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?
