eUSA Needs new citizens for Guerilla Warfare
As America reels with the loss of California and our Croatian allies. It is obvious that America needs to improve the use of our most valuable national resource. Our new citizens. Yes friends, new citizens the lifeblood of our economy, the future field marshals of the eUS Military and the thing that will help us win the war against the Russians and their allies. . . if they don’t quit in their first week. New citizens are those that fill our forums and chat channels with thousands of questions that we have all answered before. How do I eat? How do I get a job? Why is my Health at 40? Why am I in California, Russia?
The Problem eRoad Kill
New Citizens have no frame of reference and are like children who wander into the middle of a movie and want to know the storyline. They are lost and confused despite the fact most of them are eager to start their new e-life and kick some Russian butt.
The problem now is that their eagerness to get involved has turned so many new citizens into e-roadkill, the unfortunate consequence of getting run over by a Russian tank.
If these new citizens manage to find our DOD Citizen Orders, from underneath the Serbian troll attacks, they are given instructions to deploy to various regions and assigned the basic strategy of defend the capital region from attack. That’s an easy task right? Login deploy to the capital, exit the battleground DONE!
So while many of these new citizens deploy nobly at last login to capital regions in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii or even California . . . many are waking up the next day to find their health at 40 finding themselves on the wrong side of a Russian Tank attack just after server reset while they were asleep.
Without gold to pay for health they can’t work effectively, they can’t train effectively and they can’t help defend eUSA effectively. Sure if they wait a full day they can probably reset to 70 but what do you do in the mean time? If they work, they screw up our businesses if they don’t work they can’t earn one of the few medals still left for new players.
So what is the average no attention span, American to do? Easy answer, they throw up their hands and say, F$*& this Shit! Why am I going to play a game where I can’t do anything and eSuicide leaving eRepublik for other games that don’t necessarily require money to participate at an entry level? When this happens we are wasting a potentially powerful resource.
The Solution Guerrilla Warfare
Now we know turnover has always been a problem and integrating new citizens has been an important goal of the eUS Department of Interior and many veterans have written countless articles on how to succeed. However, as a country I do not think we have figured out how to use these young child soldiers to help put Ivan in his place.
The Marines have a motto. . . that every Marine is a Rifleman. . . well I believe that in these dark times we need every citizen to be a guerrilla war fighter.
Yes Friends, we must return to the military strategies of our forefathers. Strategies like the battle of Cowpens, in the Revolutionary war where citizen militias fired their 2 shots against the British regulars and then turned tail and ran until the professional army could come to the rescue.
Here is what I think we MUST do to use new eUS citizens effectively in our wars.
First, make sure they find and read DOD Citizen Orders by subscribing and voting every day
A 1 day old citizen is not going to do anything fighting against an online Russian Field General in a Q5 Tank, who drops 1.49 gold for a rocket launcher. Even with a decent quality weapon, that recruit is going to turn into nothing but eRoad Kill.
We must tell them to do what they CAN do.
What is that you ask? Well lets start by taking Russian tiles during Russian off peak hours in any battle that they can. Taking tiles while boring performs an important service to the eUS without a lot of risk.
Let’s steer new citizens to IRC channels where citizen militia leaders can coordinate and coach them to deploy to an empty spot in the map AWAY from the enemy and start moving slowly to make the map turn from red to blue.
If an enemy logs on and starts to approach while they are clearing tiles the new citizen can RETREAT from the battle and then redeploy to another battle, or if there are no other battles going on the guerilla warrior could wait to another time when the enemy leaves to redeploy to that same location and continue his sabotage.
Yes, yes I understand its unamerican to retreat but this is war people and its better then being eDead and of no use to our country.
Let new citizens help by taking tiles and then living to fight another day. Then when they are done for the night RETREAT before they log off every night.
Every Russian tile taken when they sleep is one more tile they have to take the next day in their mass attack. Every tile that is Blue for us is two more minutes that Ivan has to sit and wait to take it back.
This gives the eUS something very valuable. . . Time and frees up our professional forces to coordinate on battles that are ending to maximize our success in multiple theaters.

