[DC] World in flames
Nikola barun Jurisic
Sup all?
We can all agree that most of the last few years we lacked some fun in this game. Except several strong attempts by big buyers like zdlemmy and Colin we've missed action in this game and the world has been turning more and more to a one-sided domination game. The rest of the countries on the weaker side could just negotiate deals with their occupators. It looks like things are changing now again. With the Admin's recent changes which were announced as bringing back the balance to the game in one of my previous articles we're now reminding ourselves that there is some fun here afterall.
Invasion on Russia
It all started several days ago when Turkey, Albania and Italy has proposed Russia, member of Pacifica as their AS/NE target. Russia is also a traditional ally of Bulgaria and Macedonia and that's what makes them special target. It was interesting to see what countries are fighting for Russia and what are fighting against them. Backed by Colin's CO Russia didn't stand too much chances against the trio which invaded them. At that point there were no counter-reaction from neither Bg/Mkd nor Pacifica.
Airstrike laws by Albania and Italy:
https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/law/Albania/196427
https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/law/Italy/196430
NE law by Turkey
https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/law/Turkey/196420
Seven days later Russia can't be found on the map, while the trio keeps marching on the other Pacifica members. First few battles required huge spending on both sides, but Russia couldn't cope with the trio and in this moments they are wiped, their RW's aren't being successful and the trio is focused on their next targets.
East part of Russia is occupied by Italy, the middle part by Albania and the western side of Russia is under the Turkish occupation. In this moment there were still no reaction by anyone else outside of those four countries.
Trio's expansion
After successfully taking over Russian land Albania, Italy and Turkey defended few RW's in there and soon after Albania has proposed Finland as their Natural enemy. Only 10 seconds before Finland did the same for them. It looks like Finland has been expecting this or they wanted to do that first, but Albania was faster.
After those two NE's were proposed this war became much bigger as it included more than two countries on the both side of bipolar world. Soon after that Sweden has jumped in to protect their allies from Finland, but by the looks of their first battles Albania will be strong enough to cope with both of Scandinavian countries.
The war has moved from Russia to Scandinavia where Albania fights both Sweden and Finland. I wasn't sure should we call this a world war or just one of the big ones until Turkey proposed another Pacifica member - Poland as their Natural enemy. In the same time they showed some admirable ninja skills to declare war on Finland too to help Albania in Scandinavia.
So, basicly in this moment we have four Pacifica members fighting three Anti-Asteria/Pacifica members which enough to be called a World War.
World in flames
It's going to be interesting to see how the war will continue as now there are some new NE laws being proposed. First one was Spanish (rogue) proposal to NE USA, after which USA has proposed NE on Spain too which followed by Bulgarian NE on USA. If another front opens this might grow to one of the biggest world wars seen so far. However, I'd expect things to keep going on only in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and Russia so my prime focus will be there.
Can Turkey cope with both Finland and Poland while keeping Russia occupied?
Can Albania keep conquering the whole Scandinavia in a direct war vs. Finland and Sweden?
Will Italy do something else except keeping Russia wiped?
Italy is one of the most underestimated countries in this game, they've been under long occupations by Slovenians backed with the whole alliance, but Italian firepower is kinda big too. If they find a way (and there are few possibilities) to join in the Scandinavian front this war might gets even more interesting. Also, USA has the border with Turkey, a country which directly attacked Russia.
The options are numerous and there are several strategies each side could go with.
I'm also interested in what is Asteria doing whole this time, what's Pacifica up to and is there any way to include more anti-Asteria countris in this World War. We're definitly watching the most interesting battles this year and it's going to be fun to watch the world in flames.
Yours,
Don Croata

eUSA: a reliable partner to all his allied countries and Pacifica members!
😃
(Hope sarcasm was detected!)
''I'm also interested in what is Asteria doing whole this time''
Keeping the Axis-occupied and proceeding with de-Nazification process of the occupied countries.
Tebi nije dobro
After USA its your turn
Just don't come alone, bring the daddy with ya 🙂
It hasn't been our turn in 3 years, so you have plenty of time.
''I'm also interested in what is Asteria doing whole this time''
Farming, like they did for more than 2 years... 🙂
Yeah farming the most powerful nations on the opposite side.
