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.
Yours,

Added you as a friend o7.
No need for reward.
great o7
With the #'s of players here you'd be surprised by the low activity levels.
Now that's something to be changed for the better. Quantity beats quality (packs) nowadays.
I hope admin does some ad campaign like they did upon launch of v1, mechanics favor it now.
Exactly what Im writing about in my last three articles. That and True ally medal.
I'll check them out. On phone atm
It has been quiet for the last couple of months. Personally I've been busier irl, and I suspect that's true for some others. We've had less political disagreements, the invasion is over, etc. too. We do need to get activity back up though. Activity tends to create more activity.
I hope Americans will join us in Nippon. The lands of sakura need us.

Absolutely!
Russians even can’t saved themselves
Bono the game
Russians even can’t saved themselves
Not the game
I wouldn't say Russia was bored a couple of months ago.
Bit more than a couple yeah, before the Turkish invasion either way.
Nah, not really.
Damn FHK, each time I check your CP medals count you have like 10 more than you had the last time I checked 😂
Why not?
You are visiting my glorious profile only every 10 months? I'm sad now.
on topic: I fail to see what Russia did (they both saved the game you say) cause 90% of the article is praising usa for becoming asteria and making some desperate moves.
The truth is that all the changes in geopolitical positions were caused by Platos actions, be it the banwave, not banning all of the servers or the changes of mechanics. The impact of the USA is quite low.
Im not sure what the article should tell me. Yes, USA is quite a cool country according to you. Did their actions lead to changes? Not really IMHO. The days of organized, real armies/communites are over. The wars which are fought atm still don't make any sense. Yes, the game got better with the new mechanics, still there's nothing worth fighting for. Still too many train wars.
I agree with most of your comment, but my point is that USA has joined Asteria after the banhammer by Plato when everyone expected Asteria to fall apart and go inactive. They didn't just join, they also started several strong campaigns which were lost, but the heavy damage made in those battles, plus servers banned made lots of CODE players spend their resources (bars, even gold). Those losses were the only real action from the Asteria side and that last for a month or so. I think there were a couple of really tough battles.
My opinion is that if those campaigns didn't happen, Asteria would be much less active today. USA didn't organize themselves as good as we've been witnessing in the past, but it was a huge improvement to what USA was before that and it was on a much higher level than the rest of the world at that moment.
Russia was kinda similar, just the other side. First against Turkey, then against Asteria.
Got your point, cannot really say anything about the activity of asteria/code and what caused it except for the changes. Nothing against the efforts made but the impact wouldn't have been as high if changes wouldn't have happened.
I'll just lean back and wait for times where fighting will make a difference again.
Yeah, agreed on that.
Why lean back when you can be the change though?
I'll do when I see a chance of the game to be fun on the military side again. As long as there's nothing to fight for, I'm the wrong guy.
