[MoD] National Tournament - The Results
Ministerie van Defensie
Dear soldiers of the Netherlands,
What a week it has been for the Netherlands! The results were extraordinary and above expectations: Not only did we reach rank #11 - the highest rank we've reached this week and more than most of the countries around us -. we also reached a staggering amount of damage of 15,5 billion therefore just reaching the national target of 500% in time. Congratulations for the Netherlands and it's soldiers!
The Ministry of Defence has tirelessly sought to help out our soldiers by organizing, supplying and informing the eDutch soldiers, but most of the efforts are due to the soldiers themselves. And they'll be rewarded! We made an amount of 1025 gold and the government will find ways to hand back some of it to our soldiers in the coming days. We also were also rewarded with a Quality 5 defence shield, promising us a fruitful future in coming wars.
The most active and powerful fighters will be rewarded with weapons and will be listed below. Please send a message to receive your reward!

I hereby want to admit I messed up, and got to 998.86%. But still top of D3 and in the top 10 of % dealt of the higher divisions.
Ouch. That hurts...
Good job to all that contributed. Shame we didn't match previous results and at least reached top 10, or top 5 as me managed in the past.
One question; As was announced by two gov officials they would "give away" their potential reward. I would have expected for them it would have stated - skipped in favour of others - or something like that in stead of the amount of weapons and an extra person listed. That ain't the case as far as I can see so I wonder; Is the reward skipped in favour of someone else or was it just a hollow promise? And yes, receiving the reward and giving it away to a friend is a hollow promise in my book.
One remark; The player that is fond of being the real patriot citizen of eNL according to himself did 0 damage during the tournament yet did manage to steal 1, potentially 2, BH medals this night from fellow citizens despite having been pointed towards this undesired behaviour several times by several players; that kind of behaviour weakens our country. I'll be a little withholding here as the 2nd isn't confirmed yet (1st I saw with my own eyes) but I'm quite sure it was stolen indeed. Another obvious example of him not being patriotic at all. Just selfish. You know who you are. Go sit in a corner and be ashamed of yourself.
Regarding your first question:
This article may still be updated? This is just the first version of the list, published around midnight. Noone will complain if the changes you suggest indeed are made, and they get a bigger reward.
In what division is that BH thief?
What I personally try to do to make clear to everyone that I'm aiming for a BH is to do a lot of damage early on in the battle. Something like the minimal to average amount of damage you'd need for a BH in your division. This will scare away other people who might be interested in a BH. In the end, typically I don't get competition for my BH, so I can win it with relatively low costs. If someone else is dumping a lot of damage early on, than that person may also be using this strategy. If he is stronger than me, I let him have it, otherwise, I send him a PM to warn that I'm taking the BH, and I continue.
Sending this PM is a new development. I didn't do it before and ended up fighting for the BH for a whole round, and we both did around 270 million damage in it. That makes noone happy...
It's a D1 issue. And the strategy you describe about doing damage early on to the amount of the earlier BH's is explained several times to him. Yet he keeps stealing BH's from fellow countrymen.
Probably other players in D1 also do the same. It's hard to live by higher standards than the people who you are fighting with.
Some battles end in a fight for the BH, also in my case. I think I lost a BH two days ago... These fights over a BH are like a lottery. In the end both players have a 50% chance of winning the BH. And it's a waste of damage...
Probably the only way to really learn is to experience losing in the end. Maybe in D1 the people in the first position do not fight back at the end of the round. And then stealing it is an easy way of getting a BH with a well-defined cost.
I did 7,5 million damage in a battle in D1 yet somebody (non Dutch however) managed to go for 9 million and steal it. omg...
I've just listed the potential reward winners and they're free to claim their reward - or not if they want to skip in favour of others. I for one will not claim the reward, nor will Valeyard I presume, but that's not explicitly mentioned [yet].
Do you have the results of the past tournaments by any chance? I for one think we did fine and possibly matched at least the previous tournament results 3 months ago. I'm also not sure if the targets are the same every tournament or are as easy to reach, there's a lot of factors related to that. The #11 spot is great, seeing that above us are mostly elistist societies with hardly a thriving population/community.
I can see no reason why government members can not qualify for awards, as long as they are made public before the tournament. Especially rewards as small as for this tournament.
I am not claiming my reward 🙂
@ GEN. DE LA REY: Some government members (Only Tonie and The Valeyard?) announced they wouldn't claim any of these rewards in the comments of a previous article of the MoD. They are now nevertheless listed above, which means that some of the prices will remain if they do not claim them.
Weekstrom found this a bit strange, and it is hard not to agree.
Might be strange, but hardly worth mentioning, I am sure they both spent in excess of 500 of their own weapons each to do the damage for their country. Why must being part of the government be a punishment? It is not like they get paid?
I don't see my name on the list. May be because it's my 2nd day 😉)
Welcome! This tournament was held all of last week, so you didn't participate yet.
I want to warn you about XP. Getting more XP advances you to the next division, which makes it harder to earn gold through Battle Hero medals. Walhallah has a great series of articles on this topic: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-ranking-that-matters-june-2014--2412914/1/20
In order to get more strength it is very important to save your gold, and spend it on upgrades for the free training ground. Do not spend it on companies, and NEVER spend it on energy. If you want to upgrade training grounds it is best to wait until there is a 45% discount action. These occur typically once a month. Likewise, if you want to upgrade companies (not saying that you should) there are 45% discount actions for those too, simultaneously with the training ground action.
But, of course, this game is also about having fun. So if you want to fight, go ahead. Just know that it's perfectly acceptable not to fight. And realise the value of gold. You can upgrade all training grounds without spending real money, but it will take quite some time to save enough gold. Do not waste it.
