Strategy?! Really?!
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?!

My sincerest respects for the consistency in regards to name of "Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)". It is truly a pain in the ass to try to not offend anyone while writing about it 😃
Also a nice recap, thanks!
I like how you are trying to provoke Chile... when both fyrom and bulgaria started talking with asteria chile was neutral...and i am talking since january... when they signed asterian mpps chile stayed neutral... when greeced attacked them they help them...check battled... and just becaused they attacked serbia all are now against them? Do now who is acting?
You simply didn't like the fact that Chile decided to go to war.
Now for the rest... asteria has been gathering damage for a year now while as you said greece and syndicate had wars.
So this mean we should leave asteria out?
Or leave the game because we can't touch asteria?
Probably we will all get deleted... but at one point we will get free. That's how it goes...
Come on Mithrantir, you know better about Chile. I'm not accusing them of attacking Serbia. They are an Adriatica member, it's logic to do it. But when Syndicate attacked a third country, you propose a NE law against one Syndicate member (and it wasn't for the first time). Then you are a true member of your alliance.
Then, you were fighting for eachother members in every war (which is great). Look at the wars now. No one is fighting for Chile. It's a fact.
No, you don't have to leave Asteria out. No, you don't have to leave because you can't touch Asteria (because you really can). But it's funny how you (A/S) are talking about now. No more (I'm sure that only for a short period) A/S dominance, no more "we were in holidays", no more "Winter is coming", no more "See you in September". Well, September is here and you saw us.
Or you just thought that such arrogance we'll remain unanswered?!
*will remain
I like how you add adriatica in these... when all he have is 1 article from me... so when you want to accuse adriatica do it with facts... don't drop the name there for impression
Facts Mithrantir?! search this:
http://i64.tinypic.com/zuovno.jpg
true on the last paragraph...but the rest, better get the story right. it was chile who signed mpp with turkey-long time ago, it was chile who fought againts bg in turkey battles, then in yours, it was chile who mocked us with the ne on argentina and then signed mpp with greece. i am not going to get into how they joined adriatica although they knew bg and macedonia will not join croatia by a chance.
good game, sorry about chile...and the moment is gone. everyone has to make choices on daily basis. we did, chile did as well.wheel is turning. cheers
It was chile that kept fyrom mpp
It was chile that fought for fyrom against greece
It was chile that entered adriatica with fyrom mpp
It was chile that renewed mpp with bulgaria...
And then... it was bulgaria that ne turkey and drop the mpp.
I am sorry but you refuse to see facts. You were all happy with a neutral Chile. The moment they tried something against a traditional opponent you forgot everything and started blaming chile because you didn't want to risk any drop with asteria
It was Chile that had and still has mpp with a dozen of our enemies which was actually pushing us towards Asteria..now countries like Croatia cry because of the damage difference ... it was Chile that threatened us to give our pakistani regions ( we had a contract with Pakistan) because Turkey wanted em, it was Chile to refuse any direct help to us and MKD during the last years conflict and even years b4 that to MKD when they were still alone, it was Chile to fight for Greece back then (even Chilean officials, and no thats not a joke, we had a serious scandal back then with our chilean "brothers" cz of it) it was Chile to negogatiate behind our backs with Greece, it was Chile that decided to join Adriatica and to follow Croatia, it was Chile that decided to renew their mpp with Turkey and refused to renew it with Bulgaria..it was Chile that fougth against Bulgaria but did not stay neutral, it was Chile that did not accept the NE on Argentina but 1 day after decided to attack Serbia (a few hours after their NE law on Greece and no thats not an attack on Serbia only, it was also meant to help Greece..they even admitted) which was going to involve and help Chile's "allies n friends" directly against Greece, cz we needed it, it was Chile that decided to sign with Greece and then with Argentina, it was Chile to elect anti-bgmkd govs for more than a year, it is also Chile to blame us for all their stupid mistakes!
@Mithrantir I only feel the need to correct you on this.
"And then... it was bulgaria that ne turkey and drop the mpp."
it was TURKEY that attacked Bulgaria along with greece, when Bulgaria ASed in Argentina. Get your facts straight, it was not so long ago.
"asteria has been gathering damage for a year now while as you said greece and syndicate had wars"
Greece and Syndicate had wars with whom?! With Bulgaria and Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), when Asteria helped?! Asteria has been gathering damage when they deleted Croatia and Georgia?! When fighting for Peru against Chile?! All had fights and spent damage. Look at the damage leaderboards this year: who spent more damage in battles?!
n). But it's funny how you (A/S) are talking about now. No more (I'm sure that only for a short period) A/S dominance, no more "we were in holidays", no more "Winter is coming", no more "See you in September". Well, September is here and you saw us.
Or you just thought that such arrogance we'll remain unanswered?!
I am talking about this part.
And we both know having a direct battle is different than helping.
Also the scale of the battles are different.
What most people dont like from Chile is the hipocresy of saying they are innocent and Bul-Mkd abandoned them.
Chile was MONTHS negotiating with Greece behind the backs of Bulgaria and Macedonia, even when you asked their goverments they werent really secretive about it, they wanted to dump Mkd-Bul for Greece because "game needed a change" and a lof of Chile even went further calling Bulgaria or even Spain mercenaries.
What most people dont like is a country that was really nice... being really wrong and bad... because its not like Bulgaria, Macedonia or Spain ever changed... we remain the same (Spain is a failing country ruled by failers like me, Bulgaria and Macedonia keep fighting Greece as always and tend to ignore Croatia existence). The only country that changed was Chile... because they decided to follow Croatia to the Adriatica/Syndicate idea, which was wrong and deemed to FAIL completely.
Ok i accept what you are saying.
So:
Fyrom and bulgaria were talking with asteria.
Chile was talking with greece.
But it's only Chile faults?
God, Mithra. They all talked with somebody. But Chile went with Croatia/Adriatica. Then started accusing Bulgaria and issues appeared. The same scenario with MKD now...
just admit that you are a sick person man and stop talking bulshit
Mithrandir sucessive goverments from Bulgaria and Macedonia agreed with Spain and some key persons from Chile to build Nexus less than half year ago... you cant think Bul-Mkd wanted to join Serbia when we were trying to build our own side when Spain and Chile were proCroatia and Bul was the only proSerbia (Mkd usually is more "reluctant" to take sides 😛).
Its not like Bul or Chi were negotiating behinds each other back... but it was more like Bulgaria joining Serbia happened only because Chile stabbed them in the eye AND Croatia choosed Greece over them.
All i know is that everyone is trying to blame chile while they pretent to be innocent.
Lord doel you say less than half a year about nexus... i am saying they started talking in january.
Apparently both didn't want to accept countries that others were suggesting... one entered an alliance the other signed mpps.
Don't blame the opposite side to look good to yours... just that. Lets end this here. It's not helping anyone
More far away than January there were talks about making our own side too... just didnt had any name or something.
Problem was back then one month Chile said "yes", Macedonia said "yes", Spain said "yes" and Bulgaria said "nay". Then next month Macedonia said "yes", Spain said "yes", Bulgaria said "yes", and Chile said "nay"... and that happened for almost a month... it wasnt untill half a year ago that all four countries kinda said yes... but Chile then backed down.
Who do you think proposed the name Nexus anyway? It was Chile...
Stop lying. We started talking with Serbia after our ex "allies" (should I mention them? Or we all know who they are) took Greek side in our war for liberation of MKD. Of course we would look for other possibilities to be on the map since we were left with almost no allies.
Chile said nothing to those countries and this was the first move which showed us they prefer A + S (as countries) than MKD/BG. Then it was obvious that one day Chile will have to choose between us and A+S. Well, they made their choice. At least we ended that drama.
It has been great week, and a great victory as well. o7
The A+S strategy is clear: every1 serves the Greek agenda, goes after Macedonia and bullies them as much as possible.
Argentina 0 - 3 Macedonia 😉
Game. Set. Match. 🙂
even gods hand of Maradona didnt help them 😃
I don't know what other alliances channels looked like these couple of days but in Asteria there was huge activity, hours spent coordinating and fun 🙂
I think vasspana meant to say the next september , not this one. 😃
must be true... 🙂
Amazing article dude, cheers!
Many contrys want to be friends of Greece, deal a huge dmg for them NE or AS others country for them (Macedonia) 🙂 but i didnt see greece to do same for them.
Many of those country should think about that again.
Nice article u earn mine 25 cc 😃

