Good evening fellow players,
Welcome to the first entry in my journal.

As the newspaper name suggests, I will be writing journal notes throughout my eDominations journey. In addition to that, I will be publishing light-spirited video montages (montage 1, montage 2) and cover various topics concerning the game.Â

1) The Beginning

Starting from scratch is always hard, we all know that especially if this game is not your first in this genre. The immense support from administration, community, and games ecosystem allows a newly registered player fast growth. With very little or close to none investment, the game can be competitive for anyone.

To point out a person that helped me during the first 2 weeks in-game, both financially and with his substantial amount of knowledge I decided to share with you a short interview.

I want to thank Thylen for taking his time to answer my questions. Without further ado, let us begin.

2) Interview with Swedish president, Thylen

Flash Baron: Introduce yourself to us, please. Who even is Thylen in-game?

Thylen:Â
Well, first of all, Id like to welcome You seksi person for joining the game and our small but effective Swedish community. Second of all, I am allowed to troll right? and third of all, to answer your question... IRL I am a 21-year-old student from Slovenia. In-game I am the president of Sweden as of late 2019. I came to Sweden on the quest to make it great with the amazingly awesome people that played and still play here. They have accepted me with open hands and now I am returning their goodwill and favors to our new fresh and seksi citizens.

Flash Baron: You are currently using all your efforts in leading a small community. That being said, what are in your opinion the biggest obstacles, that players on higher positions as yourself face?

Thylen:
I wouldnt really consider my position to be as tough as it could be, if it had been in a big segment country. I did stuff alone since I became a president, with some help from my one and only seksi mojski Bannerlord. It has been tough though at some points, especially since I cant be active 24/7 to do everything perfectly and execute everything according to plan or if a plan changes. Thankfully Ive got some backup in the last month and things are shaping up as I have imagined them when I became president. Welcome, IzN0GooD to the Swedish HQ.

Flash Baron:Â Let us continue with geopolitics and wars. Can you explain the current standing of eSweden in the wars that are taking place in Europe?

Thylen:
Well we are running low on horses since the last Polish war, so I would never mind grabbing some of those from them if the chance arises :eyes: ... The current standing of eSweden is a bit unknown as of yet, since we are at a time of which we are dealing with NAP offers from the opposing side. Turkey coming back to the game with an active HQ has been something to talk about as well in Fortis Europa alliance. Things are unraveling, and they are not clear as of yet. Sweden is standing stronger than ever, and we have a huge amount of fight in us left, rest assured.

Flash Baron: People are often seen whining and moaning how the opposing side is unfair because they got an advantage. What is your take on that?

Thylen:
Well, I am going to be straight forward, I really didnt expect ACE to start inviting countries into their alliance at the beginning of the reshuffle. That surprised me, and at the same time... not really. The statistics are very much on their side regarding population and military power, that is a fact. I agree, our side could have been more active and organized, but having 2 alliances band up together in such a short time, and Fortis Europa being a new alliance is hard in itself. In the beginning, ACE outplayed us, they were more organized and had experience with their HQ from the last world war. Respect to them for such effort and congratulations on the victories O7 We shall see what the future holds. For now, a farming simulator is back on track... and Im not fond of farming simulators :slight_smile:

Flash Baron: If I noticed anything out of all, during my first month here I saw hard-working administration. Improving both the looks of the game in a short amount of time as well as taking care of the community with events. Do you believe there is still a place for them to grow (which aspects)?Â

Thylen:
The game administration has been amazing. I am really impressed with the work that they are putting into the game, Its so much better looking than before. There is a lot of room to grow still though, yes. Until the administration team expands, well just have to take it slow. But things like the economic sector and alliance sector for instance still could be improved drastically.

Flash Baron: Thank you for your time again. Good luck in your future endeavors. Sweeden seems to be in good hands o/

Thylen:
No, thank you for YOUR time, and good luck to you too friend o7

3) Why are we here

With all the written stuff above set aside, I want to touch one more matter. War is a natural thing in those games. Newcomers such as myself are lucky enough to get baptized with participation on a battlefield. Not only it is in nature itself for us to thrive in war (otherwise we would play Farmville simulator 2020), we are also forced to get to a better understanding of a game in all of its aspects. War gives a chess piece, such as myself a purpose. It gives me, a reason to fight for and with my comrades. Bonds that are formed allow us to make mutual decisions upon what future we wish to have.

Only a few players are a living example of what it means to have true strength. Strength of character. Spreading random havoc an all chat gets you nowhere. Composure and higher stature are what people should strive for. Strength, firepower, military skill mean a lot in those games but being a backbone for your country or alliance takes more than just that.

Thats why I love eSweden so much since the first day I decided to take an untrodden path, completely clueless of what to expect in this game. We have so little, yet so much at the same time. I managed to learn so much about the game, in a really short time, met new people, and had a lot of fun on our discord server where we mostly chat and joke in an idle manner. Impersonation of what this game should be to us.

4) Epilogue

There is plenty of stuff to do in-game to have some fun in it. Politics, journalism, et cetera - just pick your poison.Â

To allies: We need all to put our hands on a table, continue to work together, but more importantly work as one. Success is to be seized only with hard work, a common goal, and overcoming adversity!.
