Join the new world

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

Lol, I was so tempted to put that as my title Hari. I had to resist 😛

whoa! did not see this coming this is gonna be awesome im sure, anyone have any guess who is gonna come out on top? Is America gonna get involved in anyway? or can we jst watch from the sides

The scary thing is, who is going to be able to stand up to whoever the winner is?

well thats why i agree with Revshawn in the idea that when the war starts to tip one way we and hopefully many other nations will try to balance it out so the victor doesn't become uncontrollably powerful. We just have to hope the rest of the world sees the danger in this war even if it doesn't immediately affect them, which i think it does.

I doubt full conquest is possible. Both of them are going to deplete each others gold reserves. I foresee other nations jumping in near the end to take advantage of this + resistance wars. They could end up destroying each other.

In the boardgame RISK, if players 1 & 2 beat up on each other, player 3 can stand clear from the fray & build build build.

I respectfully suggest that can happen here too.

If the wiki is correct (and sometimes it's not) MPPs don't kick in unless the territory attacked is one of a country's "native" territories. This should be a long while in any event.

I think ssomo raises an interesting situation. Two giants having a slug match until only rubble is left.

I see Ricks point and ssomo whose point was similar. I love risk to, me and my friends play it(when we have a lot of free time on our hands thats for sure...). I'm suspecting some of the Romanians or Indonesians have predicted this to so they might both be trying for a relative quick war. A war to take maybe a territory or two and then cut their looses to prevent other attacks. Then again it depends how into this war these two rivals get. Maybe America will ass one up because of this who knows

i.e. triggered "in DEFENCE of a region where a resistance war is impossible to start" [sic].

Let them wear themselves out with this.

Idk if citizen dru is right or not, it could be a possibility i mean i suppose that would make sense, nevr thought of that before.

If we're going to be realistic, the more I think about it, the less likely it is that either is going to exhaust their resources on this. They're too smart to funnel all their money into a fire like that.

well ya but we dont know if they have specific objectives or not. Is this just a war for war or a tactical move? If they have an objective they might spend a reasonable amount of resources to achieve them

It won't be possible for one of them to conquer the world, except if they teamed up which is not possible right now.

this is ATLANTIS? this is our ally?
if you dont have balls maybe you have spinal column

nvr meant to say they could conquer the world but, one could make a move to make them more powerful then the other

America should profit from this and continue their war into mexico.We now have indonesia busy in asia.It's time for America to atack.Uncle Sam said that the US wanted to show that they are a superpower.Well boys and girls ,this is your chance.You attacked portugal twice,and you got your ass kicked twice.Now it's your chance to get even.We'll keep indonesia busy,you do the rest.

@ Revshawn "I vote that we watch these two nations fight with each other. When one nation gains the upper hand, we should declare a MPP with them and help them fight back against their aggressors." :

Are you an eAmerican?
This is the most cowardly message I've ever seen in eRep. And coming from a citizen of an ally Country...

ok, you, revshawn, just sit!

I will fight for my Country till Victory!

We have an MPP with romania. When they start fighting, we can use that time to completly take over eMexico.

@ThugBear2005.My point exactly.

i don't think it will be possible for RO or INDO to crush eachother. It's all about atlantis vs peace after all. and atlantis could increase their influence in the world , not only Romania. But as i said nobody can win. We can only move the border of atlantis a little bit. Here is an idea: why don't we all attack indonezia and split it (like we tried in France). Imagine what will become atlantis then..........

America is allied to Romania. I find this to be a lack of vallour for eUSA. You are an a disgrace to the men and women that died in WW2 to defend the world because you are abandoning your fellow brothers in arms.

Shame on you, Shame on eUSA!

@ Fram, I will not blame the eUSA. I disagree with the author of this article only.

@ Revshawn: I can understand you have other business, I object only your attitude.
AFAIK:
- your country is not attacked, you attacked Mexic,
- no Romanian asked compensations or condemned your attacked(although a lot of fuss in YOUR media about it)
- Romania didn't asked for help in this war against pEACE.
- USA and Romania are both, allies and friends.

This is no RISK game, it's eRepublik.
If you want to wait to decide the winner and THEN only chose his side... hmm, "interesting" attitude.

I will accept the victory or defeat, anything it's possible. But I'll respect only the ones who chose their side in advance, even if it's the enemy.

We have a saying, something like that: "Better a true enemy than a false friend"

@ all
Revshawn deleted one of his comment, thus making my last reply looking a little like... "inner conversation". np

Best of luck for eUSA!

I'm heading to Battlefield!

Maybe the eRomanians shouldn't have assumed that the eUSA would support them every time they decide to pick a fight.

Did they tell ATLANTIS 2 days ago!? I assess a fine of 900 GOLD!

romania is cool lets help them out

"Alea iacta est"- Gaius Julius Caesar

Lol.

You use the Risk argument with me when you're attacking Indonesia? I believe that telling someone to act like this and doing the same thing yourself is to make yourself a hypocrite. Honestly, I'm just letting your argument implode on itself.

In any event, good luck on your war. I hope that you guys wear each other out.

lol

idk if we'll pursue the mexico thing... depends who wins the presidential election. And whoever does is going to be president at what could be a crucial point in ehistory

anyone have an idea y theres been no fighting between them since the war started?

