EDEN's Greatest Hits
Blanemcc
With the time of EDEN coming to an end, I felt that now was the appropriate time to take a look back on what I believe were the top 5 moments in EDEN's history. For simplicity's sake, EDEN includes the United States in this article, mainly because we were once a member and were more or less still working partners with EDEN up until the funding of PANAM.
Lets begin
#5 - Gay Pride Russia
Glorious. What more can be said?
The occupation of Russia was unbelievable. Under President Krems, the United States had successfully occupied Far Eastern Russia/Western Alaska. Fighting hard - very hard - we pushed right in to Russia, parking ourselves in her frigid rear end. We then had North Korea swap China and Poland in to position while Romania came in from Europe alongside the second Polish front. Russia was wiped and occupied until after the 25th, giving open citizenship. While we were unable to PTO our arch-nemesis, we still caused no small amount of havoc.
All in all, we completely humiliated the Russkies, and they still haven't recovered from this blow. At least not entirely.
#4 - Hungary Hungary Hippo
Last year, EDEN was enjoying a major wave of successes against Pheonix. Pheonix were struggling to contain EDEN's strength, which resulted in several countries being wiped on their side. These included Portugal, Russia, Turkey, Slovenia...and Hungary.
Hungry for some revenge following being wiped themselves, Croatia teamed up with Romania to bring the pain. Hungary was reduced to one region in short order, before being wiped. It was a short vacation from the world map, but seeing one of Pheonix's powerhouses driven under was just marvelous.
If you didn't fistpump you're an iron curtain commie.
#3 - Spoland Eats Everything
Following World War III, both Poland and Spain enjoyed moderate baby-booms and a drastic rise in military strength. So of course, they both decided to go on a bit of a rampage across Europe.
While Spain tore through France, Poland anihilated Germany, joining up with the Spaniards on their conquest. The two nations were at their peak power, they were pumped up. All was going well up until they started threatening to invade the US, which contributed to our decision to leave the alliance.
Nevertheless, it was an interesting time.
#2 - Ninja Tank

After months of trying to take that sucker through one on one battles with the Huns, we finally took it in one of the greatest moves ever. With mere hours to go, EDEN forces dropped an ungodly amount of damage on the battle, catching the enemy with their pants down.
Just watch the video. Nostalgia has never been so sexy.
#1 - World War III
Some of you will be scratching your heads here wondering how I can say that World War III was our greatest moment. I've thought it through, and I'll break it down.
During World War III we were besieged on all sides. Russia, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, France, Britain and Portugal all wanted a piece of us.
Our Canadian bros went under.
Our Spanish bros also went under.
It was a dark time, let's not skirt around it. We fought hard, but there was nothing we could do. Nothing. State after State fell, until all that remained was Maine and Florida, then only our Fortress State.
And then out of nowhere, we started to turn the tide.
This guy had a lot to do with it
Spain were back. Canada came back. Indonesia were pushed out, the Portuguese were pacified. Russia were booted out. Canada completely humiliated the Iranians after the DoW fiasco. After months of war, we finally pushed the Huns out after the epic Nunavut and Manitoba battles.
Do you remember those times?
They were great. The greatest. Two of the greatest Presidents we have ever had in the form of Emerick and Gaius. The community was tight. Our allies were tighter. Never before had we been so close, and never since.
World War III was EDEN's greatest moment. Not because of how we fought back against the Peace GC hordes, but because of how it brought us all together.

moments that make this game great, even for the losers : )
we miss those, these days... : /
great moments, but EDEN is not dead
"All was going well up until they started threatening to invade the US, which contributed to our decision to leave the alliance."
it should be like this:
All was going well up until USA, by not knowing basic game mechanisms decided to tank in useless battle in Sindh what was the reason why Slovenia wasn't wipe out, what caused locking Croatia in a cage and lost of Spoland's hard-gained colonies in Europe.
You screwed EDEN's dream, no wonder people got mad at you.

World War III was memorable for both alliances. For PEACE GC cause of the the first half, for EDEN and allies cause of the second half.

Add to the list Sindh tanking.
Priceless.
Respect! It was my first times in erep and those days were really epic. Especially Indonesian defence in Florida and my first battlefield experience in Ontario.
YEAH, voted
Eden had some great moments. Let's have a moment of silence while it passes.
Thanks for the memories. Nunavut and Manitoba were among the first battles I fought - throwing down a whopping 6 and 8 damage points ;P. Eden did have some great moments.
so many interest in killing EDEN over here.
Voted, for the old times
That's a good list. I remember when EDEN was pretty well known for their mobile damage- On the day the US was getting Alaska back, EDEN had a lot of damage lined up so they were like 'fuck it' and freed Western Australia. Good stuff
This is our past, our glorious past, and now EDEN takes a new way, where Spoland are traitors. Good work, people.
Voted, for the old times x2
I've never done much in this game from a political point of view but one of my proudest memories was fighting through the Invasion of the eUSA. Being on of the few people who still had jobs I spent every penny on food and weapons to help push back the enemy.
one of our greatest times. the memory of retaking california still brings a tear to my eye.
Voted for old Times,
A valuable literary contribution.
cool stuff \o/
I would also add legendary battles in NWC and Slavonia.
Cheers folks 🙂
awesome. nostalgiamaxxxxxx

add... unable to nail down and hold either Chinese Iron region, the US-led EDEN march across Asia to take Karnataka. with pressure from both the east and the west, Phoenix crumbled like day old bread.
EDEN is not dead!
What about Turkey and deleting them time after time?
HAIL EDEN true brotherhood no matter what
@AleZel13
Deleting Turkey is a great thing also.

We are alive and we are kicking harder then before.
