<hr />
<div>'''Contract between the Mexican Congress and the Administrators for the establishment of the National Flag and Coat of Arms of Mexico in the Erepublik.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Definition. ==<br />
All contracts share in common that they must be signed by the parties involved in order to take effect. Additionally, all contracts can be broken by one of the signatories not following the terms.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Type of Contract. ==<br />
===Constitutions and Charters===<br />
A constitution is written by the president of a country to declare the rights and goals of the country and it's citizens. A charter similar, as it is written by the president of a political party to detail the goals of his presidency. These are both '''congressional contracts''', meaning that they both require a majority of the signatures of the country's congress in order to become valid. The rules for creating a congressional contract can be found [[User talk:Admin#Constitutions (by Admin)|here]].<br />
<br />
<br />
== The Contract. ==<br />
=== Main Body. ===<br />
This Contract is for the establishment of the right National Flag and Coat of Arms of Mexico (Spanish: México) in the Erepublik On-Line Game, the Erepublik Wiki or any other number of Erepublik based creations.<br />
<br />
# The National Flag of Mexico (Spanish: México) in the Erepublik shall be the same National Flag as the United Mexican States (Spanish: Estados Unidos Mexicanos) has in Real Life as of the date this Contract is written. The Mexican National Flag (Spanish: Bandera Nacional Mexicana) is a rectangle divided into three vertical stripes of identical measures, with the colors placed in the following order from hoist to fly: Green (Web color: 006847), White (Web color: FFFFFF), and Red (Web color: CE1126). Centered in the white stripe, the Mexican National Coat of Arms has a diameter of three-fourths the width of the white stripe. The proportion of the flag is four to seven (Ratio 4:7). It could carry a rope or tie of the same colors below the truck.<br />
# The National Coat of Arms of Mexico (Spanish: México) in the Erepublik shall be the same Coat of Arms as the United Mexican States (Spanish: Estados Unidos Mexicanos) has in Real Life as of the date this Contract is written. The Mexican National Coat of Arms (Spanish: Escudo Nacional Mexicano) is featured by an Mexican eagle exposing its left profile, the upper part of the wings in a level higher than plume and slightly displayed in a battle attitude; with the sustenation plumage downwards touching to the tail whose feathers are arranged in natural fan. It puts its left grasp on a bloomed nopal that is born in a rock that emerges from a lake. It is grasping with the right grasp and the beack, in attitude of eat, a curved serpent, so that it harmonizes with the whole. Several "pencas" of the nopal grow to the sides. Two branches, one of encino to the front of the eagle and another one of laurel opposed, form a lower semicircle and they are united by a ribbon divided in three strips that, when the National Coat of Arms is represented in natural colors, correspond to those of the Mexican National Flag: Green (Web color: 006847), White (Web color: FFFFFF), and Red (Web color: CE1126).<br />
# On Day 313 of the Erepublik, the new World On-Line Game Calendar, the President of Mexico (Spanish: México) Debildevil in that moment issued a congressional vote to change the National Flag and Coat of Arms of Mexico (Spanish: México) in the Erepublik, the new World On-Line Game and in the Erepublik, the new World Wiki. The vote was signed as requested by 3/4ths of the Mexican Congress on Day 314 and the National Flag and Coat of Arms of Mexico were changed. The contract also stated that the National Flag and Coat of Arms of Mexico can only be changed by a 3/4 majority voting of Mexican Congress in the future. Due this previous contract, this change shall be effective when 3/4 of the Mexican Congress and the President of Mexico, sign.<br />
# In order to change the Mexican National Flag, the Mexican National Coat of Arms, or any other iconic Mexican National Symbol of Mexico (Spanish: México) in the Erepublik, the following votes shall be required, in perpetuity:<br />
## To change a symbol to match the same as the United Mexican States (Spanish: Estados Unidos Mexicanos) holds or held in real life as of the date of this Contract, a simple majority shall be required.<br />
## To make any other change, a unanimous vote of Congress, plus a 3/4 majority in a referendum of the citizens of Mexico in the Erepublik, shall be required.<br />
# No Contract may amend Section 4 or 5 of this Contract, without a Referendum approved by 3/4 of the people of Mexico (Spanish: México) in the Erepublik, and a simple majority of all former Mexican Congressmen and Presidents of Mexico voting.<br />

# Note 01: In the Real Life, the current Mexican National Flag was adopted in 1968, but the overall design has been used since 1821, when the First Mexican National Flag was created. The current law of national symbols, Law on the National Arms, Flag, and Anthem, that governs the use of the national flag has been in place since 1984. At that time the Italian tricolor was not in use. It is a common mistake when constructing the National Flag of Mexico to take the Mexican Coat of Arms and place it in center of the white stripe, using the Italian flag as the base design. This error occurs due to the fact that some people incorrectly believe the only difference between the two flags is the Mexican National Coat of Arms in the Mexican national banner. Both flags use the same colors (green, white and red), but the Mexican National Flag has darker shades of green and red. Most importantly, these flags present a different aspect ratio (proportions), which gives each one a unique look. The Italian flag aspect ratio is 2:3, more squarish in shape, while the Mexican National Flag aspect ratio is 4:7, resulting in a longer shape.<br />

# Note 02: In the Real Life, the National Coat of Arms of Mexico has been an important symbol of Mexican politics and culture for centuries. The Mexican National Coat of Arms recalls an old Aztec legend: "The Aztec people were guided by Huitzilopochtli to seek a place where an eagle landed on a prickly-pear cactus, eating a snake". After hundreds of years of wandering they found the sign on a small swampy island in Lake Texcoco. Their new home they named Mexico-Tenochtitlan ("In the Moon's navel-Place of the Prickly Pear Cactus"). In A.D. 1325 they built a city on the site of the island in the lake; this is now the center (downtown) of Mexico City. To the people of Tenochtitlan this would have strong religious connotations, but to the Europeans, it would come to symbolize the triumph of good over evil.<br />

<br />
== Physically ==<br />
DrogbaPT has long silver hair with blue/green eyes. He wears silver headshoulders, a dark-blue jacket with red stripes, long dar-blue boots and a very long and magical Sword (Masamune) given by his fallen friend Zac Fildirgs.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vg baddestvillians sephiroth fullsize.jpg|thumb|rigth|DrogbaPT alternative clothes]]<br />
<br />
== Early Life ==<br />
[[Image:Sephiroth-outfit.jpg|thumb|left|DrogbaPT real clothes]]<br />
DrogbaPT was born in Portugal (more specifically Ponta Delgada). Apparently DrogbaPT was born orphan and his parents are unknown. Since early he had to disembarass alone. Probably because of this DrogbaPT is a litle anti-social but very efficient. When DrogbaPT made 16 years old something bad happened. He was walking in the street when 5 guys coming from nowhere attacked him. They beat him up and wanted to steal his stuff. That's when he met Zac Fildirgs. Zac Fildirgs was walking in the same street at the same time and went to help Drogba. Zac managed to frighten away the robbers. After that Drogba and Zac became very good friends (especially because Drogba had noone else). Zac was an orphan just like Drogba but he was way older. Zac never told his age but Drogba suspected he had more than 30 years. Zac Fildirgs was a very good swordsman who taught Drogba a few moves with the Sword. <br />
<br />
When Drogba made 18 years he couldn't have more social funding since he was considered an adult. With no money Drogba started to desesperate. That's when Zac offered his help and gave him a job as a Swordman aswell. With this job Drogba's life started to improve as he learnt how to properly manage a sword and was starting to get a few ammount of money.<br />
<br />
== Life Change ==<br />
[[Image:Sephirothlater-771976.jpg|thumb|rigth|DrogbaPT's insane state]]<br />
<br />
When things finally appeared to be going well a disaster occured. Zac was working in a new long sword with magical powers. While Zac was working he asked Drogba to go to the marketplace to buy some food for the lunch. When Drogba left Zac's place the 5 robbers that 5 years ago he had beaten showed up again. But this time they wanted Zac to revenge on what he did. So the robbers entered Zac's place and threatened him with a pistol. After that they beat up Zac. Accidentally, the robber with the pistol fired the gun and hit Zac's head, in the middle of the eyes.<br />
<br />
When the gun is fired DrogbaPT enters Zac's place. When he sees his friend dead on the floor he gets insane and grabs the Sword that Zac was working on. When he grabs it he starts swinging his sword. He mortally wounds 4 of the robbers. The one left was the one who fired the gun. Drogba gets near him and cut his head with a single strike.<br />
<br />
In Portugal, assassination is a crime so DrogbaPT had to leave. DrogbaPT went to the docks to get a ticket and to wash his sword to leave the island and go to the continent (he decided to go to Porto). <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== New Beginning ==<br />
[[Image:SongsDusKim-ff7-sephiroth-20021207-medium.jpg|thumb|left| DrogbaPT in one of the military trainings.]]<br />
Drogba arrived Porto. He left the docks and went to the town. There he mets [[PHuSiOn9]]. PHuSiOn9 was a very sucessfull manager who had 5 companies. He gave a job to Drogba as a farmer. PHuSiOn9 noticed that he was fairly good with a sword when Drogba was practicing with [[DomiBoss]] in the arena in work's break. After the break PHuSiOn) advised DrogbaPT to become a soldier. Drogba accepted as he could learn new things and improve his sword skills.<br />
<br />
After a few months the Police annouced in an important newspaper that a crime occured in Ponta Delgada. An homicide of 5 people by a very skilled swordsman (they know it was a skilled swordsman because of the marks on the ground and the precision of the attacks). <br />
The 5 people dead were [[Sweden]] spies who were collecting information about several countries. According to the police chief they were collecting information about each country weapons, military strength and training, important buildings, strategical places, political stability, economy stability and other several things. They were also stealing money to finance some [[Sweden]] secret programs. But the police had no proof of who did that murder although later it was said that they didn't try to hard to find out who did it.<br />
<br />
This news were bad especially to patriotic and nacionalist people all over the world. PHuSiOn9 after this advised the President to give more financial support to the army.<br />
But PHuSiOn9 also noticed something else. The newspaper talked that those 5 spies were killed by a skilled swordsman. He remebered his worker, DrogbaPT who had good sword skills and came from an unknown place.<br />
He went to the docks to talk with some fisherman and described DrogbaPT. They said that they saw a very similar kid a few months ago that had come from Ponta Delgada. PHuSiOn9 returns to his office. Later he calls DrogbaPT to his office and confronts Drogba about that. DrogbaPT had no choice but to tell everything.<br />
<br />
PHuSiOn9 was shocked but soon he realised that DrogbaPT could be very handy. His sword skill couldn't be wasted so he advised Drogba to join Comandos. Comandos it's an Elite Division of the Portuguese Army. DrogbaPT refused the first time because he said he didn't want to kill more people but PHuSiOn9 insisted and reminded him that it was the Swedish government that accidentally killed Zac Fildirgs, DrogbaPT friend. In the end DrogbaPT accepted.<br />
<br />
== A Soldier ==<br />