You might start at 70 the next day but if the Russians attack at 00:01 after server reset and they are still deployed they will login with a mortal wound and be at 40 health. I know cause its happened to me.

Great article Jasper!!! Voted and subbed.
Great Article. Voted and Subbed.
People need weapons
Thanks for the comments, I have edited this to take in account the fact that redeploying to a battle you already fought in takes you back to the same location you were before.
great article voted subbed
this would actually help us a lot. if this proves to be effective it should be used. also you may want to add a caution about enemy helicopters. they move 3 tiles at a time so people should check any enemy units nearby before moving. this way the new people taking empty tiles wont be ambushed by a heli. (to check simply click on the tile the enemy is on for those who didn't know this)
@ Timoleon
you don't need guns to take empty tiles then retreat when an enemy is heading in your direction .
Subbed for generating a good new tactic.
Yeah, my first battle of this new V2 war module had me getting rolled by a tank (and that's with some training already under my belt). I think I might go for this guerrilla style until I have gained enough strength to do some actual damage.
Vote+sub. Nice article. kkep writing.

Never underestimate the value of annoying your enemy.
> Every Russian tile taken when they sleep is one more tile they have to take the next day in their mass attack.
Right on! I call this the "whack-a-mole" strategy because it keeps 'em from popping up later and doing damage behind the lines.
THANK YOU for telling me what I can do as a noob, DOD or someone should have these instructions in their bulletins
Superb article! We may save our asses yet this way.
good suggestion. voted and subscribed. keep thinking!
terrific idea... keep up the good work (:
Now we wont give free kills to the russians.
Also can we ensure that all US troops are armed with some type of weapon? Any weapon is better then no weapon, as people with weapons can at least do damage. No weapon = you do 1-2 dmg tops
Sick of seeing our new players get mowed down by tons of pro russians/ serbians
yea what happens when they get bored or distracted and are sitting in a feild waiting for a russian tank to run them over?
Taking tiles aint that boring because anyone can pop up right next to you hehe.
Well, what the low level Ecitizens could also do to help the war effort is join the factories.... in World War 2 women who were though useless in war, proved the men wrong by helping in the factories by producing steel and manufacturing all the resources need to keep the war effort running, such as making weapons, buildings tanks, and constructing Air planes. The low level eCitizens who are though useless, could do this and btw, has anyone ever thought of developing companys souling based towards the goverment? We could use our tax dollars to pay those people, and itd be cheap labor which would help the war effort.
btw, I used to play erepublik back in like day 340 then i quit and now im back on, man the US use to be alot better, anyways, some one please tell me if we do have somthing like a govermant company, I just know we didnt 650 days ago haha.
what I mean by cheap labor is people could work in the Goverment owned factories for minimum wage making Rifles, Tanks, Artillery, Air Units and Defense systems. It'd be honest work and itd be helping with the war effort.
Very interesting article.
Voted. ~
Mel Gibson? Isn't he the one who beats women.
How many people located in eUS have been rejected when they applied US citizenship? US Army? What will they do, if one morning they find themselves in Russian America and the newsflash says: "Fight!". They will fight, just for fun, just because of ... they dont care!
In short - You have a great potential, but Your e-american pride or stupidity won't let to use it.
PS! Yes, I have applied citizenship twice, TC 3 times. Today I rallied with my tank in Alaska agains Ruskies, tomorrow - who knows...
I knew it would come down to this...Sigh
I have thrown down 20 gold of the 50 ive been able to amass since ive started beating the shit out of russians in the last two days. This game is fucked if the attrition rate is that much higher than the ability to make money... WHich they pretty much have removed from the game thinking people are going to spend money on them....HAAAA HAAA HAAA if it does happens they really deserve to win this pos, not like its real life anyway. Let em have this one if they want to spend the $ on it since our taxes really go to protecting us from dipshits like them everyday.
"shut the fuck up, donnie." like a child wandering into a movie with no frame of reference whatsoever.... voted for clever movie allusion
"They screw up our businesses" Do ya think that in the midst of a national crisis that the business owners might wanna forgoe their cherished profits for just a day or two ?
