Interesting articles around the world (UPDATED)
Plato
Dear citizens,
Today we are going to take the “What's going on in eRepublik journey.” By surfing through media we find out that there is a massive Fortis/Eden counter-attack on the move right now. Everybody is talking about the California-Ontario-Asturias battles. Three opened fronts in three big regions, three simultaneously epic-battles. Of course, other resistance wars or subsequent battles have been opened in order to split damage away from the important battles.
In this article Desertfalcon is analyzing the war events that occurred in The New World in general, and in North America more specific. This citizen is a true living American historian, his newspaper keeping track of almost all the events that took place since the beginning of the Third World War. Of course, today the battle for California is the most important thing for Americans, but the author notices that USA is winning their regions back. Not long ago USA consisted of only two regions, but today they have 18,halfway towards conquering back their homelands.
In Canada, President Jacobi is trying to encourage his fellow citizens here , stating that this is the big day, the day of revenge, the day to win back their capital-region, Ontario. True it is, the 112.200 points wall needs some braveness, against the explosive-growing France, in a 1v1 battle.
The third big battle is the resistance war started in Asturias, again against France. Spain is trying to get their vital high iron region back, and it seems determined to do so. It's clear that France is going to have a hard time against both Canadians and Spaniards, given the fact that they are not helped by MPPs, but neither Spain nor Canada are.
This official French article seems to put Asturias on the very top of priorities, asking the defense of Asturias at all costs. It's easy to understand why, Asturias` iron is vital for Spain.
California,Ontario and Asturias battles are keeping citizens connected to the New World. It's indeed a massive counter-attack against Peace, and we will see in the following hours how the battles will end. For sure, we'll face some great fights and battalions parades toward the final hours, like usually.
Speaking of wars, we have an important announcement to make: starting day 652 of the New World, Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended.
Regards,
The eRepublik Team
UPDATE:
Maintenance announcement:
eRepublik servers will be inaccessible in day 652 starting 03.00 AM, for about 30 minutes, due to some maintenance work.

HIGH IRON FOR ePOLAND!
sedamnaesti, great
nice
So, patch up a bug with a rules change? Nice style.
Asturias is Spain!
the 6 hours retreat thing fails...
Why the change in retreating? This just cuts off more strategy and fun to the game and leaving to just gold, gold, gold.
Why change the retreat mechanics now in the middle of a major war? You just leave yourself open to more complaints of bias
na atrin jan..in faghat khale bazi balade
I don't get the point of the change... and on top of that the timing is terrible. Seriously, any good reason for it?
FIX THE RETREAT NOW? After our enemies use it to destroy us down ton two regions, you guys are going to get rid of our ability to use the same tactic? ....
"Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended."
Awesome. Yet another patch in the middle of the war that doesn't actually fix anything. It kinda only makes the war module worse. What the hell are you doing there, if I may ask bluntly?
"the retreat with 2 minutes before the battle end, and leaving enemy with huge amount of wasted damage,followed by another attack, should have come to a stop."
Then make it so that wall of wasted damage stays in place for 24 hours?
This changes everything.
Just when you figure out how to navigate this quirky maze of rules, they change them on you again

