[CoT] Starting April

[CoT] Starting April

March was an interesting month in the game, and even while TWO support was reduced as other wars were fought, CoT was able to keep winning in most fronts; then of course Argentina airstrike helped both alliances to enjoy fighting together against full EDEN in this front.

Respect has grown, both for CoT, as enemies have found we can win without TWO; and for TWO, as we have seen how it is much harder to fight when they are not supporting us.

Even enemy alliance EDEN has got additional respect, as they resisted some attacks and many countries of them were able to secure Congress this month, as other wars were fought; it is interesting to see how exEDEN countries are aligning or staying the same even after formally leaving the alliance.

The major news this month are:

• The return of Switzerland to CoT

• The announcement that CoT Mobile Army is ready

• The successful end of Operation Gangnam Style

ALL of our members have Congress for the first time since the Alliance was founded; we are for the first time, free of both enemy occupation and PTOs. It is clear all our members are better off than the old dark times that many of us lived prior to CoT.



Special focus: CoT Mobile Army

Our Mobile Army is ready now. To celebrate, today’s news by country will be decorated with the avatars for each member contributing to the Army.

The avatars were made by Sliver Lithium, whom we owe great thanks!

The Mobile Army structure is topped by Commander: morpheusmk and Deputy Commanders: Ko3aTa and PsyCokenin.

Last month news, per Country



Switzerland

Our friends in Switzerland got rid of the PTO that affected them last month, so they have come back to CoT. We are glad of seeing them back!







South Korea, Japan and USA

A NAP was signed between Republic of China (Taiwan), South Korea, Japan and USA, which closed the Asian front successfully.

Now Japan has control of all their original regions and South Korea has Congress, with some rented regions to Taiwan that help SK economy. USA has returned Taiwan’s original regions keeping an eye there to make sure they respect the agreement.

Japan has conducted a Training War with China, getting some fun for both sides, but now it is about to end with the RW in Matsuyama; both countries have already cancelled their NE.

USA also won the right to exploit the Americas Gold Mine. Congratulations USA for a very successful month and closing down the campaign succesfully!



Belgium

Belgium has had another quiet month, with some NEs against France proposed but nothing happened yet.



Bulgaria

Bulgaria was attacked by three sides (Romania, Greece and Turkey), carrying with them most of EDEN’s damage while TWO was busy with Russia. But after a rough start, things have returned to normal and Bulgaria is winning most battles, particularly turning around Greece attackers and recovering regions that Saudi Arabia had liberated in the confusion.



Chile

Chile has continued back and forth with Argentina, winning most of the time, stopping them first from running through Paraguay, until they decided to hide via Airstrike.

The major change this month was getting the Gold Mine assigned to Oceania by keeping New South Wales, originally from Australia. Congratulations Chile for winning a Gold Mine!

Additionally, it is important to note that the issue taken to the CoT Alliance Court, about the legality of the NAP between Australia and Chile, was resolved. Judges decided that both countries broke the NAP, so no additional action needs to be taken against any of the countries, and CoT keeps supporting Chile as usual.



Indonesia

A bonus was added, so now Indonesia is 9/10.

It has been unfortunate the back and forth with Brazil, a country very friendly to CoT, but the rogue NE proposed against Brazil was not approved and calm is back as Brazil kept control of the Gold Mine in South Africa; except for that and controlling RWs in Australia, Indonesia is now free to help allies.



Lithuania

Lithuania has enjoyed expansion through Sweden, adding some bonus to their economy and distracting enemy damage from hitting against our allies.



Macedonia

Macedonia has prioritized help to allies from their new Arabian headquarters, and recovered most of their original regions while helping Bulgaria against Greece and conquering most of Iran so far.



Mexico

Mexico has been stable as they have kept enemy Colombia deleted for most of the month, and without Congress for the second month in a row even when they tried to escape to Peru.



Moldova

Moldova had a quiet month after their originally elected CP was impeached as RL limited his game time. While their enemy Ukraine got Congress this month, they are deleted again.



New Zealand

Our kiwi friends have been working with Chile to keep Australia in check and expand their bonus over there. It is an entertaining and even war.



Paraguay

Paraguay had some trouble with Argentina focusing their attack on them last month, but recovered in time to ensure Congress. They also recovered the bonus regions taken from Bolivia, contributing to leave them again without Congress.



Peru

Peru did have Training War with Brazil (allowing Southern Low Amazon to be rented to them), but after Bolivia resistance got some victories, they recovered all the original Peruvian regions plus the bonus region of Pando. While Colombia attacked Peru, they were deleted before the first battle finished, so Peru contributed to leave them (again, and with Bolivia) without Congress.
