Wining a campaign against a stronger enemy

Day 2,097, 02:30 • Published in Belgium Austria • by Kaad


Greetings friends of the eWorld!

Today's article will be about a military fact that have been seen in the past days in CoT battles.

Let me take the example of the peruvian RW yesterday. Peru was rising against Argentina wich use to be one of the most powerfull country on a military point. They currently are the best damage country in D2.

Argentinian shield was auto activate, it means that at start, Argentina had already damage done on their side! (14M in D3!)

However Peru managed to break that shield and earn some points. Argentina managed to come back but Peru closed the campaign.

Here are the facts, but why did Peru won?

1. Damage drain

Draining damage is when your enemy is fighting in 2 or more battles. They are obliged to separate their damages. Other battles can be an attack from an other country or a RW that was started only to drain damage.

In our case, Argentina was having a RW against Chile. Argentina launched the RW, so the Chilean shield was on.

2 battles at the same time, it is hard to win any of them! But separetly, they could have won both of them.

2. Timezone

Despite being much more powerfull than Peru and each of Peru allies (Chile, Mexico, Brazil, USA...), Argentinians allies are only... Colombia and Bolivia!

Most of Argentinian allies are located in Europe! When Serbia is awake, Argentina is sleeping!

Argentina and their 2 allies where alone against all other south and north american countries when Europe was sleeping!

It explains also why Argentina started to come back! Peru and their allies where sleeping, while Serbia, Greece,... where fighting!

3. Managing damage

It is deeply hard to do this, and it can be also the key of a campaign.

Lets imagine. In a campaign, you have 3 battles and only D4 (not very realistip 😛). Country A can do 60M damage. Country B can do 40M damage.

In round 1, A do 35M damage, B do 13M damage -> 5 pts for A
In round 2, A do 15M damage, B do 16M damage -> 5 pts for B
In round 3, A do 10M damage, B do 11M damage -> 5 pts for B

Country B won by 10-5 with only 40% of damage!

Peru won all their rounds with less than 52%, most of the time with less than 51%! Argentina won their rounds by over 70%!

Peru had realised a perfect management, and do not won because they did more damage, but because they were able to do damage when they needed it.

4. What should you remember

You are a fighter, or you wish to be usefull as you can?

Than fight only when the bar is under 52%. Save your damage until the right time and enjoy your country wining!

PS: This is not working if you are Switzerland AS Serbia 😛