Dio leba ti, ajd objesi se za struk paradajza xD
Actually Asteria was involved in the most important campaigns over the past 2 years, maybe we have made it look easy wining but it was a lot of work
In the last 2 years you say... Hmm let me count how many "important" campaigns was there in the last 2 years!
...
...
Yeah about 0 xD
Just countless TW-s, NAP-s and sh!t ! ! !
I get that you have 80%+ of dmg here, and that you guys find it amusing to have that kind of power! I have been in that situation when i played for Serbia some time ago!
And when we "won" the game, we were unbeatable(like Serbia still is), i decided that i don`t belong there anymore!
Why?
Cause what is the point of staying on the stronger side? You just keep killing the game and forcing others to leave cause they can never win(or at least come close to winning)...
Whenever i give somebody an answer like this, they almost never reply cause they know this is truth and they just go over it cause they "can`t do sh!t" 🙂, or they say that "weaker side" should try to repair relationship with other countries so they can match Asteria!
Which is of course pure bullsh!t, cause everybody wants some regions and bonuses and they will bend for Asteria 🙂
Anyway you can keep playing as you wish, but only with yourself with bunch of stupid TW-s and NAP-s. There will be no real wars without changes(made by you guys or Admins) 😉 !
Enjoy!

Just from my term as SG
4 AS against MKD (not alliance member) ...crazy fighting in the middle of the night, a lot of coordination in alliance and with our partners.Solved in a couple of days but it was crazy fighting September last year.
3 days later all of Adriatica attacks Ser - AS down as we prioritized, couple of days later solved.Crazy battles solved.
Greek theather- long heavy battles coordinated with our partners.
Hungary against Romania - crazy fighting and epics for a week.Repeled Chile AS, Croat NE, Cyprus AS, Croat NE in the space of a couple of weeks.
South Amer campaign -Arg, Chile deleted.Br joins -deleted.
Paraguay deleted-Trico, Admiral M,Kazetro deal millions each in air rounds for a month, tens of millipns in CO.Worked with a lot of countries in this campaign.
Greece tries to help and sends AS in Slo -12 millions in cc in one battle for Greece.
Italy AS -Ikki sets new records in each round..still a crazy record for damage unlikely to be passed very soon.
These are just highlights.
Farming you say...what game have you been playing?
ALBANIA AND COLIN IN THIS GAME
Voted!
/Me grab chips
Watch out for the Russian Winter.
Many potential countries tried their luck and suffered the consequences.
Winter is about for real
😛
Well in here they can't burn their own cities to keep the invadors out though...
They did much more than just burn fields and cities.
They put a lot of balls and heart.
The huge and hard Red Army.
but that´s another history 😛
here they love farming
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Members of Pacifica will support some allies more than others so that why this trio can do what they want..
But then you'd expect their other allies who share borders with those who wipe them would help them?
My personal opinion, I am not an official or in any regard connected to Macedonian Govt or its politics, and do not represent the whole nation, just myself.
Find me the last, or probably the only time when Macedonia and Russia had MPPs, and then call us "allies".
Well Russia considers both MKD and BG as their allies..
Of course they do now, lol..
Oh... Seems like Don Croata is new Russian MoFA and he makes some loud statements on behalf of russian ppl. Keep on and make us laugh.
We helped MKD a few times in the past and I remember a huge MKD community in Russia long time ago when we enjoyed eRep v1. They even had a few congressmens in the eRussian Congress that time. However, we are more or less neutral right now and MPP with MKD is not under discussion. Though, they free to fight in our battles and we would thank them for any help.

I do believe the enabler of the invasion is more Colin's money than the recent MPP deployment update, no matter how much I liked the latter. The invasion probably won't have a lasting effect, more vice versa and the status quo gets entrenched. Why? Any nation following Colin is effectively burning any bridge they have towards the biggest non-Asteria alliance they have, nullifying any long term chance for change in the wider system. The invasion will go on precisely as long as Colin is funding it, after which it will be a return to the state of affairs before it, with the exception of solidified alliance lines.
I hope they don't come crying about ebil Asterian farmville when they themselves do everything they can to prolong the status quo in alliance matters, from forming Andes to jumping on board of any and every momentary thrill without long term plans.
Good article nevertheless, voted.
