[Yhamilitz] What makes an battle Epic? Let's find out.

The Epicness is there
Guten tag meine Freunde.

To be honest, I didn’t really imagine writing about something today. But something happened that changed that.
So, let’s talk about epic battles...
...But not what today people call epic battles. I mean, I talk about those epic battles. Those that became part of the History of Erepublik.
Is a matter of life and death
Long time ago, where the Economy worked differently, wars were different.
Before the was not Airstrikes… Oh no my dudes…
If you wanted to go to the other side of the world, you needed to make a lineal invasion by land (That is why regions separated from other regions by an ocean, had neighbours in other continents). That means, you only were able to attack a region next to your region. If you were the president of Poland, or Hungary, and you wanted to invade Texas, you needed to cross all Europe and cross countries…
So, I present to you those epics:
This is how the first battles in Erepublik (When I came in 2009) felt like.
Why were epic?
In the past as I said, Economy works differently.
At that time, we only had 5 resources (Grain, Iron, Wood, Oil and Diamonds). As you can imagine, Grain was for food, and Iron for Weapons. Wood was for Houses (I don’t really remember if Houses were implemented on that time) Defensive Systems (Was for Defensive Purposes) and Hospitals (helped you to heal). At that time, Health was called Wellness. So Hospitals were useful. Oil was used to manufacture Tickets (If you wonder why there are Q1, to Q5 Tickets, well, that’s the reason why). Diamonds were used for facture Gifts (Which increased your wellness)
Countries had 2 resources in their core regions (One High and One Medium)
I remember Mexico having Grain in the Valley of Mexico and Oil in Southeast of Mexico. I think Austria had Iron in Lower Austria, and Wood or Grain somewhere else.
In those times, your Companies (Just as today) were only created in some regions. And if you wanted to work, you needed to be in that region.
Also, productivity was based if the region has High, and Medium on a particular resource. High (Productivity) Regions were very important as only those regions were able to produce material. Medium Regions were also important, but not very important as High Raw Regions.
And how did you produce something from there?
Easy. You only needed to create a Company there (You need to travel to the region)
It looks like this:
Also in those times, Private Organizations existed, so any citizen or Organization were able to create companies.
I had 2 Organizations
Org. Mexicana de Yhamilitz and Yhamilitz Osterreichen Korps
So, I remember I distributed my Companies in these 2 Orgs.
Also, as you can see in the image from the company, Companies sold their products, not citizens. So The economic value from those regions were so much higher.
Also, there were 2 very important regions on that time:
Liaoning (Lion King) and Heilongjiang (Hello Kitty)
So the most epic battles of that time were not fought between countries, but for regions.
But time changes, so epics also change.
Now... Look at this:
I think the Admins should now make Air Battles Epic.
😃
So tell me guys, what makes a battle epic for you?

Previse texta😂
I remember players talking about battle plans and orders with excited anticipation... those were epic battles.
Also when we needed to defend a region from an attack, so we tried to have whatever we need to give our maximum on that battle.
Good

Old time 😃
ONLY V1 IS MEMORABILIA.
Now's campaign no tactic at all
Beautiful.
Thanks for these old memories!
I still love the old battle page 🙂
Hospitals and stuff!
Hello Kitty battle
Rhone Alps, Liaoning and Heilongjiang was epic, but there's no battle more epic than a battle against the ADMINS. In WSR, the Admins gave Romania 220k wall (when the highest damage was 300), yet Indonesia still managed to came on top and be the victor. that was EPIC!
My personal favorite was Battle for Lower Austria. Poland tanked 200 millions of damage for us, back when D4 BH medal was 10k damage..
o7 for the articles. Keep on writing mates.

What an amazing guy that dude on CRO side SH 😉
Jk v + s + e
Agreed 😃
That air damage.. on both sides.. just wow..
I was trying to find the link for Patagonia battle to compare..
Less dmg there than in france. Main reasons are less stingers (~950 vs 2000+) and no 50% dmg boosters. But there was a lot more fighting than last night...that r8 is unforgetable

Now that guy will he in the eBooks of History.
You are too kind 😉 I am glad you enjoyed the "show" 😃
