[eUK] It's time for us to form a National Military Unit
Addaway
Dear eUK,
For as long as I have played this game, the eUK has suffered badly with its damage direction. We have struggled to get our citizens to hit where needed and to not hit in battles they shouldn’t- this situation has only been made worse by the advent of CO money and exacerbated by the disparate nature of our Military Units.
According to the game’s figures, last week 100 eUK citizens did over 20m damage; just 50 did over 100m. Faced with such a small fighting community, is it still appropriate that we continue to divide ourselves into a myriad of different MU’s with dozens of different commanders potentially giving different orders? It’s ludicrous. Just a couple of years ago a single active MU would have had considerably more fighters than the entire eUK has now.
We are a pretty small country, always have been. We don’t have the numbers or the damage to go toe-to-toe with the more powerful countries and France’s new-found wealth has only made our situation harder than ever before, and that’s why it's important that we do everything we can to make our damage as organised as it can possibly be. The best way for the eUK punch above our weight is for the eUK’s diverse MUs to unite their members and supply structures under a single banner, combined with large contributions of tax money from the government. It’s time for us all to retire our much-loved MUs and coalesce into a single National MU for the greater good of us all.
If doing so gives us a better shot of stopping ourselves from slipping into our current predicament, then isn’t it a price worth paying?
I understand that our MUs and the sense of community they generate are a big part of why we play this game. The same is true of our parties. The group of people in Nifty are some of my closest friends on here and the idea of leaving the MU isn’t particularly appealing but it’s something I and others are willing to do if it helps the eUK get better at directing damage. I would hope that fellow eUKers feel the same way, ultimately the betterment of the eUK is what really matters, isn’t it? We’re all ultimately on the same side.
That’s why I’m today calling on the Government, the MU commanders and all eUK citizens to join me in working to make a united eUK MU happen, in a way that breaks down the barriers and small communities that we have created and better enables us to direct our damage to where it is needed the most. The specifics can be worked out, but can we at least agree in principle that this is something we should make happen?
To underline the fact that I am serious and passionate about this, I will contribute 40,000cc in funding to the National MU as and when it is setup, to help get it started.
If you agree with me, and would like to be a part of a National MU should it be established, please say so in the comments and by filling out the form below to register your support:

Yes, Yes and Yes
Do you even fight?
Doesn't mean I can't be interested in a national MU. I'm currently building my strength until I can fight
Now it seems Nifty want this I wouldnt trust you guys with a mu.
Who says people in Nifty would be running it? It's meant to be a national effort
lol mate sod off. National MU not Nifty MU
We've had National Mus in the past and successive governments have disbanded them as too expensive. Is this another excuse to raise tax levels?
The last government MUs were disbanded at least five years ago; they were a distant memory by the time I started playing and that was 2013.
See it as what you want, I already know that you haven't read the article and have already decided to oppose it just like you do every suggestion that is ever made by anyone.
Personally I'm just interested in seeing the eUK be smarter with its damage and if that means maintaining a high tax rate then so be it.
I think anyone that helps supplying the MU should get a full WT rebate anyway
What's about Legion (formerly ESO Legion)? Weren't they a national MU? That was about 2012-2013, still a long time ago though. Not even sure if that ended due to time or money. It was the best eUK MU I've seen in my (bias) opinion.
Legion weren't government funded, it was just a large MU supported by many rich backers.
Legion was eUK's official MU for a time. not sure how long though 😕
And what's the point in making a national MU using taxpayers money when in the past it's been done privately much better. Like the Legion back when people were actually interested in the game. :l I can't see this solving any of our problems personally
And why not a Pluto MU ? 🙂
Let's walk before we try olympic gymnastics
Hear hear
It's what the govt's been working on for the last few days 🙂
If you want to bring me on board with your work towards this I would be happy to help
The Croatian PM told me they contacted the eUK and that there are discussions in the eUK about joining MUs, but my MU's commander jas no information about this...cool work.
the Croatian pm will be referring to dicussions with eUK governments about the eUK joining one national MU. We are discussing the logistics of it, no one has been approached yet as far as I am aware
I see. But the government should involve the MU commanders from the start, whatever is discussed on that subject.
Support absolutely
We had been discussing possibilities and one option was to limit it to Div 1 players to start, but I'm open to supporting this and see how it develops. Plus I would also make a contribution of some sorts - whether it is a one off or a regular amount, again depending on how it develops.
with or without national MU, first of all we need coordination between all UK MU-s and MoD office, make group msg with mu commanders and coordinate all strikes.
We must find a way to WAKE UP our citizens.
o7
This has already been done.
