[Govt of eBelgium] New attack rules starting Day 1113
Dear citizens,
Considering the problems we’ve experienced in the past few weeks and based on your feedback, including a chat with the former Country Presidents, we’ve been working on improving the attack rules. Our main focus was simplifying them and trying to give every citizen one relevant battle to fight in. As a result, bellow you can find the new attack rules, which will become active starting tomorrow, Day 1113 of the New World, 02:00 eRepublik time.
First of all, we’ve brought back the initiative system from V1: when a new war is being started, the initiator of the war will hold initiative, which means he can decide which enemy region to attack. While holding initiative, he cannot be attacked by the opposing country in this war. He will keep the initiative as long as he keeps winning the battles and thus conquers enemy regions.
In the moment he will lose his first battle, the initiative will change, now the enemy will be able to counter attack.
But the initiative cannot be held forever: presidents will have 24 hours to decide which region to attack. Once they do, the battle will be started immediately, else, at the end of the 24 hours time, a battle will be automatically started in one of the attackable regions. Also, there will be just one battle at a time, so no other regions can be attacked while a battle is still in progress. But battles will be free of charge, no Gold will be necessary to attack regions anymore.
More insights on the rules we kept and those we didn’t:
Battle Queues will continue to exist. Basically, once a side will decide to attack a region that is already a battlefield in another war, the attack will be queued until the previous battles on that region end. If region is being conquered in one of the previous battles, the queue will be dissolved. If your attack was in the dissolved queue, another attackable region will automatically become a battle in your war. Also Resistance battles can be queued; the good news is that, if the queue gets dissolved before the Resistance Battle takes place, the Gold spent on starting it will be returned to the initiator.
Attacking regions will no longer depend on what happens in the other wars your country is involved into. So, you will be able to initiate attacks even if your border regions will be under attack in other wars.
If, at some point, the two countries involved in a war will no longer share common borders, the war between those two will automatically be closed.
While discussing with the former Country Presidents, we understood that you want more strategy in wars, and among your suggestions we found some interesting ideas that we are currently working on putting in practice, so we will be updating you soon about some more improvements.
Stay tuned!

Well...the important part of this whole new change is that battles cost 0 to initiate (not resistance wars but battles initiated at CP order). So if a country is surrounded by unfriendly neighbors, there will be either a constant war (if that country's defense holds) or it will be conquered.
This situation happens in several places in the eWorld and if we choose our alliance(s) wisely (considering this fact) we could have a lot of available fights.
these new rules are stupid and are just another fail in the series of fails of the admins... : (((
It's not like we will attack anything.