They're staring each other down 😛

To be honest, fire up the engines in the weapons factories and cargo ships - Romania is about to become our #1 export market.

If they are in full-scale battle more than one a week, thier economy won't be able to keep up.

They will buy from us, boosting our economy, and have the weapons to kick Indo's ass.

It's a Win-Win for the US.

@EvanTheAwesome:
eHungary attacked eRomania, so while on defence, they cannot attack eIndonesia. Hungary couldn't win the fight, but it was not the reason we attacked. The main reason was to buy some time to Indonesia. (If a country declares war on another, then in the next 24 hours the agressor has the right to initiate fight.)

Guess what, that first 24 hours will be off in a few hours, so our Indonesian brothers can counterattack.

You will see some action today. The question is, who will punch first.

Guess what. India atacked Indonesia so now they can't atack either 😛

well I tell ya, unlike in Risk you don't get as "depleted" in this game. You can run out of gold but these nations still contain powerful powerful people whose strenght and rank will only get higher. I think they will both win from this, or one will be beaten back and shown to be secondary. Disregardless, there are ways that we do need to capitalize on this.

either way both countries will be distracted for the time being. Now is the best time than any for the other nations in both alliances to make the most of it without heavy reprisal.

we should use this as an oppertunity to build up our army and conquer the rest of mexico before it's to late.

@ Slider: Given that we do have an MPP with Romania, it would be "bad form", to say the least, to assist Indonesia in this conflict. I don't think you need to worry about that.

@everyone: I see there are no active battles yet. Any idea where the first one is likely to break out?

I plan on selecting a nice hill above the first battle, setting up a lawn chair, and stocking a cooler with beer to watch what I hope will be the biggest, baddest, messiest battle scene since "Lord of the Rings".

I love the smell of napalm in the morning: it smells like... victory...

(Sorry, I'm of Irish descent. All our wars are merry, and all our songs are sad.)

We should support our allies and crush not allow them to lose an inch. Prove that this alliance isn't about petty arguing, but about standing ground together.

Before we go and try to conquer Mexico, may it be asked what is there to be gained from it? Population wise we are much bigger than most, so while Romania is close it is because they have had to conquer five nations or regions to do so. So unless Mexico has an iron region I am not sure what would be gained from it. I say we do this. I say we go with Uncle Sam's plan of training wars in Baja, and instead of actually attacking Indonesia, we instead support resistance wars in the regions that Indonesia took over.

I say we focus on the economy before we conqueor other territories. We need to get our economies on a per person basis as strong as the other countries (we are currently 15th...for more info on this go here http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/economic-study-eusa-has-15th-strongest-economy-in-world--747108/1/20 ). I say by supplying weapons it will give a big boost to our economy....and help Romania only if they are loosing, ie, if they loose a territory we help them take it back.

sounds like a perfect time to attack indonesian lands or allies? can you attack overseas territories or only adjacent places?

Good call ThugBear, we should finish off Mexico and consolidate our gains while we watch, then jump in if prudent. We can't just sit as spectators when Indonesia's attention is elsewhere--there is opportunity here.

latest events:

Hungary attacked Southern Transdanubia, Romania
-> Southern Transdanubia was secured by Romania in the war versus Resistance Force

Hungary attacked Southern Great Plain, Romania
-> Southern Great Plain was secured by Romania in the war versus Resistance

in progress:

We'll secure this, too. (I saved my hi q weapons for tomorrow)

@Jon Barack Bluejacket: I appreciate your vertical spine!
Just bring the cooler, the beer's on me. 😉
Meanwhile you can watch the biggest, baddest and messiest battle so far, when we kikced Russia and all pEACE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ygYHY5C51w&feature=related
I can't describe it, adrenaline was flowing... damn was great!

@David Voltaire, Alphamega3's and many others: Thank you!
First of all, just listen to your direct superiors and do accordingly with your heart.
We have fun beating pEACE everywhere and everytime.

Best wishes!

The latest:

Indonesia and Romania have not kicked off yet.

But two of the great powers of Europe, Romania and Hungary, just kicked off a battle for Southern Great Plain.

This is significant, because while Hungary has been reduced to two regions (plus the one they just took from Austria) it has a high population, and remains one of the most powerful PEACE countries.

If they are able to regain SGP, they will have a high grain region, and their ability to produce food cheaply will greatly increase. Plus, it started as Hungarian territory, and Hungary is trying liberate all it's territories.

Friends, this is a steel-cage grudge match to the death... welcome to Thunderdome!

Enjoy the carnage-- the results will say a lot about the future of Europe and the world.

Meh, I get the feeling this is going to be a lot of strategic manuvering without any major pay-off. Neither region is crazy enough to funnel everything they have into the war, and I don't think either has cooridinated with their prospective alliances enough to organize an attack powerful enough to overcome either nation's defensive networks.

Replace "region" with "country".

"I vote that we watch these two nations fight with each other. When one nation gains the upper hand, we should declare a MPP with them and help them fight back against their aggressors."

YOU ARE A BIG BLUBBERING PUSSY.
