[CP] Garmr VI: Resource Shuffle
Het Catshuis
Dear fellow citizens,
We have made an important step towards getting rid of all these foreigners that have been taking our delicious oil resource in Western Netherlands for so many months. The resource shuffle enabled us to pick new resources for North, East and South Netherlands while Western Netherlands, as our historical capital, will be a fish region. After the 11th of february, we will have a 60% food bonus and 20% weapons bonus from fish, cattle, fruits and iron.
This very positive outcome is in my opinion in large amount due to some strategic decisions made by the current cabinet. First of all, our choice for a sub-optimal (on the short term) treaty with Hungary did create an environment where both parties could profit in terms of gained resource tokens, something the Hungarians did not do with all countries they occupied. A second important choice was to spy on other countries with the cunning of a fox who has just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University. In fact, the only other country that distinctly applied this same tactic was Serbia, a country that is in my opinion the undisputed heavyweight champion of foreign affairs and tactical decisions.
Nonetheless, while some of the setup was achieved through choices that have not been without criticism, the real beauty of our achievement lies with our country as a whole. We have seen an increasing conflict between certain parties, but when it matters most, I see everyone united out of love for our country. Gen. de la rey, Walhallah, Fhaemita, Skyjacked, Odan, and Weekstrom are just a few of the people uniting on the battlefield, disregarding their conflicts away from the battlefield.
I cannot say what the next months hold for us, but I can make pretty strong guesstimates. My guesstimate is that through continued strong efforts in foreign affairs and a minor show of military force, our country will be free. Not for a week, but permanently. God knows we deserve it.

great job
All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

Now you need to hope that Hungary, Germany, or Poland doesn't attempt to reconquer because those are resources they don't have.
Yes, except I did actually analyze the entire European continent for resource positions. If any of those countries takes resources from us, they're either extremely dumb or extremely spiteful.
I bet that's true. Much of the resource choices are left up to game theory, or watching your neighbors and making decisions based off them.
Yup. Poland has 5/5 food bonuses in Lithuania. Germany has cattle in Denmark. Hungary will move this way to absorb housing bonuses in Switzerland/Austria but can just as easy take cattle in Belgium or just move into France (which is even more probable).

Looks good for the future. Looks can be deceiving though, so let's wait and see and hope for the best. It is going to be interesting.

But now that we have the momentum ,we should figjt on for some extra tokens .....maybe those tokens are the way into an alliance at last 🙂
Well, the problem is Hungary is well saturated with tokens and doesn't want to bother with their insane list of RW's. I managed the same on the USA side, and having 8+ wars open all the time is a serious drain on your military team, even if you're with 10 guys.
On the subject of an alliance, we're working on various options. There is no concrete plan yet, so publicly sharing information is not a wise choice.
to bad that we can't strike up a deal with the hun's to get us 1 or 2 extra tokens.......
Finally the country was alive , and now i'm dreading that its going back to sleep again.....and just play politics & government ...🙁
Can't you share the info on the private congress forum , so atleast we can see what options we have these days.
And my geuss is if we won't bring anything to the table most alliances aren't waiting for us to join them .....since we're tiny as hell...
Thats why the tokens are so important imo.

The resource shuffle is my favourite dance.