It is still possible to let existing MUs keep their Identiy within a National MU banner within the regiment concept
A.k.a. we bow down to Croatia's ridiculous roflol Adriatia alliance and it's lurid requirements.
Nah we legit need to sort out our damage. Personally I'm not that interested in the alliance but still support this.
Hehe, shouldn't be too hard. We created one in eNL too when we had your numbers of citizens (which is obviously not recently lol).
UK had one back in its heyday so if that worked I see no reason we can't today
I would like to say Harry, since you get a notification for this, that voting a comment very much anti our allies and supporting the enemy, have you no shame?
At least we are not turning pro-Asteria...
I completely agree. I'm happy to help out and work with whoever to make it work.
According to the game’s figures, last week 100 eUK citizens did over 20m damage; just 50 did over 100m.
there lies the problem, its not about MU you are in, its getting more to fight and do more dmg.
would it not be in our best interest to take what little damage we have and do our best to ensure its used effectively?
100% agree with Frag
A national MU would definitely help co-ordinate damage, but a well organised UK damage is still nowhere near enough to make a real difference and end our current problems.
So then the question is about whether the small improvement a national MU would bring worth the loss of community and identity we have in separate MUs?
Or - to put it another way - if it made a big difference I'd be for it. But if nothing really changes I'd rather stick with the MUs we're loyal to.
The eUK's damage, well organised and delivered at a crucial point in battles for our allies (potentially winning rounds for them) would engender gratitiude in our allies and could lead to more allied damage coming our way over time- the benefits are not just the direct impacts on our own damage.
In addition, if I'm honest I'm rather tired of us all dividing ourselves into small little groups- it only leads to arguments and serves as a way to put barriers up. Why not unite into a larger community that can co-operate to help the eUK- it might help our small community.
So not only have you started agreeing with me in Congress, now you want to be in the same MU as me as well? You're getting weird.
(😁^ that was a joke)
Your points make perfect sense, but the cynic in me doubts whether good intentions will translate into the results you're looking for. Having said that, if it doesn't work, there's nothing stopping people going back to their previous MUs.
Tough one this.
Been saying this for a long time. Finally looks like we have some kind of consensus forming.
A Div1 only one sounds good before people feed off into current MUs
I think it's how it was done back in the day and I still remember the people from it better than those in my party etc. (back then not now) as a totally new player
I've seen this since the e-day I was e-born...
This idea excites me loins, and as such I shall match Ad's 40k contribution to a starting pot
Most likely the UK money anyway
I find much irony in this statement
The people calling for a national MU are the people/players who don't even buy packs and sit on 650 energy they want everyone else to PAY
BOATFACE what packs do you have right now ?
SAMBO what packs do you have right now?
None of you have fought today, How many in Nifty have fought 3
How many for Legion 22 and Royal Navy 32
Royal Navy and Legion have had years of real life money go into building them up, companies workers communes, supply set ups , I wouldn't trust many others in building up and maintaining a national unit , I worked out today I hand out over million cc maybe more in tanks a year we have infrastructures built up all this is very had to dismiss. If a country dont want us they dont want us it would be a lose to them !
*very hard to dismiss
yeah you're right mate because I don't put hundreds of pounds into the game my opinion should be disregarded.
And you call me elitist...
Lots of MUs have developed supply systems. Think of what we can achieve when we all pool our resources together for the common good in a National MU, instead of only looking after our own little communities.
I'm putting my savings on the line for this too you know. I believe in working together .
I think I have said more than that here, no one said your opinion should be disregarded I'm saying you don't' buy packs your group don't buy packs apart for KJ , I'm saying their is no infrastructures set up, I'm saying others units have spent real life money on setting up their units for years and years, we supply players and have invested in companies to supply our fighters , Some people know how to run MUs well This is what I'm saying but I guess you only read what suit you.
And we want to use those people to help a national unifying MU work too
"I'm saying their is no infrastructures set up,"
That's the point of coalescing all existing units with their supply structures into one MU. Everyone chipping in their resources for the common good, doesn't that sound appealing?
In addition to that, I would envisage the government making large contributions when we have our full regions
I believe in working together . No you don't otherwise you wouldn't have set up a Elite Unit for your own little group and as that has failed you want to move on to something else and try and get more control
I believe in working together . Yes i remember you said that to me when you let Wayne be CP
It funny a national Mu idea gets thrown around and YOU want to take the lead , its a big turn off as you and your pals from Nifty will just try to take over
This is just more ways to power grab
Haha. I did wonder how long it would take you to start crying about my MU. Exactly the kind of silly bs I'd like to have cut out by an National MU.
Think what you like, there's no reasoning with you.
