Welcome to Flatland |

    Well, here we are almost 100 days in and things are not looking good. I guess it boils down to population. I am usually the only resident in the Northeast area of eUSA. I put up a Q1 Defense Shield but that will be rolled over like it wasnt there when they come for us. They will come, make no mistake, just a matter of time.

    With a center of about twenty players that have enough strength to matter we cannot defend ourselves. Our so called Allies will switch over to the enemy in an eyeblink and we will be no more. Ive seen it happen before. You log off for the day a happy and content US citizen. You log on the next day and your a citizen of Serbia, Georgia or whatever.

    You cant sell what you manufacture for a break even price. Your best bet is to become self sufficient but that will slow down your growth to a point where your just treading water. No fun at all.

    I know it sounds pessimistic but if you want to get any enjoyment out of this game you must roll with the punches. You cant fault players from the high population countries, they are entitled to their fun as well.

    So, my philosophy is, if your going to get steamrolled, you may as well lay back and enjoy being flattened.

Boomer, I think your judgement in this case is not correct. However, I love seeing people actually caring.

Why? I would love to hear an opposing view. Wouldn t mind admitting I am full of hot air at an reasonable refutation.

There is always a potential for a country to just go under without remorse. I think it is especially so on this game where empathy is harder to find with strangers on the internet. Look at how Canada went under, no one really cared. Compared to IRL where USA will sometimes act as a big brother and protect others, even when its unwarranted or unwanted. I think eUSA is in a good position. We are just barely in the top 20 in terms of fighting power but one of the few countries who maintains 100% sources on all 3 countries. We are a target for those less fortunate -- However, there is no reason for our allies to go against us if its mutually beneficial. I think if we hold our ground and don t become too greedy then we can sustain our relationships and areas as long as we don t reach beyond our means. I believe that eUSA has a big potential to grow in residency given the demographics of the internet. I think we have to do a little better job making sure new players get help and have good resources on what to do and how to become active in the community and make it more enjoyable.

There is no edit, I meant 100% resources on all 3 categories

Basically what ParoX said. Not to mention that I was the one who organized our Alliance and made it what it is today. And it goes without saying that our allies love us since we were always there for them.
