Join the new world

Welcome dear Argentinians and erepublikans to this week's "Kelstein’s guide to the eWorld" – special edition covering the Resources Wars.

This week I focused more on Resource Wars than on specific battles itself - main reason is because most of the battles were "arranged" to go one way or another - with few exceptions!

This edition was done with help from Roadie and for this reason all the endorse proceedings (x2) will go to him.

So relax, take your towel and enjoy the guide throughout the events of the days 2625-2632 of the eWorld. (Last updates are made at 13:00 erep time – 2632 erep day)



1. Romania

Day 2625 - Resource Wars started BIG!

and in less than 16 hours Romania had all their core assured! What a day for Romania!

They also announced that all the extra tokens will be given to allies/friends - no selling - first 3 in this order: Argentina; Greece; Serbia.

Day 2626/2627 - Romania donated tokens to Argentina & Greece.

Day 2628 - Romania is till caught in the general resource wars in order to get spare tokens to help their allies/friends - but probably the main topic of the day is not wars but taxes: "What taxes should they have in the future? - considering the new acquired bonuses"

Later on 2628 a law to change the minimum salary was proposed in Romania – and the result 22-18 say a lot about the different opinions in Romania about this law.

Day 2629 – Romania is fighting Republic of Moldova in Chisinau – a battle that is supposed to be lost by Romania stays at the moment at the score of 86-79 for Moldova (read the orders people!)

Day 2630- A peace proposal was accepted, ending the TW with R.Moldova

Day 2631- By the end of the day Romania got a total of 31 Tokens, the last tokens were donated to: Montenegro-2; Portugal-1; USA-5; Ukraine-5; Canada-1; China-2; France-4.

Day 2626 - At start of the day Croatia is missing one more region in order to join Romania in the list of the countries that finished the tournament.

Day 2628 - Croatia became an empire...hmm I think I missed the moment they lost their status!

Day 2629 – Croatia is playing with the empire status – losing and re-gaining it every few hours

Croatia is probably has one of the 2 interesting wars this week vs Brazil (other one being Chile vs Argentina) – They are fighting Brazil in Manaus this morning – but the wars just started (tho’ it achieved epic battle status)

6. Argentina

Day 2625 - Argentines are relaxing under the Chilean occupation - there are no wars in Argentine after 4 hours into the Resource Wars.

Day 2625 – just in the evening at 10 erep hour – Argentina starts their first war (lost).

Despite an awful day for Argentina with no tokens won - Romania announced their first token donation will go to them - I suppose that should happen during day 2626.

In the evening of 2626 – Argentina has just one resource won thanks to the token they got from Romania.

Day 2627 - Argentina starts the day with just one resource missing - In my opinion shows a lot about how respected is Argentina by its Allies - they are in the same situation as Greece after 2 days of competition with almost no wars fought!

Day 2627 - Argentina managed to win their first battles this week against Chile - and they are back on the MAP (region of Cuyo – final score: 94-0)

Day 2628 - Argentina starts the day with all resources allocated and a RW against Chile in Cuyo!(won) And a NE proposal on Chile!
NE proposal(passed)

Day 2629 – Back on the map with 2 regions – and kickin’; In the morning Argentina attached Chile in Zona Sur! and was also winning a RW against Chile in Argentine Northwest.

Day 2631 - Argentina managed to reclaim all they're original regions, the day ends with RW in Norte Grande from Chile, with the score 72-6 for Chile.

Day 2632 – in the prime time of South America another battle between Chile and Argentina has started in Cuyo (most probably it will end after the publish time of this edition!)

7. USA

Day 2625 - I know everyone is envying USA for the number of "core regions they have" but that also means they need to do tokens fast! To choose what they want! so here is how USA started the Tournament.

Day 2625 - Chile - probably one of the most organised (strategically) countries in the eWorld in the last month started the Tournament with
Battles: Argentine Northwest (vs Bolivia); Pampas (vs Uruguay) Mesopotamia (vs Paraguay) North East States (vs Nigeria) - all wining
RW: South East States (vs Nigeria) - loosing

Day 2626 - Chile starts the day with all the resources won (just like Romania - but later!) so from now on - all the tokens won by Chile will be "spare tokens"

Day 2627 - Chile lost their control over Argentina for the first time in a week (correct me if I'm wrong) and as a result Argentina end the day back on the map.

I am a big fan of the media module in erepublik so I will start recommending articles every week in my newspaper.

This week recommendations are:

1. Razboiul resurselor in direct for Romanian readers (but there are tables and data that you can understand no matter language you speak) - very good article that followed the journey of Romania and other countries in the Resources War.

2. Resource wars Tables with the new Resources Situation - updated quite often.

3.About the world in January – World in January! a very nice article to put someone up to speed with the main events of the last month.

Permanent recommendation:

weekly world statistics made by elbandido (he usually publishes them on Tuesday).

That’s all for this week, any feedback/suggestions/corrections are appreciated and will be taken into consideration - you can send it to me by PM or just a simple comment (please try to make it in English/Romanian).
