Hello eWorld

Last decade playing this game has thought me many things. One of those things is that the game constantly changes. Some noobs used to be tanks, some profitable companies are now useless thing in your holding company. Some countries used to be big and now they’re weak. Some weak ones grew strong. Yet, even though I remember all of that stuff I keep forgetting the main thing about this game. It always changes.




How did America and Russia saved the game

Just a couple of months ago, before all these massive changes hapenned Croatia was by far the most active and strong country in the World. Peru and Italy still existed. UAE was feared by many. And today, we have Croatia least active in years, Peru and Italy are now one man armies. UAE is literally empty.

Just a couple of months ago USA was much weaker than it is today. Russia was so bored they were almost in a permanent sleep. And today, USA and Russia are the most engaged and active countries. If someone told me this would happen, I wouldn’t believe it. When almost entire Asteria was on a brinck of dying it was the USA who joined the alliance. USA made so many shifts lately that they lost almost all the trust countries had in them. I believe Asteria did a desperate move that was made so fast mostly because the game was falling apart. Well, good personal relations with some people too. No one thought USA will make any change in there. It seemed like Americans made a wrong, very wrong decisions. Some people were saying the same about Asteria because of this move. No one believed that USA is gonna make a move or change themselves into warlords.

No one believed and yet it happenned. USA not only did rise the morale with its activity. USA got engaged in all of the fronts, regardless of those military moves had low chances. Even while losing the first of many battles USA were fighting hard. America was spending CODE’s energy bars, they made others make moves too and step by step the lethargy in Asteria was slowly disappearing. Bulgaria got more active. Serbia tried to cure themselves. Romania had a strong individuals that were able to keep things up. USA made them make moves, plan and talk about the plans. I still remember when Voots promised that USA will stick to its choice until the very end. I didn’t believe it, but it happenned. USA is still active and kicking. Even though I disliked USA at that time it was still something to compliment and appreciate.






The big neighbour

Since I mentioned that I disliked USA at the time its fair to explain my relations with USA, or to be more precise my relations as other country's representative with the people who represented the USA lately. When I joined this game USA was the biggest friend of Croatia, my country at that time. We had a couple of players playing here and I liked them so I was starting to feel a strong bond to the USA very soon. Later, when I moved to eIreland, USA was the biggest friend of my new country too. It didn’t take for long until I realized why. US Marines, Special Forces and many, many other Americans were there for us all night long whenever we fought the Brits. When it was close their special forces were on their way already. Every time, anywhere, whenever. I wrote several articles stating the importance of the USA and the greatness of the country as it is. This great friendship was lasting for a really long time, until a couple of years ago when the first conflicts appeared. I think that USA changed side at that time. Several bad things happenned, we almost got into the war for a several times, I think for a short period we were at the war. American representatives and us, the Irish, had big fights in public as well. My opinion of the USA was very low then.

I knew Voots long before he became a CP. Not knew like we were friends. More like knew as I was following his work. When he became a President I was both surprised because I didn’t thought he will get that active and not surprised because I knew he’s the right person for the job. I knew he’s not going to be sitting on the fences. I knew he’s gonna go all in and try to make a real change. Both diplomatically and militarly. And he was successful at it. He made USA a crucial part of Asteria, he made USA more effective in the battlefields, he was pretty active towards the public internally. It was a couple of days ago when I just wanted to congratulate him for all the good work he did.


Final thoughts


I always admired the way America is organized. I tried to implement some of the ‘American things’ in many of my own projects. Most of the organization know-how things I learned in the USA. Most of the Governmental things we did in Ireland, we learnt from the USA. When Admins did steps that encourage the group game and the numbers instead of the packers I knew USA is just going to grow more and more. Hopefully the game will continue to grow in the directions it is right now and more countries will start realizing the importance of having an active community that gets involved in decision making processes, public communication and military engagement as well of course. It’s the community that made things interesting in the past. It wasn’t gold, farming and growing fast. It was the people you spent your time with. Last several years game mechanics were set in a way that makes groups irrelevant. Game made parties and MU’s irrelevant. Communities were falling apart. When admins made free game expensive for those who just wanted to enjoy their time while being competitive too communities were left only to those who enjoyed fighting and who were buying packs. Big population brings big challenges and big fun as well. Living in such a country in today’s era of the game is a pure bliss.
