Romania and EDEN
8-3=1
I am writing this article in English as it might be of some importance also for the non-Romanian readers.
First of all, I would like to wish all eCitizens (both PHOENIX and EDEN) a Happy New Year!
As most of you are aware, Hungary attacked Romania (against 10MPPs) and conquered two regions: Crisana and more importantly Transilvania. Two Q5 defense and hospitals were also lost during the attack. Now the campaign continues with an attack on the region of Maramures.
The attack brings into the game some RL issues that not everyone might be aware of. Transilvania (Erdely in Hungarian) is a RL sensitive issue for both Romanians and Hungarians and any attack will be regarded by Romania as a top priority. That is why many players were dissapointed (some of them even outraged) by the lack of support from EDEN regarding defense of Transilvania.
If we disregard RL issues, EDEN strategy was successful. Some important battles were won (Croatia wiped out Slovenia, erasing their MPPs; Spania conquered Paris-France; high-iron regions in SE Asia were recovered from PHOENIX and are now under EDEN control, the situation in overall Asia is better- except Helliongjang- and also India and China are getting close to the alliance). The way was opened for EDEN to have full control over Western Europe (with Polish and Spanish advances, supported by Sweden). The price paid sofar for this: the loss of Romanian regions.
If EDEN is to be successful until the end, now the allies should rush into Romanian help. There is no other important war to justify not helping. Also some compensation should be discussed between Romania and EDEN, not necessarily a financial compensation but perhaps sending EMC to fight in RW in Crisana, helping build the lost hospitals and defense systems, helping recover Transilvania as soon as possible, providing support for further offensive campaigns of Romania etc.
EDEN should not underestimate the importance of Romania in the Eastern sector. While EDEN will be able to control Western Europe, Romania and Croatia are the strongholds in the Eastern Europe dominated by Hungary, Russia and Serbia. A neutral Romania will imbalance the Eastern Europe even further in the advantage of PHOENIX, opening way for an invasion from East towards the West.
Let's hope diplomacy will sort out this as soon as possible and then military and economy will follow the lead.
Hail Romania and EDEN!

Happy New Year! I'm sorry Romania's getting conquered; hopefully USA can MPP with it again soon...
Diplomacy can't replace what Romania felt . We were back stabbed by our so called "allies" . I hope Romania wont forget this easily . But that's just my opinion .
eSRI, you weren't back stabbed. Back stabbed would mean that we fought against you and betrayed you. America's two clickers couldn't fight. From a strategic standpoint we are still winning this war.
During the North American War, our allies helped us get our country back. But not until we lost all but one state. They will not get this far into Romania, the huns will be stopped and you will be able to fight back and kick them out of your country.
Most of EDENs forces are BUSY at the moment, France and Germany need mopping up and the eUS is going to strike at Hellokitty any time now. What can we say? Hungary chose the right time to attack.
Romanians, do not lose faith. You are one of our greatest allies. Rest assured we will not lose to the huns. The eUS will be there. The Croats can fight for your country now as they are done with Slovenia. In a day or two, Poland will follow. As will Spain and as soon as we can sign the MPP, America will enter the fray.
You are not alone.
We share victory and defeat
But we are never broken

Nicely put Trent!
@Trent Lawrence: I agree with you. Romanian losses were necessary to guarantee the success of the master-EDEN operation. Now fortunately Romania got the initiative and should recover its territories and Hungary is under attack in Hellokitty.
All I wanted to say (and eSRI couldnt say it better) is that a lot of Romanians were not explained the plan. They just think Romania was let down in Bulgaria (while this was damage drain for other allies) and in Transilvania (while this allowed EDEN to accomplish other goals of bigger strategic importance). There is a lot of frustration accumulated on Romanian side, and the best way to get out of it is to win.