[[Image:Twelve cz-supersoldiersJPG.JPG|thumb|left| The Twelve "Super-Soldiers" of the CRFF(Czech Republic Freedom Force ). The only soldier of the CRFF that isn't in this picture is [[Vaclav]]]]<br />
[[Image:Sephiroth_moment.jpg|thumb|left|DrogbaPT figthing the CZ "Super-Soldier" to save his friend [[DomiBoss]]. DrogbaPT turned blue when he managed to unlock the Sword Power.]]<br />
<br />
<br />
After joining DrogbaPT started his elite and intensive training. Commander [[Naadjh]] found out that Drogba's Sword had magical powers but he didn't knew how to unlock. Later on Drogba got involved in a discussion which end up with a figth with his mate [[Judazs]]. In the figth Judazs was winning but when Drogba managed to unlock the powers of the sword the tides turned on in favour of Drogba. DrogbaPT strength increased drastically and if it wasn't DomiBoss and Commander Naadjh holding DrogbaPT Judazs would be dead. <br />
<br />
After two months of this incident Drogba first mission appeared. His squad (of seven soldiers) was nominated to go to Hungary(Portugal was member of the MA which allies include France, Italy, Spain, Hungary and some others) to defend it. Their squad and the others were in one military base made for the them. His squad was nominated to go to the field. So they did. Drogba entered the field and showed his power in the battlefield... he managed to execute five soldiers in one single slash. But his squad got ambushed. Thirteen CZ soldiers killed three teammates and went after the others and hurting two temmates. This CZ soldiers weren't ordinary soldiers. They had superior firepower and superior training and motivation so they were called Super-Soldiers.<br />
Drogba had no choice but to escape. Even with his Sword powers he couldn't take so many soldiers at one time so he returns to his base. There DrogbaPT informs Commander Naadjh the loss of three soldiers and of the the two injured soldiers.<br />
<br />
Commander Naadjh decides to reunite all squads and nominates DrogbaPT to Sergeant (because of his slash that took five soldiers) and nominates DomiBoss Captain (because of his leadership abilities and amazing kills). Commander Naadjh ordered to eliminate those CZ "Super-Soldiers" at all costs as they have been provoking damages to the Italian Squad.<br />
So they moved to the battlefield where these "Super-Soldiers" have been last seen.<br />
<br />
<br />
When they reach there they see dead bodies all over the floor. It was an horrible scenario but a soldier needs to keep cold blood so Captain DomiBoss ordered to look for survivers and to search for the "Super-Soldiers". One soldier went to check a destroyed building and that's when the "Super-Soldiers" appear. Unfortunately that soldier got killed instantly.<br />
DrogbaPT runs at his full speed at slashes the CZ "Super-Soldier" that killed his teammate. Obviously that wasn't a smart move since there were five of these "Super-Soldiers" waiting for someone. So they jump to DrogbaPT hurting his rigth arm with three strikes. <br />
<br />
DrogbaPT falls down and DomiBoss and some other soldiers go and attack those five "Super-Soldiers". They manage to kill them all but at the loss of seven soldiers. After killing these five "Super-Soldiers", seven "Super-Soldiers" appear but this time one of them seems to be the Leader. He said the following: "Iam [[Vaclav]]. Iam the Knigth of Czech Republic and Iam here to kill everyone who threats our country".<br />
[[Image:Tidus - Vaclav.jpg|thumb|rigth|[[Vaclav]] - The Leader of the Czech Republic Freedom Force (CRFF)]]<br />
<br />
Captain DomiBoss orders all soldiers to attack. An intense figth started. While they were figthing DrogbaPT's rigth arm was in a bad shape and still in the floor. But when DrogbaPT gets up he sees that his Captain and friend, DomiBoss, was in the floor with a "Super-Soldier" near him with a sword next to Domi's heart, Drogba uses the power of his Sword to heal his body and runs towards the enemy. The "Super-Soldier" was seeing Drogba so when he came he tried to strike him... but Drogba superpowers broke the "Super-Soldier" sword and killed him.<br />
<br />
Captain DomiBoss thanked DrogbaPT but there was no time to lose. There was still six "Super-Soldiers" left and Vaclav. After a ten minutes of violent figths those five "Super-Soldiers" were killed at the cost of fifteen Portuguese soldiers. Vaclav was still alive but since he was the only CZ soldier left in battlefield he ran away.<br />
<br />
Captain DomiBoss and DrogbaPT still tried to chase Vaclav but he was faster. Captain DomiBoss ordered all troops to go to the base. So they did. When they reach the base they inform Commander Naadjh that all CZ "Super-Soldiers" were dead except their leader and that they lost twelve soldiers. Commander Naadjh went to his office and made a call. After a few moments he comes back and informs Captain DomiBoss and Sergeant DrogbaPT that those CZ "Super-Soldiers" were the last defensive option of Czech Republic and that Vaclav was the leader of the Czech Republic Freedom Force(created after the war with Hungary). Also due to the loss of many soldiers in this figth the President of Portugal ordered to withdraw all troops. When they returned home Captain DomiBoss decided to nominate Sergeant DrogbaPT to Lieutenant.<br />
<br />
== Reconstruction and the beginning of the new problem ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Comandos by DrogbaPT.jpg|thumb|left|Reorganisation of the Portuguese Army]]<br />
<br />
Comandos returned to Portugal from a terrific figth with the Czechs (which in the end the winner of the war was Hungary with the help of Portugal and Italy). This figth killed alot of the Portuguese soldiers (twenty-five in total). Since some of the strongest soldiers died Portugal was in a fragile situation so something had to be done. <br />
To solve the this situation PHuSiOn9 ( Vice-President of Portugal at this time) ordered an emergency meeting at the Portugal Military Base of Porto.<br />
There the most important people of the country were discussing what should be done. In the end they got to the conclusion that strong soldiers only appear after months of training so the only thing left to be done is to equip properly the Portuguese Army. Since Comandos were the only ones with decent equipment and since they had lost alot of soldiers and that equipment the President of Portugal ordered an investment of 400 GOLD in weapons.<br />
This investment main purpose was the fabrication of better weapons and armours. Also the Portuguese Army will have, from now on, specialized training instead of only the basic training.<br />
<br />
After of two months of this investment the Portuguese Army had better equipment and better trained soldiers. Portugal wasn't so fragile but it wasn't fully recovered aswell [[Hungary]] and [[Italy]] (both allies). [[Norway]] knew this and since they are imperialists they wanted to conquer a few more countries. But there was one problem. [[Norway]] couldn't attack any of the MA members directly so they thought that someone else could attack for them and that could send squads to help conquer the MA countries. <br />
They knew that [[United Kingdom]] could attack [[France]] so they tried to make a deal with them. Norway would pay the war costs and would offer 1000 GOLD for each fully conquered country.<br />
The plan was perfect as [[Norway]] had good soldiers aswell as the [[United Kingdom]] and the MA countries were weak at the moment except [[Spain]] but they didn't like to send squads to help their allies. Of course they knew that Spain someday would act but when they did it could be already too late.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile in Portugal Commander Naadjh was happy to announce the fully armament of the Portuguese Army. But he didn't know that he was going to send his soldiers to war again so early...<br />
<br />
== Dark times are coming ==<br />
<br />
Norway managed a deal with United Kingdom. Norway would pay 1000 GOLD for each fully country conquered and would pay the war costs. So first of all Norway made a Mutual Protection Pact with UK. After that UK declares war to France. UK congress voted all "yes" to the proposal of war. Tough times expect France.<br />
<br />
The world is shocked at this proposal of war by the UK especially France. Although they weren't allies they always had good relationship with each other. France had three days to prepare for the war. This wasn't good news as they knew that UK had a strong military and it was allied with Norway and that makes them even more powerful.<br />
Meanwhile the other MA members are worried because they know that if France is conquered Norway and UK will have acess to Italy and Spain. The future for the MA seemed dark and they only had three days to prepare while Norway was planning this for two months already. <br />
<br />
So after one day of the war declaration of war to France, Portugal ordered all MA countries to reunite in Porto to discuss this matter. All MA members came except Spain who, apparently, wanted to remain neutral. Portugal, Italy and Hungary were still recovering from the war and the only country capable of sustaining a war was France.<br />
<br />
So the President of Portugal suggested that Portugal, Italy and Hungary would only provide help when France would have lost ten of his regions. If France loses ten regions then Portugal, Italy and Hungary would send his troops to help France. Meanwhile the MA had to convince Spain to help them but it was hard since they don't like to involve in wars because the yfear to lose his economical power.<br />
<br />
The following two days passed very fast and MA had his first tough test in his alliance life.<br />
<br />
== The War ==<br />
<br />
The war officially started. UK started attacking but Norwegian troops haven't arrived yet. France placed a lot of his troops because if they could win those regions they would gain advantage and could get more time for the others MA countries to recover.<br />
After three hours of figth between the british troops and french troops France seemed to have the advantage until Norway came. Norwegian troops reached the regions in war and immidieatly started firing against the french troops killing a lot of them. France retread from those regions as they had to rethink their strategy.<br />
<br />
So France lost three regions and Norway showed a bit of their power as when they reach the batlefield they killed a lot of french soldiers. After that the French Army decided to be more cautious and save some troops because they still had a lot of territory to defend. Obviously France didn't want to lose any region because innocent people live in the cities and they knew that the Norwegian and the British troops would rob them all. To prevent that the French Government ordered everyone to remove all of their goods to Paris. Then in Paris the goods would be moved to Toulose because there was too far away from the war and the good could be safe.<br />
<br />
Second day. The british troops together with the Norwegian decided to attack more regions. They started attacking four regions. But this time the French troops were more prepared and they set up traps. This lead to some British and Norwegian casualties. France even managed to secure one region but the others three were conquered even with the traps. The French army had lost 26% of their army by this time while the British and the Norway had lost together 19% of their attacking army. French really lost a lot of troops but that's normal as the British troops and the Norwegian troops had better soldiers.<br />
<br />
France cities that were conquered by the British and by Norway were destroyed because of the figths but mainly because there are almost no goods to be stole so the commanders of UK and Norway ordered to burn down many cities. Green camps were turned to wastelands and all industries were shot down. Also Norwegian Commander ordered that every surviver of the war, soldier or not, had to locked up and that they had to be interrogated. But the Norwegian Commander said that it wasn't necessary to torture them... for now. Also France had captured a few Norwegian and British soldiers and locked them up but they haven't tortured them yet. <br />
<br />
Third day. French situation was getting rough as six regions were under attack and the enemies were winning. Tough battles were fought in the those regions. A lot of soldiers screamed with pain when they get hit. Innocent people died in the middle of the battles when they were trying to run away. Noone would escape the wrath of norwegian soldiers. British troops weren't so evil but that doesn't mean that they haven't killed innocent french people on purpose.<br />
In the battlefield the French troops were trying to keep the the enemies away but they couldn't do it. Besides with the war France was suffering an economic crisis which makes harder to buy supplies for the troops. <br />
As France was losing four of the six regions under attack they decided to call for the MA help was soon they would have lost ten regions.<br />
After eight hours of intense figthing the French lost five of the six regions. They lost more than one region that they were expecting because the Norwegian troops managed to intercept all the trucks that transported supplies to that region.<br />
<br />
Portugal after the request of help made by France sent his troops to the battlefield. It would take two days to reach Toulose where the French government was set. For Italy and Hungary would one day to reach Toulose aswell.<br />
<br />
Fourth day. Major attack by the British troops and the Norwegian troops. Eigth regions were under attack and in five of them the supply road was destroyed and it was suspectible to attacks. <br />
France was starting to collapse because of the economic situation but also because of the political tension. People were rioting in the regions that weren't under attack and were accusing the government for not being able to defend the country.<br />
In Toulose where the government was set and where most of the goods were protected by the Royal French Army people were protesting and were causing problems by getting involved into fighs with the police and with the Army. People were getting under arrested but that only contributted to get the situation worst. Inflation reached 260% in the fourth day of battle. But the most important thing that was being destroyed was the hope of surviving the war....<br />
<br />
Fifth day. France lost six regions. Most of the France was destroyed and the lands where battles were fought were completly destroyed. Only six regions left for France. But this time France had the advantage because the Italian Squad and the Hungarian Squad were here to help. But they could only help defending two regions. By this time inflation in France reached 280% and it didn't increase more because Hungary and Italy brought supplies with them and more were to come. Moral in the French army rised with the the Italian troops and the Hungarian troops.<br />
<br />
Sixth day. Portugal troops reach Toulose and started to distribute their supplies that they brought to the French Army.In the Portugal squad DrogbaPT was there and he was ready to figth. This was the first good news of that day since they had lost two hours two regions leaving France with only four regions to be conquered. The French governemnt asked the Portuguese Army to help build a wall in Toulose so that when the Norwegian troops and the British ones reach Toulose it would be harder for them to conquer France. Also some of the Italian and Hungarian squad stayed in Toulose to help reconstruct France.<br />
<br />
The only Portuguese troops that went help defend one of the regions of France was Lieutnant [[DrogbaPT]] and Captain [[DomiBoss]]. They went because they had leadership skills and in that region the french troops didn't have anyone high ranked.<br />
Another interesting fact is that in this region they would saw the british flag and they didn't see the Norway flag. DrogbaPT and DomiBoss asked one of the french soldiers if that was normal. He said that was the first time that they saw only one of the flags. Anyway they started figthing againts the british troops. DrogbaPT didn't figth for quite some time but he still was killing the soldiers that appeared in front of him. DomiBoss was doing the same. But the french troops were a bit surprised as the troops that they were figthing weren't as good as the ones fought before and they were less organized. After three hours of battle DrogbaPT was figthing againts two british soldiers and he managed to hit one of them mortally. The other was just a bit wounded. But the soldier dropped his weapon on the floor and begged DrogbaPT to kill him. DrogbaPT was surprised but instead of killing him he decided to take him to the interrogation room. When DrogbaPT returns to the battlefield DomiBoss tells him that the british soldiers retreated.<br />
Everyone was surprised especially the french troops and they got even more surprised when DrogbaPT told about the soldier that begged to kill him. So DomiBoss goes to the interrogation room. There he sees the british soldier crying. DomiBoss comes near him and asks him why he was crying. The british soldier revealed that he wasn't a british soldier but instead he was a belgium soldier. Belgium was conquered by United Kingdom and it was from the Belgium regions that the United Kingdom started the attack. The belgium solder also revealed that belgium soldiers and civil were being used in the war to lower the casualties and to get more soldiers in the field.<br />
That's when DrogbaPT and DomiBoss decided that they had to recover France and after that start the liberation of Belgium.<br />
When DrogbaPT and DomiBoss returned to Toulose, Commander Naadjh told them that they lost the other 3 regions and that their attacks had more people than before. That's when DrogbaPT tells everyone about the use of belgium people to prevent british and norwegian casualties. Everyone is shocked and they all agree to make the liberation of belgium.<br />
<br />
Seventh day. So only one region left and that was Toulose. This city was fortified by nature but many people helped construct more walls to make even more fortified and more capable of sustaining the attacks. Everyone had to figth and that means that civil were included. Weapons were distributted to everyone. Finally after three hours of waiting for the attack everyone sees the United Kingdom and Norway flag far away. They were comming but they had to win this figth no matter what. If France is conquered no other country for the MA would survive. Also Spain didn't send any troop or supplies. <br />
<br />
After a while the british troops and the norwegian troops reach Toulose and immidietly start the attack. There were a lot of soldiers in the battlefield as most of people in France was in Toulose aswell with the French army and the MA squads. <br />
Everyone starts figthing and we hear and see a lot of blood being dripped on the floor, heads flying, sreams, pain and horror. It's impossible to describe the battle as the french were figthing for their last land and the british and norwegian for the (hoped) final battle in that territory.<br />

