Historical perspective

Hello, articles regarding military strategic always comes in time of war. I have some free time to kill so i would like talk about how we can reach sumpreme victory and the importance of psyciologic warfare.
Claiming territory and conquering, it is obviously the easy part of dominating another nation in this game. Brute force is enouth but how to sustain your military superiority? conquerd people rarly accept there faith as submissive survents to another force. So there are diffrent path to choice in order to achive victory. You can, if you lack military might to keep the ground make yourself, in this case eSweden out to be the better choice. Make the conquerd people want to be in eSweden as a intergrated province. Ancient Rom rewarded citizens who fought on there behalf citizenships of varius degrees in order to motivate. If eSweden in this case could make ABC understand that they would profit under eSwedish rule the risk of revolt would be limited.
This is in this game a very hard task to complete but its not necessary that you achive this only with peace. The image of eSweden from the perspective of ABC is what matters. We need to establish ourself as the true force and the undisputed leader. Winning a RW fight with 80 % is not always a drain in Resources, it shows the people in ABC that eSweden spares nothing to brake any form of resistance they offer. The principle that you should never enter negotiation first is something the Romans heald dear to their hearts and also boost the image of eSweden. We never negotate on equal tearm, we should always demand the enemy to be in a submissive state of mind before considering any deals.
Before the Romans took any negotiation the emperor use to have a arme near him in full military station, statues of gold around him and his generals sitting mounted on horses. The image this gives makes the enemy negotiator weaker and more likly to accept a deal that is not in there favour.
May be difficult to apply these ancient strategies from RL to a modern game but the concept of psychological warfare is most important when your arme isent enouth, the Roman arme were never enouth but they gave the world an image. The knowledge that if anyone would oppose the will of our empire the revenge would be extermination. No resources was spared until the enemy were beaten scared and begging for mercy. You can eather make an example of them or work on making us look like the better choice, insted of resistance, the would perhaps contemplate accepting the superiority of eSweden.
Im not telling you how and where to fight, i have zero connection with the headquarter but this is still something to have in mind and could bring some new elements in the other singe minded warfare. If you dont have enouth swords or guns, alter the enemys perspective of the war and there enemy.

Lots about Romans... where is the Roman empire now?
Good article! v+s
jag tyckte att detta var riktigt smart faktist Big Vote!!!
Lite stavfel här och där, men annars bra. Vote!
sorry, but you don't have the guts to rule anyone, or be superior.
The main problem being that sooner or later a major force will rise amongst the majority population, proclaiming supremacy in one way or the other over the people in those countries you would either call "in union with" or "occupied by", in this case, eSweden. We have ehistorical perspectives on this too, "Homonavia" for example, started out all great and everyone liked the situation (almost), but just a mere few weeks into the union voices were raised that Swedish should be the only official...
...only official languange in the union, and that the "lesser" peoples language and old customs are secondary to those we use in eSweden. There were even parties and organizations formed with the sole purpose to proclaim eSwedish superiority over those of the brotherpeoples in the union. Fact: being occupied and occupying others always hurts one side or both, every country has the right to govern themselves. No more oppression! No more imperialist promises of utopia under one flag! Break free!
No people will prosper under the ruling flag of another. Every player is made free, every people free to forge their own future, not in chains by another, but bonded together against opressors and imperialism of so-called "better nations, better peoples". A long chain always has more weak links, whereas single links together may link with who or what they want. Freedom! Socialism! Unity trough peace, not hate!
And at last, a vote for bringing this interesting topic up, something not related to "attack this, attack that!" or "Giefing free weps 4 all lol" that otherwise dominate the media.
Thanks for that great comment Raticon!
Dreamers You! Lithuanians will win fight for own country! They always do. But You will get a neighbour eternal enemy. Do you really not understand for who is it useful? Just like in real life...divide and conquer....We survive, but You will be next...I think - your neighbour from east play this party, not Sweden.
There is this one thing you forget though - the enemies of Rome were never quite allied with one another. There rarely was a sense of nation states as is the case of the ABC-countries right now. And above all, Romans had some civilization to bring to the table. What does eSweden have?
pho3nix, Valnad.
I just made some theoretical stuff thats hard to apply to a game like eRepublik so i dont belive this will actually happend or can happen. It was mostly for fun, but we got Valnad and that may convince some🙂