Well for me, the more interesting part is MKD and BG doing absolutely nothing to protect their allies in Russia, same as Pacifica not getting involved directly. It looks like Russian's politics to be on the two sides isn't having effect they'd wanted. I'm not saying their politics is a bad thing, for one I understand them completely because the world didn't shaped the way they hoped for. Ireland was in similar situation.
But now, when the troubles started, none of their allies were their for them.
Also, if Colin (even though he's not the only one) keeps this tempo for a while (and it should be getting more easier with time going by) it's going to be interesting to see what the others are gonna do.
So far, Bulgaria who is like "Pacifica has no balls" didn't do anything to show their balls for an ally they consider to be friendly.
In the meantime, I'm grateful to Colin for bringing the fun back and exposing some cards on all the sides. Can't wait for more!
The most interesting part for me is your deluded idea of us helping someone in Pacifica, especially someone that we never had MPP with thus is not our ally.
Tbh 4/6 of those Pacifica nations that have border are involved in the conflict directly.
I agree this all has exposed cards. That's refreshing. But if one wants more long lasting change, it won't happen this way.
You are wrong Don. FYLOL helped indirectly Albania to launch the NE. Or you think they are actually fighting each other over there?
>It looks like Russian's politics to be on the two sides
Could you be so kind to name those sides?
But before you say smth, please, check Russian MPP list.
And the only non-Asteria alliance that is under siege now, did an extraordinary job at breaking the status quo you speak of, implying it will continue after this.
Sorry, but your comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
USA is doomed to be and will be anti-Serbia whether they like it or not, and as it is, USA long ago made themselves be anti-Macedonia, Bulgaria, Indonesia and Spain, etc.. So.. Yeah..
#Pussyfica
I'm waiting BG and MKD to show the balls they are so proud of though 😉
Except for taking over the small countries I haven't seen them doing something more than listening to their masters...
Yoy should really start checking stuff before you talk.
Open erepublik.deutschland and check timeline of wars for the past year minimum.. If you consider Argentina and greece among others, as small countries, then we have nothing to talk about..
Macedonia lost their balls quite some time ago, since they had some people that would sell everything just to be on Serbia`s side! They wanted to join them so freaking hard, and it was quite funny being there with Macedonians and watching those people pushing towards Serbia...
I played for many countries on various occasions, and Macedonia will always be the one i will gladly help, but not when they let someone to rule them...
I'm not following you on the first paragraph. Rephrase?
Second one isn't too correct either on the Serbian side ^~^ Other stuff applies in current context.
Oh, cool @TheCrow7
Now go talk to Romper and zdlemmy about that, and then come back and comment again on who did what, who liked who, and who pushed someone away, in order to keep their "bromance" with certain other country.
P.S. Crnogorac?
It's fun to see MKD and BG trying to be BFF with Serbia so hard they forget that's not the way you get safety.
When all the cards are exposed BG and MKD will be left alone...again...
First paragraph is sarcasm of course.
If second one is not correct, where is murican-serbian MPP? Is there any hope for it? Lets ask the serbs.
Wow you have MPP with Serbia, that's so good and safe..
You forget that Serbia isn't the one who makes decisions anymore...it's Romania 😉
@DC dont worry, we have Romania MPP as well 😃
Hail exAdminlandia o7
Why would I want to break a status quo that is currently benefiting me and my nation, bar for certain bank account hiccups? We consciously moved towards it during last winter and spring.
@Severus i do not need lemmy or Romper or anyone to tell me anything... I run my account(s) 🙂
I watched how your country and their citizens act for long time, so i pretty much know who did what, when and why! 😉
C R N O G O R A C sends his regards, and so do many others before and after him 🙂 !
Pacifica? Non Asterian alliance? You are joking? Look at your mpps better man please. And finally it was Pacifica who attacked them so just stop with the BS and go ask Prophet whether your Serbian and Romanian puppets or not. Cheers.
My man you're taking these things too emotionally. It blurs your vision. Slow down.
Let me ask a couple of questions. At which point did Pacifica attack proSyndicate? What were the events before it? What was the alliance situation on, say, January, who was fighting who?
E hmmm are you joking? Who attacked TR UKR and CYPRUS?
I am well aware. I'm making you to connect the dots. When was that? What happened before it? Who fought who in January?
You are not connecting the dots you are being either funny or disrespectful of our intelligence
