Does PHX need a new strategy?

A short story about strategy

Anyone who has played strategy games like starcraft, warcraft, red alert etc. knows that it is all about controlling resources and builidng fast (amoungst other things).
The one controlling the most resources, for example - starcraft - is not necessarily the one that is going to win (if he is slow on builindg and controling the battle field he is going to loose those resource fields).



Today, in this game, we seem to have leaders that have forgotten these 3 simple rules. Phoenix has lost it's "minerals" and "vaspine gas| is running low too. Helping allies is great, no one wants to see his allies down, but securing resources MUST be a priority since enemy is amassing resources on their side. The longer you wait and delay it - the closer you are to end of the game.
In the times when lot of resources are lost to you, and your allies are down, to prevail, you must use your remaining forces to regain those resources, then go on offensive then help your allies. Bringing your broke, resource depleted allies serves no purpose to that ally or the alliance. They are just going to fall again and enemy is going to amass even more resources in the meantime. That means certain doom and end game.

Without resources, helping allies just prolongs our demise. Enemy is at this moment amassing more than 2000 gold per day, while only Hungary and Russia are making some profit in the phoenix alliance. Does this look grim to you? It does, it is. We should get our priorities straight while we still can! Since we can't "micro" in this game, we must go for resources. Most valuable ones are lost. Karnataka, Lianoling (lionking 🙂 ), and while we are RWing our friends, our enemy is peacefully collecting gold for strikes of a major kind. When all small ones fail, bigger ones will follow.
Sure, you can defend HelloKitty with 10.000G in 24hrs, it's a fortress, you can do it again, but can you do it the third time? Enemy will soon have enough money do it three times in a row. Once HK is down - Russia will quickly fall under all (resource rich) EDEN.

I urge you to get your priorities straight. Fallen countries are better off risen in full strength than just risen to die again! USA needs to be driven out of Asia as soon as possible ant their fortress must fail!

Otherwise, with Spain and Poland dominating Europe, we can just log off...

we will see this:
