Fight Alone to Die, Fight With a Team to Kill!

by Zheng He
The word for the day is "ARMY"
V2 has changed everything. We lost players and wealth. The economy is screwed. And fighting is ... different. Very different! In V1 we logged on when we wanted, tossed our damage on the wall, and the admins added all the points up at the end. In V2, out damage can be totally negated an hour later. If we attack the wrong enemy at the wrong time, we can get blown away without doing any damage!
SO HOW DO WE FIGHT SMART???
Five Reasons To Join the Army
5. You know where to fight. Ever get tired of that annoying message "there are no battles in which you can fight."? Then the next day, you read about a great battle in China or Sweden ... that you didn't even know about? Join the ARMY and every day, you get clear orders telling you where to go and when to fight. And moving tickets!
4. Free guns. And not wimpy Q1 junk, but Q3s and Q5s. (Oh yeah ... and shitty coffee too.)
3. Being part of a team. Why play alone when you can be a great bunch of men and women? Some of the most dedicated players are in the ARMY. And some of the most fun! We work together to make the group stronger and have no patience for back-biting and sniping between soldiers or branches. A friend made in the ARMY is a friend for elife.
2. Education. Fighting in V2 is confusing as hell, and the ARMY will help you learn to fight smart. We talk strategies and tactics every day and pass the knowledge on to every soldier.
1. Survival. If you fight alone, you’re dead meat. But if you fight with the ARMY, you make dead meat! Really, how many times have you wandered onto a battlefield, only to be swarmed by 5 enemy tanks who immediately send you back home in pieces? The ARMY attacks en masse, giving you a chance to survive and kill the enemy. If you're not in the ARMY, how do you know when to fight?
You can join the ARMY in this application. You must be this tall to join: level 8 (Ranger), in-game rank of Colonel.
And check out The Army Times.
Oh yeah, the other military branches are pretty cool too ... Cavalry ... Airborne ... Marines ... National Guard ... Mobile Infantry ...
Go Strong.
ARMY strong.

Voted.
One more thing has changed with V2. Fighting is no longer the sport of the masses. Not anyone can/should fight anymore. New players are just dead meat no matter what quality of weapon they use. That's no fun. I just don't see new players lasting long enough to qualify to join the Army.
Something else is more prominent than you make it out to be, Zheng He. Fighting used to be you could run up against a wall and chip away at it. Now if you run up against a wall, you run splat into it. True mass attacks are the only way to overcome such a wall, which is now an impossible barrier to the lone soldier. But there's another impossible barrier to joining mass attacks. People now have to arrange their real lives around a game. Used to be you could play the game around your real life. Now though, you have to log in at a certain time, eat at a certain time, wake up at a certain time. The Army life has become a lot more like the real Army life. And I just don't see a lot of people having that sort of a commitment to a game.
@Backbear😛 You may have just nailed the inadvertent consequence of V2 that will kill eRepublik.