'''Demokratiska Partiet''', or Democratic Party, is a gathering of libertarian thinkers within the realm of Erepublik. Our goal, and duty, is to achieve a society based on liberty and free choice. We know that the highest, most divine, moral one could ever rely on is the moral of always following one's duty. And the only duty one has, is the duty to always let liberty roam freely without limitation in society.<br />
<br />
We are here to spread the philosophy that once was preached by Immanuel Kant, enhanced by Ayn Rand and now used by us.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Danish and German Independence Now!''' was a political party in [[Sweden]]. After the independence of German territories, the party has split and been renamed [[Danish Independence NOW]].<br />
<br />
== Mission ==<br />
<br />
The party believes that the [[Sweden|Swedish]] occupation of the lands of [[Germany]], [[Poland]] and [[Denmark]] is morally bankrupt. With the help of the Minorities from these countries and Swedish sympathizers, they plan on either peacefully or forcefully taking back their lands from what they call the "Swedish Occupying Force".<br />
<br />
Despite this internationalist view the party is largely Dane-centric. Former Party Leader Pho3nix recently wrote an article on the future of Denmark where he stated the following plan:<br />
<br />
''"The first thing that would happen to a free Denmark is the inauguration of her Preisdent – which logically will be Grev Per. We have discussed this matter within DGIN, but a non-competing state would probably not be feasible in the long run. During the first time however, a state of political concurrency must be enforced to get the country back on it's feet properly. Companies needs to get started, goods needs to get produced and money needs to start circulating. To enable the general Danish populace to start companies the party will try to start some kind of foundation from which the inhabitants can lend a starting capital at long term, low rate interest. The owners of the foundation will probably be the top politicians of DGIN, however this has more to do with activity than choosing people. I simply don't know how many active players we have in our party, but everyone is welcome to join the foundation.<br />
[[Image:Snapphanar438_269368w.jpg|thumb|left|400|The rag-tag band of freedom fighters known as DGIN.]]<br />
''One thing we cherish is our own market. Thus, we cannot accept a free trade between Denmark and Sweden from day 1. The Swedish market is in comparison too big, and would flood the Danish market with cheap goods – making the Danish companies unable to compete on fair terms. The Poles might have ignored this point in their agreement and accepted free trade between Poland and Sweden. The question is whether the Swedish companies will have any success in Poland (solidarity playing?) or if the Polish companies will have a hard time establishing in their own market. To completely out rule Sweden as a partner in trade is however not our plan. We will focus on establishing the local market before introducing supra-territorial trade.''<br />
<br />
''Politically the party will probably split up in various factions. I have had plans to start a party of my own for some time, for one example. This discussion has not matured enough, since we have seen no concrete actions to liberate Denmark.''<br />
<br />
''Denmark will also not try to enhance it's territory, but plan to keep it's status as a small country made of win. Freedom of alliance is something we would like to have – but we will of course sign a NAA- aswell as an MPP-treaty with Sweden and her allies."''</div>Litrohttps://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php?title=Czech_Hospital_scandal&diff=140459Czech Hospital scandal2009-05-11T01:25:59Z<p>Litro: moved czech Hospital scandal to Czech Hospital scandal</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Image:Czech_Hospital.jpg|thumb|right|250px|SO - Czech OS Q1's (former owner of Czech Hospital company) avatar]]<br />
'''"Czech Hospital" scandal''' (also, rarely called '''Czechgate''') was a political scandal in [[Thailand]] in late October and early November 2008, when president [[Rockman 9]] (of [[Thai Nation Together]] party) proposed buying a Q1 hospital for 99 999 THB (83% of national treasury), despite claiming earlier he had an offer of buying a Q4 hospital for 10 000 THB. He also blackmailed the opposition, saying he would turn down the offer if they would fulfill his demands. Some of the money the "Czech Hospital" company received was refunded and given to key TNT people and some of their companies.<br />
<br />
==Conditions prior to the scandal==<br />
The October 25 congress elections were once again won by Thai Nation Together, although this time, due to a bug, they secured two thirds of the congress seats. In fact, they received only 31 percent of votes, while [[Thailand Reform Party]] scored more than a half of votes but got only one fifth of seats. Several TNT members started mocking the opposition but still claimed the elections were fair.<br />
<br />
Rockman 9 survived two impeachment votes, that created some tension between Major parties, with the second ending a day before the hospital proposal started. Because Rockman 9 was supported by TNT, he was almost impossible to impeach. To impeach the president, two thirds of positive votes are needed, however, all of the opposition parties had only one third all together.<br />
<br />
==Local reception==<br />
This decision was denounced by many opposition parties immediately. The congress decision was affirmative, with 16 congresspeople voting for and 11 voting against buying the hospital. Initial reaction from the opposition was to choose a single candidate for president. The election later turned out to be a two man race: incumbent [[Rockman 9]] versus six-party backed [[Jack Roberts]] of [[Sabai Unity Party]]. Rockman continued to mock his opponents and, as found out later, on October 24 he sent threats to the president of [[Pakistan]], requesting to liberate [[China]]. He refused to take this seriously and didn't respond with an invasion.<br />
<br />
Most of the TNT were real-life Brazilians and a lot of their conversations were held in the "outerspace.com" forum. Another ethnic Brazilian, [[Cavalcanti]] (of TRP), translated some of these conversations and published them in his newspaper. His sexual orientation (as well as other delicate topics) were later questioned in the forum. Shortly before the presidential election Rockman started calling himself "the Emperor" and even briefly renamed his newspaper "Emperor Rockman". After the election he announced he now has a daughter and won't have that much time to play, explaining his actions as roleplay and claiming that "someone has to be the evil character".<br />
<br />
Also, for some time the opposition compiled a whitelist consisting of companies not affiliated with TNT.<br />
<br />
==Global reception==<br />
Topics about the scandal were very discussed in the forums. Also, several articles about it were written outside Thailand.<br />
<br />
==Effect on economy==<br />
Due to a Bug no money was taken from eThailand Treasure, but the scandal still made some negative things in eThailand economy. The owner of the Hospital Company wasn´t banned, but starved to death.<br />

