we'll have to remain vigilant to keep our edge.
The e-World is full of failed states who did not learn from experience, and persisted down self-destructive paths (see, e.g., eUK, eRussia, eIran). Not to say that there's no hope for states such as these, and not that they can't be potent and dangerous in the future, but they have all made critical strategic errors in the recent past that reduced them militarily and economically. Let's not be like them.

Agreed 100%
Great stuff, One Eye.
If any new players or financially strapped Americans need a gifting boost or an uber-cheap weapon, PM me, I'll do my best to help.
Right now the US has the cheapest Q1 weapons. all the more reason for you 'Murcans to stock up!

Lol I can try Ready Up, Being poor sucks bad lol
yay
what if you are like the eUK and you blow your load too early on meaningless battles?
Sorry I was loaded and forgot what you were saying...
Nice one
Great article. V&S.

johnpauljones does bring up a good point -- but even if some people blow their uh... guns too early, we'd still have a higher surplus than we would otherwise. Plus it might help some with this surplus of goods...nice work.
I love you One Eye. As always, you are the go to guy for game mechanics. Keep doing what you do because you do it oh so well.
Also, I would love to make you feel all giggly with sexual innuendos. You should totally hit me up sometime.
Kisses,
Pi