Winter is the new summer.

isnt it funny how people still try to make BG and MKD the traitors in what happend in our so called brotherhood? Chilian goverment was working for the past 2 years to get out of it and they were doing it pretty good by provoking BG but at the end did it really matter who was the one who broke the "brotherhood" ? NO! because Chile lost all and BG and MKD remaind to be great allies and not only keeping old friends (except chile) but even making new ones that actually care for us.
Chile should reconsider who to put in their goverment for now on because the people for the last 2 years were the same ones and look what they have done
Chile is the best ally !!!
reliable, loyal ... the only drawback is that they think that Serbia is iconic enemy
and who kept them to fight against Serbia and still help Bulgaria, Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) or Spain?! Some Chilean players maybe keep doing it, but look at their government actions since a long time already...
They thought that Arg is there arch enemy too but now they have MPP
While RoSe send NE to help bg/mkd, Chile ASes serbia and that could be pretty much a help to greece not you!!!
Note: I won't ask Argentina about this, because it seems they never learn: another failed AS against Republic of Macedonia could mean only mockery. +1
They never learn xD
Nice one o7
Seems vacations have been, unexpectedly, one month longer than originally planned.
well, Halloween is coming, then Christmas and New Years Eve. Soon after that Valentine's Day and Easter Bunny. hard times for party people... 😁
ONE is getting back together 😛 yay we just brainwashed Romania to burn bridges with traditional allies.Only a matter of Time for Poland join Asteria. 😁

Btw, last time Argentina failed with their AS (coincidentally, it was against the same opponent) they blamed the alliance and very soon they left it.
How about now, who's guilty this time? 😃
Don't tell me those "Asteria has 99% of world damage" crying stories because... Argentinian switch to Syndicate made the world balanced, right? That's what some of their leaders claimed back then...
good job matt
Asteria has 10x more money than adriatica/syndicate. Money are from taxes and not from visa cards.
Asteria is really a brotherhood now and not just intetests like adriatica or syndicate.( Results helped us)
Asteria means a lot of players, adriatica/syndicate means just some tanks which rules other players because they have money, but we saw that these tanks could not win against a brotherhood.
Long live ASTERIA and friends!
The taxes thing you mentioned is pretty much spot on.