<br />
<b>Bukarest September 1'rst 2008</b><br />
<br />
The destruction brought by the combined forces of romanians, Swedes and other allied forces where to much. Not only did we manage to take down countless of PEACE GC forces but in the collateral damages was the Erepublik servers to be found. Totally destroyed.<br />
<br />
I woke up at 05:47 by some guys outside arguing loud and intense. I lived at the Kiwi Hostel in central Bukarest, the hotel was green and cheap, what more can one ask for? Well, the food could be better. Everytime I ordered Q4 all I've got was Q2. I complained so loud once that the hotelmanager came to my table. He pointed at a red bottle and said, "Everything is Q4 with Ketchup, use it!".<br />
<br />
The guys who woke me up where arguing about wheter it was a swede or not who had taken out the Erepublik Servers. Apparently it had been shoot by a M136 AT4 and where now spread out over an area larger then the original server room. I kept a low profile that morning.<br />
<br />
Since we managed to destroy the sever we now had a day without fighting. I decided to be a tourist for a day. I asked myself - what is eRomania known for? I knew that there where something that all the [[Goons]] and the Pakistanian people where yelling about everytime Romania came up as a topic.<br />
The answer was obvious - impartial admins and programmers! I just had to visit them!<br />
<br />
Said and done! I stepped in to a local liquer store nearby Unirii Square and asked an older man with a bottle of Ciuc in his hand.<br />
"Aah, the programmers and admins, they live just outside, in Geektown. You can take bus 404, on a good day it might get you there if you are lucky."<br />
The distance where less than 35 miles and the trip took well over six hours. The bus 404 had to stop several times and let all the passengers out, go back to the stop we passed last and then back to us again. We ran around like headless chickens by the time it finally stopped on Nerd Street in Geektown.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long to find a programmer, I spotted a pale guy in his late twenties, two inches taller than myself but probably 20 pounds lighter. He had bottle glasses and where sitting at a bench for his 'daily five miutes away from the computer' drinking jolt cola. His name was Razvan.<br />
Razvan was nice, he only got upset when we started to talk salaries, I've got 20 RON a day in the Food business and Razvan only got 7 RON. "I have skill 3.90 in PHP, I will reach 4 on wednesday! I will demand that Alexis Bonte give me a raise!" He said.<br />
<br />
I asked Razvan about the war - not mentioning that I was a swede and that it probably was one of my guys who had blown up the Server, Razvan was concered. "I like it here in Romania, he started. People are nice here, the nature is beautiful, so are the women. I don't want to be a Hungarian. Honestly, if you take a close look at most hungarians you see that they are missing pixels. Most of them lag a lot to, as a programmer I hate that!"<br />
<br />
Razvan was genuine, he was an honest and hard working man dreaming of finally manage to charm one of Dios Waifus and marry her (this time for real he said) and make her pregnant, something that Dio apparelty fails miserably with.<br />
<br />
I felt that Razvan was a guy worth fighting for!<br />
<br />
I had to do something! First I contacted the congress in Sweden and as soon as I got the green light I called in the other leaders in Atlantis who are helping romania. I gahtered them for an urgent meeting in Geektown.<br />
<br />
They all showed up, the argentinians, the brits, the oh so finish norwegians, the amerikans, the spainiards. But not only them, I had also called in the admins, Razwan and couple of guys showed up.<br />
<br />
<b>I held the meeting at an old gravel covered soccerfield. I lined up the Atlantis leaders on one side and Razvan and the other admins five feet in front of them.<br><br />
I looked at the Atlantis leaders and said: "Remember the Alamo?" The Atlantis leaders nodded. I used my foot to draw a line in the gravel, just in front of the Atlantis leaders and continued. "Look at these guys" They all looked at Razvan and his collegues, Razvan was pale, tired and had probably not slept for several days. "Now its time to REMEMBER THE ADMINS!"</b><br />
<br />
I continued immediately so no one had the chance to object and say things like: [These lines have been deleted. /Admin.] So i continued my speach with: "Romania will be defending tomorrow, its now she really need the help of Atlantis. We are all fighting here but we also need resourses. We need to put in more GOLD in the Romanian economic system.<br><br />
If all the Atlantis nations gives gold to their soldiers here in Romania then it would be a huge boost, both increasing your soldiers capacity to fight but also for the romanian economy.<br><br />
The soldiers will exchange their new given GOLD to RON at the Banca Nationla and thus providing Romania with gold also!"<br><br />
The leaders nodded, the message made sense.<br><br />
<b>"The swedish government have given clearence of 1000 GOLD to be divided out to the swedish paratroopers currently figting here in Romania, they will all be given the same amount. 10 GOLD each now and 10 new ones in about two days."</b> ''<nowiki>[This information was confirmed by </nowiki>[[Flammbar]]<nowiki>, the president of </nowiki>[[Sweden]]<nowiki>.] </nowiki>''<br />
<br />
I looked at the Atlantis leaders all lined up. Some of them had been generous already in the war, but a line up such as this would reveal if someone was trying to hide and let the rest of the Atlantis do all the dirty work for them.<br />
<br />
"Can your nations help Romania with GOLD also? Can you send GOLD to your troops figthing from Bukarest? Will you boost the fighting capability and at the same time help the romanian economy? Each country after its own resourses and capability. If you will - then take one step forward, name the sum, cross the line and fight for Romania. This day shall be known as: Remember the Admins!"<br />
<br />
<b>VOTE for GOLD to Romania, SUBSCRIBE to support the allied troops!</b><br />

