49 regions, 3,000+ GOLD solely in hospitals investments, all gone. But it was a great idea at the time!

This is the last time I am commenting on this debate. You can read through my 2 articles, or my posts on the forums, if you want to see my side.

We can attack the real reason people aren't sticking aroun😛 boredom. Or we can ignore the main root of the problem and destroy our country again in the process.

Your choice, America.

We could be dictators and expect everyone to get with the program or leave...that seems like the best approach to player retention!

i agree, we need a war to keep people around, not hospitals. the people that die off dont even make it to level 5 so adding hopitals everywhere is just wasteful

Goldfinger Day 792, 15:59

There should be at least 2 more fortress regions, New York and Texas.

There is over 1000 people in NY. I say thats enough for a Q5.

Trent Lawrence Day 792, 16:22

I remember that day. Then Maine fell, then we started getting our crap back together and pushed Indonesia out and signed peace with Portugal 😛

Orvent Day 792, 16:25

We Still Have Maine In That Picture...

RomanEmpire Day 792, 16:29

This article makes so much sense... but how else are we going to waste our time arguing about nonsense?

We need to invade the eUK or something to get peoples minds off stupid stuff like Q2 hospitals in every state...

Woxan Day 792, 16:30

And we have 51 original regions, Orvent.

PaminBB Day 792, 16:33

At this risk of being a bit spammy, I'm going to post the same comment that I posted in reponse to Ligtreb's paper: Why can't we think about ways to promote immigration as well as trying to drive baby booms?

The German Eagle Day 792, 16:41

I am happy that I have these silly discussions not in my eHome atm...
But I am totally agree with Woxan... 😉

Maruishima Day 792, 16:43

Word.

Ike Falcon Day 792, 16:56

My two cents: Maybe if we build just TWO Q2 hospitals and placed them in New York and Texas, which have the 2nd and 3rd largest RL populations. (California is the 1st and Florida is the 4th.) It's a relatively small investment to build only two, and there's only a moderate risk that either would be destroyed.

I was fortunate that I began the game in Florida, which is where I live in RL. I do believe that we have enough programs to distribute moving tickets, but just a couple of Q2 hospitals couldn't hurt.

sircasca Day 792, 16:59

agreed

Aurelius Ambrosius Day 792, 17:00

And the real reason we won wasn't the fortress strategy but the fact that PEACE GC fell apart before they could finish us. They could easily have coordinated a land swap with eHungary and bottled us up in Florida indefinitely. Or have agreed to the peace treaty and we wouldn't be discussing whether to place hospitals anywhere at all, but why we are paying PEACE so much money. See revisionist history works both ways.

Woxan Day 792, 17:04

PEACE GC fell apart a month after we retook Alaska.

We won the war because the cost to take out Florida was too great, and other countries involved in the MPPs were occupied elsewhere, before they could coordinate on us.

Alexander Valkor II Day 792, 17:06

thats four days after i turned 18

ssomo Day 792, 17:29

We won the war because allies -- especially Canada -- coordinated with us AFTER Emerick scored a deal with Portugal.

Diplomacy turned the tide, not having a single fortress state. Which wasn't the case, BTW. NJ was our second fortress just as CA is our second fortress today.

Let's remember the budget is 4000 gold per week. The idea that we cannot afford a couple 400 gold hospitals -- if we want them -- is ridiculous.

We sure managed to afford one for Karnataka right quick. Uh huh.

Spencer Magee Day 792, 17:30

I remember that date. We'd just kicked the British Asses and were going to go after the French next

folker Day 792, 17:51

To be honest you just need an hospital in Karnataka, that's the truth. And is the same with us (spaniards) an hospital in Asturias is enough, we have another one in Madrid (with an important amount of companies) but we don't really need more hospitals, and yes, every month the same articles and the same congress proposals about hospitals... xD

Jake Herrington Day 792, 17:55

I say we go kill us some Redcoats.

Woxan Day 792, 17:58

Diplomacy almost LOST us the war.

Remember when Emerick signed the country over to PEACE and sighed our allies' death warrant? Thank god for Russia arrogance.

Lledargo Day 792, 18:29

I agree, this game is repetitive, and that bores allot of people. I'm sure new players don't want to join to only a bunch of arguments about hospitals, and nothing else.

Rex Everything Day 792, 18:39

US cannot beat into dead horse.

Eugene Harlot Day 792, 18:40

I am old enough to remember this

FindxThexWay Day 792, 18:51

I was a fresh-faced baby to this debate one week ago. I am now proud to say I am bitter and frustrated with raving loons.

Alex Peacecraft Day 792, 19:08

We need migrant workers. We need to lower the income tax

Q5 IN EVERY STATE!

WE ARE INVINCIBLE!

Christopher Cszengeri Day 793, 01:00

First time I'm commenting on this issue and hopefully my last. I agree with you Woxan, we don't need a hospital everywhere. I think we need a couple more fortress states, but we should stick to a fortress state mentality. It's what kept us on the map. We're never going to have enough people in the country to make every single state have a big citizen wall, but we can do that with a few states. I don't even understand why this debate even exists, or maybe I'm not understanding it correctly...

Riney Day 793, 05:57