admins check it out
wonderful...
again we see that PEACE takes advantage of the game mechanics (ie. political takeovers) and when their enemies like America have the opportunity to use those tactics against them, admins change the rules so that they are rendered useless.
fail
Ouch, Admins.. ouch.
what about slavonia??? no interesting articles or what??? you dont want to trouble with croatian or serbian??
not impressed
lol. way to fix the retreat system once anti-PEACE starts using it like PEACE did. No bias here amirites
\o/
ADMIN = GOD
Clearly we have angered them somehow and therefore deserve to be punished with these new mechanics.
this sucks balls
this seems pretty stupid if you ask me. keep it up dear admins and you'll see a plague hitting the eCitizens of the eworld. you'll see them slowly dying one by one...
yeahhhhh
"Speaking of wars, we have an important announcement to make: starting day 652 of the New World, Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended. "
WTF, this is BS... what about training wars and returning the regions and stuff?
You best eTurkey!
I like how they add it to the article in the end.
A change like that should have been clearly sent out instead of buried in an article full of old news.
They know it is a biased modification.
For what it's worth, I'd really consider holding off on that retreat change until you are actually implementing a whole overhaul on the war mod. Doing it now seems awfully suspect as Fortis/Eden are finally on the offensive after 2 months of constant beat-downs. The timing is just really questionable.
¿En el futbol esta permitido que un delantero le pase la pelota al portero?
Porque imaginaros el futbol, si se limitara a los defensas a pasarle la pelota solamente a un delantero. O se prohibiera a los porteros a usar los pies. O se prohibiera a los delanteros usar la cabeza.
Esto es un poco lamentable por cuando esta ocurriendo.
En general, no solo esta noticia.
Imaginaros una tanda de penaltis, en las que elige ese momento el arbitro para pedir que se mueva la raya de sitio ( las fronteras ).
O que durante una proroga por empate de goles, el arbitro pita final y le da la victoria al que ha metido el ultimo gol.
Si durante una proroga el arbitro moviera algunas rayas (fronteras) de sitio, a nadie le importaria.
Y si durante unos penaltis cambiara las reglas de proroga, a nadie le importaria.
Estos admins tienen la costumbre de cambiar las reglas cuando estan en uso por uno de los bandos, en este caso cuando perjudica hacerlo a USA.
Yo no voy a opinar sobre eso, porque igual es casualidad. Pero a mi me dijeron en la escuela que la mujer del cesar no solo debe ser honesta, sino parecerlo. Y lo que parece aqui es bastante feo.
I'm not usually the kind of guy that says "fail" to...well, anything. But seriously? Epic fail.
I'm also not usually the guy who buys into the prescriptivist fault-finding mindset in which one searches for every tiny fault in grammar and spelling...but you guys ARE the administrators of this game. Please learn proper English. "Braveness" is not a word and "like usually" is just plain rubbish grammar.
wow... that's an update.
"Porque imaginaros el futbol, si se limitara a los defensas a pasarle la pelota solamente a un delantero. O se prohibiera a los porteros a usar los pies. O se prohibiera a los delanteros usar la cabeza."
No me he expresado bien. Lo que queria decir con esta metafora futbolistica, es que si se prohibiera a los delanteros a usar la cabeza. Nos perderiamos goles muy bonitos. Y quien sabe si nos perderiamos tambien a genios como Maradona.
Si pelamos a un juego de todo lo que lo hace bonito, .. ¿Que queda? un mecanismo repetitivo, mas un trabajo que un juego.

Fix the bug that a President can retreat from the last region of a country 🙂
>Speaking of wars, we have an important announcement to make: starting day 652 of the New World, Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended
You have got to be kidding me. I can only assume this is a cruel joke.
Itagiba's article is more interesting than that. 🙂
How does the new retreat function make sense?
Retreating is for when the battle is no longer winnable, not for when it's not even halfway done.
Do the admins WANT us to fail? They seem to try and impede us at VERY turn.
lame, lame LAME!
,,Speaking of wars, we have an important announcement to make: starting day 652 of the New World, Presidents will be able to retreat from battles only in the first six hours since the battles beginning. The “retreat” button will be inaccessible after the six hours period has ended. ,,
why? what is your explanation?
admine ne seri
Get ready for a new study tomorrow!!
admin will get more euros from gold
Thanks admin, once again your changes (biased or otherwise) have disadvantaged the anti-PEACE aligned nations. Keep up the good work, and everything will be blue in no time! 😃
"Not long ago USA consisted of only two regions"
The US actually went down to *one* region at one point in time, if only for a short while. 😃

You forget the big battle in Slavonia!
And fix the bug no ?
It's more simple to delete articles or thread in the forum that spoke about bug ?
I'm waiting for your answer... and now already 5 days have gone... and nothing changed...
"How does the new retreat function make sense?

This. Why not just remove the retreat button altogether then? Hard to use it for anything but region swaps.