<br />
UK branch of [[Aurum]]<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
To begin with [[Shadowukcs]] and [[Kaleb]] both ran very successfully businesses. Shadow owned healthcare, weapons and food companies. With Kaleb having a massively successful moving company along with a housing company, it made perfect sense for the two of them to join forces and have companies in 5 different sectors. They called their SO S-K corp. <br />
<br />
S-K corp applied for a name change to [[Aurum]] International, but at this point the admin haven't yet changed it.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Manufacturing Companies==<br />
=== [http://www.eRepublik.com/en/company/aurum-cuisine-1540 Aurum Cuisine](Q4) ===<br />
Aurum food was originally [[Nelsaidi]]'s company and he had sole ownership of it, however upon his joining [[Aurum]] it became part of the corporation, however nelsaidi still owns the large majority of the company. This is the first of Aurum's companies to receive the upgrade to Q5, on the very same day as v1 is released.<br />
<br />
=== [http://www.eRepublik.com/en/company/aurum-arms-2091 Aurum Arms] (Q4) ===<br />
This company was started up by shadow and remained Q3 for a long period of time, however with a shortage of Q4 weapons for the UK Paratropers, Aurum saw its chance to upgrade and took it. Aurum's shareholders are hoping that with future profits, they will be able to upgrade this company to Q5.<br />
<br />
=== [http://www.eRepublik.com/en/company/aurum-air-2313 Aurum Air] (Q1) ===<br />
This company was created by Kaleb and was already a massive company with plenty of export licenses before it became part of S-K corp. At this moment in time it is the 3rd most successful business in the UK. It hasn't seen the necessity to upgrade due to high Q moving companies having no real advantages pre-v1.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Construction Companies==<br />
=== [http://www.eRepublik.com/en/company/aurum-healthcare-25722 Aurum Healthcare] (Q4) ===<br />
This company was [[Shadowukcs]]'s to begin with, although [[Kaleb]] paid the 100 gold for its upgrade to Q4. It can produce a Q4 hospital in around 3 weeks, each of which sells for around 100gold. It is the aim of Aurum to upgrade this company to Q5 before the turn of the year.<br />
<br />
=== [http://www.eRepublik.com/en/company/aurum-housing-12431 Aurum Housing] (Q3) ===<br />
Formally known as Portakabin, this housing company was started by Kaleb and was Q2 for ages, until it got upgraded to Q3 on day 298.<br />

The eUSA Today was a newspaper published by citizen [[wahooBob]] in [[Virginia]], [[USA]]. It's first edition was printed on the 22nd of February, 2009. During its life of just over a month, 13 articles were published.<br />
<br />
== Mission Statement ==<br />
<br />
:The eUSA Today strives to report relevent news to eUS citizens, presenting it in a brief, compelling, and accurate format.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Final Edition ==<br />
On 16 March 2009, The eUSA Today published its final article under that name. As announced in the article ''The Final Edition'', the paper's editor WahooBob closed the paperin anticipation of a move to Thailand. He felt that he could no longer provide an accurate or compelling view of American news from the other side of the world. He planned to change the paper's name and begin publishing news in Thailand.</div>Litrohttps://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php?title=The_Vault&diff=136893The Vault2009-05-09T18:26:56Z<p>Litro: moved the Vault to The Vault</p>
<hr />
<div>[http://www.erepublik.com/profile-907322.html The Vault] is the official bank of [[Pakistan]], responsible for storing the nation's reserves of gold and PKR. Its goal is to keep [[Dio Brando|Dio's]] immense supply of gold both safe and accessible.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Thevault.jpg|center|The official bank of [[Pakistan]] and the [[Stardust Crusaders]]]]<br />
<br />
==Origins==<br />
<br />
The Vault was founded by [[User:JKD003|jkd003]] in early August 2008, after realizing that most of the impressive stores of gold Pakistan has were locked up in Dio Brando's account. Although our great God-Emperor is clearly the best user of money in all of eRepublik, His occasional absences left His loyal lieutenants unable to access it.<br />
<br />
The God-Emperor thus approved The Vault as a means for his chief economic advisers to keep track of and use the gold, even when He is away performing miracles for all the world to see. Over the next few months, most of the gold used by the Pakistani government will be transferred to the account for safe keeping and easy access.<br />
<br />
The infinite wisdom of Dio in approving The Vault was made obvious shortly after the bank was created, when filthy hackers stole the [[Pakistani Space Program]] and its companies, firing all the workers as well as making off with thousands of PKR. Fortunately, all the gold from the program had already been transferred to The Vault, preventing the hacker from obtaining it.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Owners==<br />
<br />
The current owners of The Vault are:<br />
<br />
- [[Dio Brando]] - [[User:JKD003|jkd003]] - [[AgentChieftain]] - [[User:SenorSchlong|Senor Schlong]] - [[User:Touchdown thurman thomas|Touchdown thurman thomas]]<br />
<br />
<br />
==The Count==<br />
<br />
[[image:TheCount.jpg|right|AH AH AH!]]<br />
<br />
Count von Count is both the name of The Vault's official newspaper and the name of its chief accountant. The famed purple Muppet, who was recently granted the title of Count by God-Emperor Dio, is constantly found counting up every single piece of gold and PKR within the bank, ensuring that it is all accounted for. In return for this valuable service, the Count asks to be paid in giant plastic numbers.<br />
<br />
The [http://www.erepublik.com/company-134931.html newspaper] is used by the owners of The Vault to communicate to the population of Pakistan. Early in the Pakistani Space Program hacking crisis, the paper assured Pakistanis that all the PSP gold was safe within its confines.<br />

<br />
The "Opportunistic Strategies" thrive on situations where vulnerabilities can be exploited. The idea is to capitalize on all opportunities so as to gain the advantage.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Creating Something from Nothing ==<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Quote|During the An Lushan rebellion, the Tang general Zhang Xun was under siege by the forces of general Linghu Chao. Outnumbered twenty to one, the defending Tang forces soon ran out of arrows. To remedy this General Zhang ordered his men to make straw dummies and dress them in black uniforms. That night the dummies were lowered over the city walls by ropes, accompanied to the beat of war drums and gongs. General Linghu thought the enemy was launching a surprise night offensive and ordered his archers to shower the figures descending the walls with arrows. Once the dummies where riddled with arrows, the Tang soldiers pulled them back up over the walls, thus restoring their supply of arrows.<br><br>The next day General Linghu, feeling humiliated, attacked the walls in revenge. That night the Tang again lowered the dummies but General Linghu ordered his men to ignore them believing it was the same trick to get more arrows. When General Zhang saw that no one was firing at the straw dummies, he ordered five hundred of his best troops to be lowered instead. They made a lightning raid on the encamped soldiers, catching them completely by surprise. The siege was lifted and General Linghu's army fled the field.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Direct attack and indirect attack are interchangeable depending on the enemy's expectation. Here a feint (Nothing) becomes the direct attack (Something) which, due to the enemy's assumptions, is in fact an indirect attack.<br />
<br />
If you use the same feint twice, having react to the first and often the second as well, the enemy will be hesitant to react to the third feint. Therefore, the third feint is the actual attack catching your enemy with his guard down.<br />
<br />
This is another efficient battle strategy. Feint a false attack two times, and the third the enemy will be unprepared. You can use the media or the enemy spies to spread rumors about your battle plans, and secretly send other orders to your troops. If you deceive your enemy, you'll be able to surprise them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Secret Escape through Chen Cang ==<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Quote|Toward the end of the Qin dynasty, Liu Qi was given the governorship of the remote province of Han, after helping with the capture of the capital for the rebel lord Xiang Yu. This in effect exiled Liu Qi, because Xiang Yu was afraid and ashamed of his superiority, and spared the threat of his presence at the new court.<br><br>The shortest path to reach Han was through a precipitous valley where part of the road consisted of a wooden walkway that ran along the steep cliff walls and which was supported by beams inserted into deep holes carved into the solid rock. Liu Qi's advisor, Jian Liang concerned that Xiang Yu might think them to much of a threat to allow them to escape said, “Would it not be wise to burn and destroy the wooden roadway which you have passed over? This would prove to the world that you have no intention of marching east again and thus set Xiang Yu's mind at ease.” Liu Qi agreed and the army burned the walkway as they passed.<br><br>However, after a month of preparation, Liu Qi was ready to march east and fight Xiang Yu for control of the empire. First he ordered a large work detail to begin repairing the wooden walk-way while secretly sending his main force along narrow mountain trails through Chen Cang. When news that they were repairing the walkway reached Xiang Yu, he ordered the king of Yong, Chang Han, to lead an army and position themselves at the terminus of the walkway. There they could bottle Liu Qi's forces in a narrow valley leaving them with no chance of breaking out. This was the obvious strategy for such a situation and Liu Qi had counted on whoever was sent to oppose him to use it.<br><br>Liu Qi's general Han Xin, who had set out weeks earlier, came out of the mountains well behind Chang's troops who were waiting at the valley entrance. They launched a surprise attack from the rear while Liu Qi and his troops charged out of the valley from the front. Chang was defeated and Liu Qi would triumph in the end and become the Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Against seasoned and wary opponent, feints will prove to be ineffective. Instead one must make an actual attack to gain his attention. Once his forces are concentrated in defending the obvious attack, you attack from a second direction, thus catching him by surprise and dividing their army.<br />
<br />
This can be a difficult strategy to implement in the game, but you can complement the “Clamor in the East, Attack in the West”. A true convergent assault is vastly different from a feint or bolding attack by one force with the aims to divert the enemy from the main blow, while the other aims to divide the enemy forces.<br />
<br />
If you think the enemy will know your feint for the next battle, you can surprise them again with two true attacks. They'll divide their troops between different objectives to try to predict your true attack, or they can try to wait until the last moment to select the objective to defend. If you strike several objectives, you can surprise their forces (again) and reduce their defensive response.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Observing the Fire on the Other Side of the River ==<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Quote|In the early years of the Three Kingdom period, the warlord Cao Cao had defeated and killed his rival Yuan Shao. After his death, Yuan Shao's three sons began fighting over the succession. Cao Cao decided to launch another attack, but as soon as he began to mobilize his troops the sons united their forces against him. Then one of the ministers, Guo Jian, said, “When we attacked we provided the three sons a common enemy to unite them. Let us bide our time and allow them to resume fighting amongst themselves. After they have weakened themselves we can attack again”. Cao Cao withdrew his army and soon the Yuan brothers renewed their squabbling. Eventually the two younger brothers won out and the eldest brother was killed. During this time Cao Cao had started attacking outlying provinces. By the time the eldest brother was killed, the two remaining brothers feared engaging Cao Cao and instead fled to a distant province in the northeast, under the control of Gongsun Gang. Some ministers urged Cao Cao to pursue the brothers before they could elicit the help of the barbarians, but Cao Cao ordered his troops to withdraw and assured his minister that Gongsun would soon send him the heads of the two brothers.<br><br>Shortly thereafter a courier brought the two heads neatly wrapped and boxed. When asked by the confounded minister for an explanation Cao Cao told them, “If I had attacked the brothers, Gongsun would assume that he would be next to fall under my dominion and his logical choice would be to unite with the brothers against me. But if I provided no threat to Gongsun then the success of the two brothers would be his next immediate threat. Since I did not present the threat, Gongsun was able to eliminate his next possible threat ten and there”.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
An ancient parable says, “Sit on the mountain and watch two tigers fight”. This strategy is similar to “Looting a Burning House”, but in this case the enemy will be engaged with another enemy, not an internal turmoil. If you delay entering the field of battle until all the other players have become exhausted fighting amongst themselves. You'll have the upper hand, and will fight with full strength, picking up the pieces.<br />
<br />
When there are several players each competing with the other to attain the same goal, restrain yourself from being drawn into the fray. While it may seem opportunity is slipping past, wait and watch. Either the goal will reveal itself as not worth fighting for, or you can attain it later with far less effort.<br />
<br />
As has been told with other strategies, wait until your enemies (or friends) are weak after fighting and then strike to achieve your own objective. Patience is one of the sharpest weapons.<br />
<br />
<br />

