On the War Path
AlexJ1890
Yesterday was one of the best days of my entire elife. I haven’t had that much fun playing eRep since the US fought Poland. It was all made possible by a coordinated attack made by AIM, a coalition of military units working together to bring the fun back to eRepublik.
The CO’s discuss strategy
Anyway, you can find out more about AIM and the attack itself here.
So, yesterday, AIM coordinated an attack to free a few regions via resistance war. One of them was for Canada, and it was a close battle so I figured I’d have some fun and help out against Spain.
I’m not going to go into details too much, but I put up 202 million in one battle and the final score of that battle was Canda 1810, Spain 1790. Spain just wouldn’t give up, and I and some others fought tooth and nail for the win. It was easily the closest, most exciting battle I’d ever been a part of. Spain pretty much rolled over after that, accepting defeat.
Battles like this one show just how much fun this game can be if there’s battles to fight in that matter to the people! Just imagine if this had been a battle for the homeland? Fighting TWO straight up, going head to head with Serbia or Poland? The damage dropped in the Canadian RW would be dwarfed by the amount a battle against Serbia or Poland would draw. We need war!
The United States going to war
We need a direct war with an actual enemy. This game is becoming more and more stagnant by the day and training wars are not the answer to this either. Training wars are a bore for many players simply because you just fight back and forth, and in the case of fighting weaker nations, you end up fighting for them so they don’t lose regions.
I’m really hoping that Artela will bring us a war. Or that TWO brings the war to us by invading, because even getting wiped and having to fight everyday to try and reconquer our regions would be better than sitting on our thumbs for another six months if you ask me. Playing it safe is no fun for anyone who isn’t in the Executive or Congressional branches of the government. The only way for normal players to affect anything is through the military aspect of the game, and there’s been nothing happening here for a long time. That needs to change.
The ball is in your court Artela. Hope you do something good with it when you win tomorrow.

Until the ultimate war, eCanada is very grateful for your help. We are back on the map thanks to AIM. It won't be forgotten o7.
o7 from eCanada!
Voted. Completely agree about needing a war. Good stuff Alex.
Bring us war, and we will bring you victory!
Voted hard on the war request.
Voted and subbed.
Not the way you want it, boys and girls. Do you remember the most frustrating endeavor ever against Taiwan just about a couple of months ago? Yes, that one, where we couldn't win a thing without alliance support. Well, just imagine what happens against a Serbia or a Poland. And CoT is not ready for an all out confrontation against TWO anytime soon. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool. Yes, US-AIM won a few victories in Spain (who btw is not so sure what it's doing right now), but going against the big boys must always be a carefully planned alliance-level event.
In fairness, many of the people in AIM never participated in Taiwan. I think that is part of the point here. Not only can independent MUs direct damage wherever they want to, they can withhold it just as easily, leaving our government with absolutely no idea how much power we, as a nation, can actually dedicate to any battle.
AIM fighting one place, the government MUs fighting somewhere else.
I know this is supposed to be all about funsies, and it probably is for the soldiers. It's about significantly more for the commanders. This is one of the most interesting things that has happened since I came back. I love it!
In all fairness you Fed up Taiwan by annoucing it a week before hand so the prepared themselves with blockers and finances, and becasue it was a stupid idea to begin with.
Don't blame independant MU's for your failure, it was your idea, you stpped funding MUs and you lost, deal with it.
You miss the point.
Like uberly-epically-catastrophically oops I accidentally dropped the A-Bomb on Columbus, Ohio instead of the evil fascist-commie-extremist forces in Antarctica missed the point.
Yeah, I did, the point is you really never should have ever, ever, ever been CP.

Hungarians can relate. We are sitting on our conquered Ukrainian territories, but we haven't done something BIG for long time. And we have 2 ways to choose between: Start a great offensive and lose the Ukrainian territories, or sit back and enjoy the economic boost the bonuses provide. Can't do both of them at one time.
True
Article is full of win....
Great article. Voted and subbed.
