Strategy?! Really?!

Day 3,231, 14:06 Published in Romania Romania by Raul Doru

Hello dear readers!

This week was one of the most animated period in eRepublik. Many articles were written about those campaigns of Syndicate and Adriatica alliances and I really don'y want to get into details.

Shortly, we've had two phases:
First, Syndicate fully attacked Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), through AirStrikes from Greece, Turkey, Argentina and Brazil. But Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), with the help of Bulgaria, Asteria, Orion and other friends, successfully managed to defend itself against 3 AS (Turkey, Argentina and Brazil) and only Greece managed to land in India. Almost immediately Asteria reacted and Serbia launched a NE law against Greece and Romania against Turkey. The campaigns are going on, with victories for Asteria members.

The second phase started with Mithrantir's article (Adriatica is not dead), where we could find out that the best opportunity for Croatia's liberation has come (Serbia fighting against Greece, after just one day since it was defending Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)). And Cyprus, Thailand and Chile launched an AS against Serbia. Thailand landed but it was stopped the next day and now it's pushed back. The other wars (including RW's of Croatia and Bosnia) were defeated, even if they started during night time in Europe. Same as Latvia's AS in Cuba.
To this moves Asteria responded with AirStrikes of Iran, Portugal (and Armenia) in Chile, now being just a matter of time until Chile will be deleted.

Another funny (or not) situation worth mentioning is the case of Chile. So, when Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) was attacked by Syndicate, Chile proposed a NE law against Argentina, in a move that many of us considered a helping hand for their old friend, Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). But it wasn't so and the law didn't passed. Second day, remembering that they are an Adriatica member, Chilean voted an AS against Serbia (failed). After that they were invaded by Iran and Portugal and will be deleted. Now this situation only shows the internal chaos in Chile, betraying old allies and friends (Bulgaria and Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)) and failing in making new ones, even worst being left alone because nobody trust it anymore.

Today, when Serbia (with the help of its allies and friends) achieved victory, we could see a lot of articles (from both sides) about what happened. People praised the victors and defeated, sharing their respects for the great fight of Adriatica. Pure chivalry, even if it was hell of a fight.

Now, I'm not some strategist and I'm not a member of my country's government or in the HQ of any alliances, but still... I have some common sense questions:

- Adriatica, you really thought about this or just rushed in and the hell with the consequences?! Because with Greece almost exhausted after two heavy campaigns, with Croatia deleted for a long period and without Zdlemmy and Colin's money, it looked like you were jumping into your doom. Sure, it was fun you say (and you're right) but still... the wheel turned quite rapidly for some...
More of that, when an entire (and quite strong) alliance could not defeat a single target - Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), you try to jump on the biggest damage in the game?! To liberate Croatia?! It wasn't obvious that Serbia will win that RW even with the cost of your landing (which didn't happened anyway)?!

- Now Greece, beside showing Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) that they were right choosing Asteria as allies, what was the strategic reason in attacking it?! To bully them after Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) and Bulgaria refused the NAP?! Poor choice.
And just like a curiosity, persuading Argentina and Brazil to launch an AS on Europe prime time, you really wanted them to fail?!
Note: I won't ask Argentina about this, because it seems they never learn: another failed AS against Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) could mean only mockery. But they could just try again... And. by the way, isn't it funny how the same people who decided to get Argentina out of Asteria and to join their "old brother" Turkey, were the ones shouting and fighting AGAINST Argentina in AS, just because they were not in power/control of the country anymore?!

- Few months ago, when we were all "terrified" by the rising of Syndicate, all Asteria's enemies were predicting A/S dominance, because of A/S strategy. I wonder, if liberating Croatia was (as should have been) an important goal, why didn't you worked together for this?! What strategy you've had in the last few days?!

- Since the beginning of Asteria vs. Adriatica/Syndicate conflicts, we've seen you fighting for Georgia, for Croatia, for Latvia, for Argentina, for Greece, for Turkey, just as true allies will do. But who's fighting now for Chile?!
And Chile, don't be upset: after you help / don't help Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), after you NE / reject NE on Argentina, who would be a fool to trust you again?!


As some final conclusions,
- If this was some kind of Adriatica/Syndicate strategy, you should work on it...
- If you wanted to test the relations between Bulgaria, Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) and Asteria, or the reactions of Asteria, now you know...
- As its HQ said, Adriatica is not dead, but it is still defeated...
- Asteria is not invincible and maybe you'll win. But certainly not today. Or tomorrow...


In the end, Greece remember this?!



That was all for September?!