== A Dagger Hidden in a Smile ==<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Quote|During the Warring States period, General Yang of Qin invaded the state of Wei and laid siege to the city of Wu. The king of Wei, already weakened from a previous battle, was unwilling to face another engagement and asked his counselors for advice. One of his officials, minister Ying, said, "General Yang was originally a native of Wei and in our youth he and I were close friends. I therefore request to be allowed to go personally to appeal to our friendship and try to persuade him into lifting the siege." The king agreed and sent the minister to Wu.<br><br>When he arrived, minister Ying sent a message asking for a meeting outside the city walls in three days to discuss a mutual retreat. When general Yang received the message that his old friend was in charge of the city's defense and was requesting peace negotiations he readily agreed. Three days later minister Ying left the city and, to show his good faith, was accompanied by only three hundred men. General Yang greeted his old friend with open arms and invited him and his men to a banquet. During the celebrations, minister Ying and his men were seized and their uniforms taken. Dressed like Wei soldiers, the men of Qin marched back to the city and ordered the gates opened. As soon as the gates were open they rushed in and seized the city. The trusting minister Ying was taken back to Qin as captive.}}<br />

Charm and ingratiate yourself to your enemy. When you have gained his trust, you move against them in secret. In any contest where the stakes are high, kindness and goodwill are quickly discarded. To hide sinister intentions behind the facade of friendship and loyalty is standard practice in the upper echelons of power and politics. You can always talk about peace and ceasefires to weaken the enemy defense, or tell different things to two enemy countries to begin a war between the two.<br />
<br />
Use with caution tactics like this, because in a game like Erepublik the image of your character for the world can be very important. If you always manipulate and lie to your allies, nobody will entrust your words and at the end this strategy will be useless.<br />

{{Quote|While in residence at the Qi court, lord Meng Zhang sent his retainer Feng Xuan to collect the taxes from his little fief in Xue. Before he left, Feng asked his lord, "Is there anything I may buy for you when I return?"<br><br>"If you see something my house lacks, buy it", replied the lord.<br><br>Feng Xuan went to Xue and sent out officers to summon the people to settle their debts. When he had collected all the tallies Feng feigned that he had received an order from Lord Meng absolving all outstanding debts. He returned all the money, burned the tallies, and returned to Qi. The next day Feng called on Lord Meng who was surprised to see him return so soon. "Why have you return so speedily? Have th edebts been collected? asked the lord.<br><br>"They have already been collected", was the reply.<br><br>"What did you purchase on your return?"<br><br>"My Lord asked me to see if there was anything your house lacked. It was my humble opinion that your castle was filled with precious objects, that your stables abounded with steeds, and the lower palaces with beauties. It seemed that only one thing was lacking, and that was fealty. This I bought my Lord."<br><br>"How can one buy fealty?" asked Lord Meng.<br><br>"At the moment you hold the little fief of Xue, yet you do not cherish the people there as your own children, but look on them as a source of profit," replied Feng. "Your servant took it upon himself to feign an order from you relieving the people of their debts and they cheered your name. That is how your servant purchased fealty."<br><br>Lord Meng was displeased but said, "So be it! You may now rest, sir."<br><br>A year later the old king of Qi died and the new king distrusted all of his predecessor's advisors. Lord meng was informed he was being relieved of his duties and sent back to govern his own fief. Lord Meng and his entoruage set out to return to Xue, but when they were still a hundred miles from the city, all its people, even the elderly and children, came out midway to welcome their lord in joyous celebration. Lord Meng turned to Feng and said, "Your purchase of fealty on my behalf is apparent to me today."<br><br>"My lord", replied Feng, "even the wiliest rabbit needs more than one bolt hole to escape to in order to survive".}}<br />

There are circumstances in which you must sacrifice short term objectives in order to gain the long term goal. In order to gain one thing it's ofter necessary to lose another. Trying to hold on to everything at once may cause you in the end to lose everything. Instead sacrifice smaller concerns to strengthen your more important endeavor.<br />
<br />
Never hesitate to do whatever is necessary to achieve your objectives. It could be money and gold, or a region to be used as a decoy, or the wellness of some of your fighters, the most important is the final goal. If some sacrifices turn easy to achieve the true goals, it'll be a good exchange.<br />

{{Quote|During one of the north expeditions of Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period, his troops were having problems with provisions. Zhuge Liang tried to bring on a battle, and daily sent champions to provoke a combat. But the men of Wei would not come out. Then Zhuge Liang called Jiang Wei and certain others to him and said, "The enemy refuse battle, because they know we are short of food. We can get none by way of Chencang, and all other roads are very difficult. I reckon the grain we brought with us will not last a month. What must we do?"<br><br>While thus perplexed, they heard that many carts of provisions for Wei were passing by from the West Valley Land, and the convoy was commanded by Sun Li.<br><br>"What is known of this Sun Li?" asked Zhuge Liang.<br><br>A certain man of Wei replied, "He is a bold man. Once he was out hunting with the Ruler of Wei on Great Rock Hill, and a tiger suddenly appeared in front of his master's chariot. He jumped off his horse and dispatched the beast with his sword. He was rewarded with a Commandership. He is an intimate friend of Cao Zhen."<br><br>"This is a ruse," said Zhuge Liang. "They know we are short of food, and those carts are only a temptation. They are laden with combustibles. How can they imagine that I shall be deceived by this sort of thing, when I have fought them with fire so many times? If we go to seize the convoy, they will come and raid our camp. But I will meet ruse with ruse."<br><br>Then Zhuge Liang sent Ma Dai with order: "You and three thousand troops are to make your way to the enemy's store camp and, when the wind serves, to start a fire. When the stores are burning, the soldiers of Wei will come to surround our camp. That is how we will provoke a battle." He also sent Ma Zheng and Zhang Ni with five thousand troops each to halt near the camp so that they might attack from without. These having gone, he called Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, and said, "The outermost camp of Wei is on the main road. This night, when the enemy see a blaze, our camp will be attacked, so you two are to lie in wait on the two sides of the Wei camp and seize it when they have left." Calling Hu Ban and Wu Yi, he said, "You are to lie in wait outside the camp to cut off the retreat of the force of Wei." All these arrangements made, Zhuge Liang betook himself to a summit of the Qishan Mountains to watch the results.<br><br>The soldiers of Wei heard that their enemies were coming to seize the grain convoy and ran to tell Sun Li, who sent on a message to Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen sent to the chief camp for Zhang Hu and Yue Chen and told them, "Look out for a signal blaze; that would mean the coming of the army of Shu, and then you are to raid the Shu camp immediately." Meanwhile Sun Li marched over and hid in the west hills to await the coming of the men of Shu.<br><br>That night, at the second watch, Ma Dai came with his troops all silent. They saw tier after tier of carts on the hills, making an enclosure like a walled camp, and on the carts were planted many flags. They waited. Presently the southwest wind came up, and then they launched the fire. Soon all the carts were in a blaze that lit up the sky.<br><br>Sun Li saw the blaze and could only conclude that the troops of Shu had arrived and his own side were giving the signal, so he dashed out to attack. But soon two parties of soldiers were heard behind him closing in. These were Ma Zheng and Zhang Ni, who soon had Sun Li as in a net. Then he heard a third ominous roll of drums, which heralded the approach of Ma Dai from the direction of the blaze. Under these several attacks, the troops of Wei quailed and gave way.<br><br>When Zhang Hu and Yue Chen saw the fire, they threw open the gates of their camp and sallied forth to help defeat the army of Shu by seizing their camp. But when they reached the Shu camp, they found it empty. So they hurried to set out to return. That was the moment for Hu Ban and Wu Yi to appear and cut off their retreat. However, they fought bravely and got through. But when at length they reached their own camp, they were met by arrows flying thick as locusts. For Guan Xing and Zhang Bao had taken possession in their absence.<br><br>They could only set out for headquarters to report their mishap. As they neared Cao Zhen's camp, they met another remnant marching up. They were Sun Li's soldiers, and the two parties went into camp together and told the tale of their victimization. Cao Zhen thereafter looked to his defenses and attacked no more.}}<br />

While carrying out your plans you must always be flexible enough to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself, however small, and avail yourself of any profit, however slight. This is not really a strategy, since it's dependent on fortuitous circumstance which you cannot apply at will. Instead, this strategy advises one to always remain alert to the current situation and search for unexpected opportunities.<br />
<br />
There are always certain events that can change the course of a war if you are enough clever to use them to your advantage. National holidays of the enemy country, a scandal, the sale of an important company.

