Greetings peons, today we are going to learn how to fight smart. In our previous article we covered some of the very basic parts of the military module: how the damage works, the different kinds of rounds, and of course, how wars are won. Today, we are going to delve into the mystical world of how best to fight.
First and foremost, we need to remember that whilst there are two forms of fighting (air and ground), both operate on the same framework. This framework decides who wins the round and gains Campaign points, and it also decides how many campaign points are awarded every minute. The basics of this framework are summarised below;
You will note from this framework, a couple of important things;
1) The first 90 minutes of war gives an equal number of points to the final 30 minutes of war.
2) There is no additional prize for winning with 70% or 80% of the wall, all you need is 50.01%
3) The amounts of damage involved in wars, are never below the millions: so for ground rounds, new players rarely have the resources to influence the course of a battle
Thus, most seasoned troops have a very simple few rules, that have been packaged together, and termed fighting smart.
1) Never waste your damage: if the wall is over 55% (as shown in the picture below), and your energy isn't full: think about holding your damage (not fighting yet.)
2) When deciding if your damage is needed, remember, unless it's millions: it isn't going to change the course of the battle - so if you're a new player - fight for your own missions, not a victory
3) Before you hit, make sure you are fighting in an important, or recommended battle. The Government, The President, and your Military Unit all have ways of recommending battles; make sure you're fighting in line with these priorities. These are all visible on your homepage:
To ensure that your Military Unit priorities are displayed to you at all times, it's necessary to change your eRepublik display options, but it's very quick, and very easy. Edit your game options here, so that they look like the picture shown below, and then your Military Unit priorities will be displayed on your homepage without you needing to navigate to any other page.
Outside of this, the final way to fight smart is quite simple: wherever possible, fight only in air battles. The Government has regular campaigns to reward those who do, not only because it's a relatively new way of fighting in the game (when compared with the ground rounds, which have soldiers who have been building strength for 10 years already), but also because the formula used to calculate damage is much fairer - air rounds only take account of your rank: so if you gain a rank which is the same as someone 10 years older, you'll do the same damage. You gain rank by fighting: so the more you fight, the quicker you'll catch up with the older players. As well as that, an air round gives double the campaign points of a ground round! For further information on the programs which reward players for fighting, and the additional rewards given to players who focus on air rounds, you can read the details about such programs here and here
