Hello Readers,
Now everyone knows about the new military module, but I’m just going to briefly cover some of the good and bad points of the change. As it goes most people are disappointed with the new change purely because the admins are the ones that made the change and so it must be bad.
The Positives
A very big positive is that there is less likely to be cheating when it comes to bots. There have been numerous accounts of new players being created, getting a punch of bazookas and between them doing enormous amount of damage, but now there won’t be any point as the effort of creating them and the threat of getting ban is not worth a measly 1 point as the new players will be placed into Division I.
You can make a difference. Or at least it appears so, either way, it boosts your interest in the game to see you yourself move the bar in your favour. In the battle of Corsica, Slovenia were 1,200 points behind in Division III and I moved the bar up and as it was late at night we went on to win as there was now no real opposition, I felt like I made a big difference even if it was just to win 3 points.
Battle Hero Medals. Of course (Or at least I assume it to be) there will be battle hero medals given to people in each Division which means 4 BH medals per battle with a possible of 15 battles so that’s 60 BH medals given out in one campaign or 120 in total for both sides, but the campaign hero remains at just 1 as that counts all the Division into 1.
Tactics. This is the core of the military module. If you get the tactics right, you usually win. With 4 divisions you can direct a military unit to fight in whichever division needs fighting while letting the other division fight elsewhere giving maximum efficiency and getting all soldiers a chance to make a visible difference.
Romper Smash! Nope. Not anymore. Admittedly, 5 points is a lot to win for the country but if a country is losing all the other divisions and the tanks only manage to boost Division IV you’ll lose by 1 point per battle.
The Negatives
1 Point. Not a lot to be fair, and if you’re a noob fighting all you can for your country and you win 1 point, it’s really not a lot. Admittedly, this can also go into the positives as a noob winning an entire point for their country is a big deal, but on the scale of things, it’s rather insignificant.
5 Points. A lot. Is Division IV is winning it seems rather unfair that you’ll have to be winning in every other Division to win. I can however see why they did this because if Division IV was to only earn 4 points then you’re in danger of a possible, however unlikely, draw. And I doubt anybody would be too happy for a draw. It would be much better if all the Divisions earnt 1 more point. So Division I would earn 2, Division II would earn 3, Division III would earn 4 and Division IV would earn 6. I think that’d level things out a bit. Or you could perhaps add another Division to go in between III and IV which would be a much better idea.
This is another one that may contradict one of the positives. One was that you feel like you have more power. But it could also do the opposite. Your Division is home and dry for this battle, but all the other Divisions are losing? Your orders are here but you don’t want to waste your damage, so you must take your damage elsewhere and you feel powerless to help your country win. In the UK versus Ireland in Scotland, the UK were winning both Division II and III. Division III had pretty much won this battle. Division I and IV weren’t doing so good and this may link into my last point about Division IV being able to produce too much points and making too much of a difference when so few people are in those Divisions.
Division IV is relatively unpopulated. Usually only two or three people will be fighting there every battle and it’s usually a very one-sided battle and it seems rather unfair that you can win a battle so easily and be able to grab so many points from it. So you could either create another Division between III and IV or make Division IV’s points the same as Division III.
Thanks for reading, perhaps you guys have better solutions to the problems than I do and if you do then please comment we’d all like to hear what you guys have to say.

awesome!
Are you sure you wanted to write "Division IV is relatively unpopulated. " It does not make too much sense.
OK, I think you may be right in some countries. But generally it is not true, and given the current MPP system in most important battles a lot of DIV IV fighters will arrive.

Yeah,admittedly, in the most important battles you'd find that Division IV is more active. But in Resistance Wars and what would be considered unimportant battles like Estonia, United Kingdom or Slovenia you'd find that Division IV is rather quiet but is very one-sided because of the few people in there which is just easy points. Or even countries like Egypt against Greece, you'd find that Division IV would almost always be in Greek favour because only one or two Division IV's would participate
"Romper Smash! Nope. Not anymore. Admittedly, 5 points is a lot to win for the country but if a country is losing all the other divisions and the tanks only manage to boost Division IV you’ll lose by 1 point per battle."
This is why bots are so important now, alongside tanks they can win RWs - you aren't going to be able to get enough division 1-3 players to move to overcome the local population, and division 4 are the highly mobile tanks which used to do all the damage.
I did think this after I wrote it to be fair. Which is slightly worrying and another reason to add in another Division to level everything out. And there is no guarantee that the organisation will be there, and if it is, it's more likely the people will be caught for cheating, so although bots are still important, it'll be a lot more risky than before.
Being in Div-4, I feel myself as a tiny soldier now, between all those Gods of War.
It might have made sense if they introduced another division, a fifth division, which would be above 4th.
So I agree with you on creating another division, but we differentiate on its location.
Maybe Level 45 or 50 is a good limit for this Division 5.
Points given to the division battles might be 2,3,4,6,8 respectively. I guess there is no risk of a draw with those.
Hmmm, yeah that would be a better idea than mine. I'd split the normal players to the gold users.
Well, if a country loses the will to fight (after what UK has been through, it's understandable that some high level people decide to leave), that can and usually does affect all divisions but the mose sorelly felt is the loss within the 4th division. people take a long time to reach it and it's no cakewalk. it is, however, a huge loss when the same number of people leave the 4th division if they're compared to the 1st, 2nd or 3rd division. (meaning if 20 men left and 5 from each division,...
... the top-most 5 of them are hardest to replace)

voted, great to see you're writing again Gambit
There'll be a constant in this game; ONE winning div II and III, Teden winning Div I and IV.
Teden wins.
Turkeys and Rompers. The cheat and the visa.
I totally agree it should have been split into 5 divisions.
yes for 5 divisions; v+s
yes for 5 divisions; v+s
Well the 5 division may happen soon as solution from admins because the fourth division will be the only one filling up from now on. The fourth division will get more players every day and noone can leave it(except if they leave the game). So after some time when to much players get to last division admins could just make division 5 and split those players between 4 and 5 division. Simple.