He questioned several people, but no one could tell him who was the thief. So, Magistrate Chen laid a trap for those he suspected. "I know of a temple", he told them, "whose bell has great spiritual power that can tell a thief from a honest man. Since my investigation is at a standstill we must employ the supernatural powers of the bell to solve the matter."<br><br>The magistrate had the bell brought to the courthouse and displayed in the rear chamber. Then he had the suspects brought in to testify to their guilt or innocence. He explained to them that if an innocent man touched the bell it would remain silent, but if a guilty man touched the bell it would ring out. After lighting incense and chanting prayers, the magistrate had curtains erected around the bell. Previously he had instructed one of his assistants to secretly smear ink on the bell after the curtains were closed. Each suspect was then told to place his hand through the curtain and touch the bell. As they withdrew their hands Chen would examine them. Everyone's hands were stained except those of one man, who finally confessed the theft. He did not touch the bell for fear it would ring.}}<br />

When you cannot detect the opponent's plans launch a direct, but brief, attack and observe your opponent's reactions. His behavior will reveal his strategy. A seasoned warrior will know this strategy well and will not reveal his true intentions, but the inexperienced, nervous of making a mistake in such a high stakes game, will overreact to feints and will thus reveal their weakness.<br />
<br />
Each enemy has his own plans for the battle and the war. If you know this plan, the victory will be easy to achieve. While you are preparing a war, create a false menace to see how the country and its govern reacts. Observe their deficiencies and weak points, observe the cunning and the silly leaders, observe what countries come to help them and their numbers.<br />
<br />
While you are fighting in the war, you can use the first battle to test their global strategy. Observe if they are organized and disciplined, observe if they fill the battle fields waiting an enemy or wait until the last minute to attack, observe if they use their public newspaper to transmit orders or a private medium, observe if their soldiers obey the orders of their officers or fight at their own will.<br />
<br />
With all this information, you will know how to fight and win against your enemy. You'll have the upper hand.<br />

{{Quote|At the end of the Han Dynasty, a peasant rebellion against the emperor, known as the Yellow Turbans, break out. Some years of famine and floods were seen as an indication that the emperor had lost the Mandate of Heaven, the support of the heavens to rule the earth. This believe that natural disasters were linked with a bad govern, permitted Zhang Jiao, the leader of the sect of the Yellow Turbans, to rise a national rebellion throughout the empire.<br><br>Zhang Jiao and the other leaders used their knowledge of medicine and Taoism to cure the sick by confession of sins and by faith healing. The religion and the politics of the Zhang brothers were based on belief in an apocalyptic change in the order of the world and the fall of the Han. They used the religious beliefs of the people and some magic tricks to raise an army, the army of the followers of the "Way of Supreme Peace". The rebels thought that a deity had given a sacred book called the "Crucial Keys of the Way of Peace" to Zhan Jiao, so his men and enemies fear the unknown magic powers of the sorcerer.<br><br>The rebellion was crushed but they needed the power of all the local warlords of the empire and the mobilization of almost all their armies. All the power of the Yellow Turbans who threaten a whole empire was based in the believes of the people, and the cunning use of secrets know by the common people as magic.}}<br />

Take an institution, a technology, or a method that has been forgotten or discarded and appropriate it for your own purposes. Revive something from the past by giving it a new purpose or to reinterpret and bring to life old ideas, customs and traditions. Symbols, myths, institutions and philosophies have an inherent moral and emotional power. This power can be appropriated and used to serve the goals of a higher strategy.<br />
<br />
In a game like Erepublik can be very difficult (and dangerous) to use the believes of the people, specially the religious believes. In an empirical and scientific age like this, can be a challenge to manipulate a group of people in an internet game using the mysticism, but you can use philosophy and political believes to achieve the same goal. Extreme politics like communism or anarchism can be use to manipulate the acts of people. With a mixture of economy and capitalism you can persuade many people to do almost everything. Use modern symbols and heroes, from real world or fiction to inspire your people or to convince the enemy to not fight or to join your side.<br />
<br />
Like gods, influence with admins can be used to influence, threaten and intimidate your enemies. Even if the leader of your enemies also talks with the admins, it'll be difficult to convince their soldiers/citizens of their neutrality. Fighters will interpret any random and accidental event as a direct action of the admins, and if the situations is against them they will lose all their morale.<br />

{{Quote|During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Ce had consolidated his newly conquered territories in the south and his next goal was the prosperous area of Lujiang to the north. However, Lujiang had a professional army and was well defended. In addition it also had the advantage of terrain, being accessible only through a couple of easily defended passes. Sun Ce's advisers cautioned against moving directly against such a well entrenched and powerful state so they devised another scheme.<br><br>Sun Ce sent an emissary laden with gifts and a letter to the king of Lujiang, Liu Xun. The letter praised the king's military skills and begged for his assistance. Sun Ce wrote, "For years the state of Shangliao has invaded my territory unhindered and carried away booty, yet we are too weak to launch a retaliatory raid. If your Majesty would attack Sangliao we would give assistance and you could annex the state for yourself." Flattered and covetous of increasing his domains, the king of Lujiang disregarded the advice of his counselors and attacked the state of Shangliao.<br><br>Several weeks later, while the king of Lujian was busy laying siege to Shangliao's capital, Sun Ce attacked the almost undefended Lujiang and easily seized the capital. Without the expected support from Sun Ce, the king of Lujiang failed to take the capital of Shangliao and he returned only to find his own capital already in enemy hands. Sun Ce now had the advantage of the Lujiang terrain and the former king could do nothing but flee with his army.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
From the beginning of organized warfare, frontal attacks against prepared defenses have usually failed. You must never attack a well entrenched opponent. Instead you must lure him away from his stronghold and separate him from his source of strength. Through trickery and deception the enemy must be lured away from his advantageous position. Once out in the open he will expose weaknesses that can then be attacked.<br />
<br />
There are three strategies in this text that describe a similar tactic. The others are "Tossing out a Brick to Get a Jade" and "Lure the Enemy onto the Roof, then Remove the Ladder". All three describe the basic strategy of setting an ambush, and then using something as bait to lure the enemy into the trap. This strategy uses bait to lure an enemy out from his defensive position. The second, "Tossing out a Brick to Get a Jade", refers to the use of a seemingly precious object, such as Gold, supplies or weapons, to lure the enemy into an ambush. The third, "Lure the Enemy onto the Roof, then Remove the Ladder", consist in luring the enemy into a swamp, up a mountain or across a river.<br />
<br />
In game terms, you must use your tricks to weaken or destroy your enemy. The more important defenses of the enemy will be his hospitals and his MPPs. It's difficult to deceive the enemy to lose one of his hospitals, but it's really easy to lure your enemy to lose his MPPs. You only need to provoke the other country to begin the war, or convince them to cancel their MPPs (normally before they know of your attack).<br />

{{Quote|In the Spring and Autumn period, an alliance of states headed by Wu overran and defeated the army of Chu. The remaining Chu troops were in retreat. The king of Wu wanted to pursue and destroy the fleeing army but was held back by his younger brother Fu Gai who said, "A cornered beast will fight to the finish, how much more an army of warriors. If they know there's no escape they will fight to the death, they are bound to overpower us. However, if we allow them to reach and cross the river then, one in their home territory, they will think only of escaping the field."<br><br>The king followed his brother's advice and allowed the Chu army to cross the river. Once on the other side, the Chu soldiers began preparing food since they had not eaten in a long time. When the Wu army finally arrived on the opposite shore, the Chu soldiers abandoned their cooking fires and scattered into the countryside. The Wu army followed after and easily conquered the Chu capital of Yingdu.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
Cornered preys will often mount a final desperate attack. To prevent this you let the enemy believe he still has a chance for freedom. His will to fight is thus dampened by his desire to escape. When in the end the freedom is proven a falsehood the enemy's morale will be defeated and he will surrender easily to his fate. If the advantage of power lies in your favor you must beware not to place the enemy's forces in a position where they will fight to the end against you.<br />
<br />
As a basic strategy, you must always let an exit for your enemies. This alternative can be talks about peace and the end of the war, or even the promise of a friendly country that they will move to help in the defense. Let the enemy know they still have hopes of survive and preserve their own country, their companies and their parties, and they will not fight to the death, spending all their Gold in a desperate battle. If you give them a hope, they will save their last resort for later, and your attack will be easy.<br />

