V1 and Resistance War

Day 327, 07:07 • Published in Norway Finland • by Erwin Schauman

The following text is the currently official way how the Resistance War will work under the new system:

The Resistance War

Each Citizen in a region that is occupied can start a resistance war (if he has needed gold). The cost to declare a resistance war is 300 gold and after that the money are deleted from that Citizen account and battle begins in that region.

The war should be between the country that conquered that region and a resistance army and should appear in the list of wars.

Every Citizen can watch the battle. In order to Join the battle you need to respect these rules:

* you are a Citizen of the country that owns the region
* your strength is bigger than 0
* your wellness is bigger or equal to 30%
* if you have at least 25 EP or if you had bought a Unlock features pack - -- if condition is not applied, a specific message will appear.

The Citizens can choose which side they can fight. After 24 hours the region can be "Secured" or "Set free" depending on the Defensive points. If the region will be 'Set free' by the Resistance soldiers than the region will belong to the original country and will happen the same as if that country conquered the region. If the region is secured than the Resistance war is over. If all the regions were conquered by another country, that the first region who will be set free will become the new capital of the former country that is now rebuilding. No Country President will exist in that country until next president elections.

During a resistance war, a new resistance war cannot be started in the same region. During a resistance war another country can attack the same region and will be created a separate battle for same region. If the attacking country is the country for which the resistance war happens, and the rebels are victorious (so the region belongs to the attacker), than all the battles in that region will be automatically closed.

Viewing differences from the Battle page:

* instead of the attacker country and it's allies will appear the region name and the username of the citizen that started the resistance war
* you need to choose your side (fight for freedom/ fight to secure)
* the battle may end only if it is secured by the occupying country, conquered by the resistance or occupied by another country.

The Battle System:

The battle system is based on the soldiers skill level, his wellness, the quality of his weapon and his rank. In addition, the battle system also uses a bonus system: a pop up window will open, and asks you 5 questions one after the other. You have 20 seconds time to answer each question, and each question you get right reduces the amount of wellness you will lose during the fight to a minimum of 10. If you answer all of the questions wrong, you will lose 35 Wellness.

The first three questions will be related to Finland and should be easy for most Finns. The last two, however, are random questions from other countries, which are next to impossible to answer correctly (without quickly browsing wikipedia).
Prepare to lose 20 Wellness during the battles.

If you answer to a question correctly in 5 seconds, you will receive a bonus called "shotgun bonus" that will increase your damage dealing potential for the fight. If you get all 5 questions right and use less than 5 seconds to answer each question, then this bonus will be 5x as big. Don't get your hopes up though, since the bonus per question is quite little. I would say it's about +5 damage per each shotgun answer.

The Wall or "the natural resistance" of the Resistance War region

The "natural resistance" of the region will be represented by a wall that has 100,000 hitpoints. Needless to say, it will take quite some time to bring it down. During my first attempt with Q1 weapon, Wellness 80, and by getting 3 shotgun anwers, I was able to make 13 points of damage. After receiving couple of promotions, buying a Q4 weapon, increasing my Wellness to 100, and getting 5 shotgun answers, the damage was still only 58. At Captain level and with skill 3.9.

As you are surely aware by now, gaining our independence will be a difficult task, and we have to muster *all* of our resources to accomplish this task. It will take days to destroy the wall. The path to freedom will be long and painful, and it seems Finland has to walk this path alone. Just like we have been forced to do always.

Nevertheless, now is not the time to become discouraged. We can win this, and the taste of freedom and victory will be ever more sweeter. Prepare yourselves, sons and daughters of Finland! Our day is coming!