{{Quote|During the Han dynasty, General Li Mu was sent north to deal with the continuing problem of the Xiongnu. Every time General Li sought to fight a decisive battle with the nomads they would melt away into the endless expanse of the grasslands. Seeking to entice them into a position where they could be attacked, General Li devised the following strategy:<br><br>He departed southwards with the main body as if returning home, but he ordered that his baggage train and accompanying heard of cattle lag behind. The Xiongnu, believing the general had given up, saw an opportunity to raid his trains and capture the prized herd. They followed behind the retreating army waiting for the right moment to seize the baggage train. Each day General Li allowed the baggage train to trail further behind until he came to a fork in the road that was surrounded by gently rising hills. Judging this terrain to be ideal for his plans, General Li positioned his best troops in ambush behind the hills. He then gave orders for the baggage train to rest in the fork while the remainder of the army continued along the road.<br><br>The Xiongnu, seeing the main body off in the distance while the baggage train was resting unprotected, rushed into the valley to attack. There they were ambushed from three sides, and over one hundred thousand nomad cavalrymen were killed.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
To know where and when your enemy plans to move is to have the advantage of foreknowledge. This can be accomplished by offering your enemy something he greatly desires. Prepare a trap, then lure your enemy into the trap by using bait. In war the best bait is the illusion of an opportunity for gain. In life the bait is the illusion of wealth, power and sex.<br />
<br />
If you deceive your enemy, then you'll be able to control when and where he will be. You can pretend to be weak and disorganized, with few international allies, and your enemy will attack without considering their own strategy and paying for the war.<br />
<br />
In the war, you can leave a province with many states and an important hospital unprotected, and see how your enemy accumulate their troops in the zone, trying to conquer it. With this, you will be able to weaken their strength thanks to your defensive bonus, and increase the victories (and military rank) of your soldiers.<br />

{{Quote|In 756 B.C. the rebel commander Yin Ziqi led an army to lay siege against the strategic city of Suiyang. The defending commander, Zhang Xun, noticed that Yun Ziqi oversaw the siege from well outside the range of the city's archers. He believed that if he could take out the leader the rebel's borale would sink and he would be able to launch a counter attack. He devised a plan with his best archers.<br><br>The next time the rebels assailed the wal they were to shoot back using the branches of trees. When Yin Ziqi heard that the defenders were reduce to shooting with branches he felt certain the city was ready to be taken. Before the next assault he moved in closer to better oversee the final victory. Riding atop his horse, he unknowingly came within range of the archers who had saved their arrows for just such a moment. One arrow hit Yin Ziqi in the left eye killing him instantly. The spectacle of their commander's death in front of almost the entire rebel army served to demoralize them to such an extent that they quickly dispersed from the field.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
If the enemy's army is strong but is allied to the commander only by money or threats then, take aim at the leader. If the commander falls the rest of the army will disperse or come over to your side. If, however, they are allied to the leader through loyalty or common objectives then beware, the army can continue to fight on after his death out of vengeance. In the game, you can't kill the enemy leader in such a way, but you can remove him with other methods: spread rumors about him to lower the loyalty and respect of his troops. You can also try to deceive him to commit an error and "disappear" from the game, but only as an extreme measure.<br />
<br />
As a rule, mercenary forces only fight as long as there is someone to sign the paycheck, or if they are in danger to their lives. An enemy who uses mercenary forces is susceptible to lose their help, whereas in a national army, where the soldiers and commanders are related through strong links of unity and a common objective, killing the leader would not stop the rest of the army from attacking.</div>Litrohttps://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php?title=Beta:The_Unorthodox_Thirty-Six_Strategies_of_Erepublik/Desperate_Strategies&diff=136887Beta:The Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik/Desperate Strategies2009-05-09T18:26:54Z<p>Litro: moved the Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik/Desperate Strategies to The Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik/Desperate Strategies</p>

{{Quote|At the beginning of the Three Kingdoms period, the prime minister of Han, Cao Cao, was pursuing the warlord Liu Bei who was forced to flee to Jiangxia. As a desperate measure, his strategist Zhuge Liang said him: "Cao Cao's power is too great for us to cope with. Let us go over the South Land and ask help from Sun Quan. If we can set north and south at grips, we ougth to be able to get some advantage from our intermediate position between them."<br><br>Liu Bei approved the plan, and some days later Lu Su arrived from the south to investigate the menace of Cao Cao. Zhuge Liang managed to trick Lu Su to believe that the better way to resist the plans of Cao Cao was to join forces. Both crossed the Great River and went to see Sun Quan, but in the South Lands the political advisers and the generals of the army were divided. The advisers wanted to give up to Cao Cao, because they will be capable to maintain their political possitions at the court. At the other side, the generals were capable to see the great danger for their lord and were ready to fight until death.<br><br>Sun Quan was undecided: "If I fight, I might fail. But if I offer to surrender, perhaps Cao Cao will not tolerate me". So he choose to ask counsel to General Zhou Yu.<br><br>When the great general and strategist Zhou Yu arrived, he was meet by both sides: political and military advisers, who tried to convince him to join and support their side. Knowing that he hadn't yet all the information, Zhou Yu dismissed both groups assuring his support for the submit or the war against Cao. After reassure both sides, Zhou Yu called for Zhuge Liang, who came with Lu Su to explain their proposal. When they had taken their proper seats, Lu Su spole first, saying, "Cao Cao has come against South Land with a huge army. Our master cannot decide whether to submit or give battle and waits for your decision. What is your opinion?"<br><br>Zhou Yu replied, "We may not oppose Cao Cao when he acts at the command of the Emperor. Moreover, he is very strong, and to attack him is to take serious risks. In my opinion, opposition would mean defeat and, since submission means peace, I have decided to advise our lord to write and offer surrender."<br><br>The two wrangled for a long time, while Zhuge Liang sat smiling with folder arms. Presently Zhou Yu asked, "Why do you smile thus, Master?"<br><br>And Zhuge Liang replied, "I am smiling at no other than your opponen Lu Su, who knows nothing of the affairs of the day. The intention of submit is perfectly reasonable. It is the one proper thing."<br><br>"There!" exclaimed Zhou yu. "Zhuge Liang knows the times perfectly well, and he agrees with me."<br><br>"But, both of you, why do you say this?" said Lu Su.<br><br>Said Zhuge Liang, "Cao Cao is an excellent commander, so good that no one dares oppose him. Only very few have ever attempted it, and they have been exterminated, the world knows them no more. The only exception is Liu Bei, who did not understand the conditions and vigorously contended against him, with the result that he is now at Jiangxia in a very parlous state. To submit is to secure the safety of wives and children, to be rich and honored. But the dignity of the country would be left to chance and fate; however, that is not worth consideration."<br><br>Lu Su interrupted angrily, "Would you make our lord crook the knee to such a rebel as Cao Cao?"<br><br>"Well, " repliead Zhuge Liang, "there is another way, and a cheaper. There would be no need to 'lead the sheep and shoulder wine pots' for presents, nor any need to yield territory and surrender seals of office. It would not even be necessary to cross the river yourselves. All you would require is a simple messenger and a little boat to ferry a couple of persons across the river. If Cao Cao only got these two under his hand, his hordes and legions would just drop their weapons, furl their banners, and silently vanish away."<br><br>"What two persons could cause Cao Cao to go away as you say?" asked Zhou Yu.<br><br>"Two persons who culd be easily spared from this populous country. They would not be missed any more than a leaf from a tree or a grain of millet from a granary. But if Cao Cao could only get them, would he not go away rejoicing? When I was living in the country, they told me that Cao Cao was building a pavilion on the River Zhang. It was to be named the Bronze Bird Tower. It is an exceedingly handsome building, and he has sought throughout all the world for the most beautiful women to live in it. For Cao Cao really is a sensualist. Now there are two very famous beauties in Wu, born of the Qiao family. So beautiful are they that birds alight and fishes drown, the moon hides her face and the flowers blush for shame at sight of them. Cao Cao has declared with an oath that he only wants two things in this world: The imperial throne in peace and the sight of those two women on the Bronze Bird Terraces. Given these two, he would go down to his grave without regret. This expedition of his, his huge army that threatens this country, has for its real aim these two women. Why do you not buy these two from their father, the State Patriarch Qiao, for any sum however large and send them over the river? The object of the army being attained, it will simply be marched away."<br><br>Zhou Yu listened to the end, but then suddenly jumped up in a tremendous rage. Turning to the north and pointing with his finger, he cried, "You old rebel, this insult is too deep!"<br><br>Zhuge Liang hastily rose too and soothed him, saying, "But remember the Khan of the Xiongnu People. The Han emperor gave him a princess of the family to wife although he had made many incursions into our territory. That was the price of peace. You surely would not grudge two more women from among the common people."<br><br>"You do not know, Sir," replied Zhou Yu. "Of those two women of the Qiao family you mentioned, Elder Qiao is the widow of Sun Ce, our late ruler, and Younger Qiao is my wife!. One of us two has to go: Either the old rebel Cao or I. We shall not both live. I swear that!" cried Zhou Yu. And with this, the kingdom of Wu fought against Cao Cao and his million men in the famous battle of Chi Bi. Zhou Yu was able to achieve victory thanks to the tactics of Zhuge Liang, and at the end Liu Bei conquered the territories at the other side of the Great River, without fighting for them.}}<br />

Sima Fa said in the Seven Military Classics: "Increase the enemy's excesses, seize what he loves. Then we, acting from without, can cause a response from within". The power of a beautiful woman, as suggested in this tactic, is her ability to arouse intense feelings in those around her. Lust, jealousy, envy, and hatred are powerful emotions that create an atmosphere in which rational though becomes impossible. This is psychological warfare at it most insidious.<br />

Inside Erepublik is difficult to use the femenine charms because there isn't any distinction between men and women, between masculinity and femininity. But the core of the strategy is to use the human emotions to force the enemy to make mistakes. As has been described in the strategy "Borrowing a Corpse to Raise a Spirit", you can use emotions and experiences from real life to confuse the enemy. In this case, you can use a charming character (for his/her personallity and charisma) to create internal fights. You can work this strategy in three levels. First, the "spy" can charm the enemy leader to neglect his duties and allow his vigilance to wane. Second, the spy can charm the leader to raise the jealousy and envy of his partners. Third, the spy can gather information while talking with the enemy leader or led him to a "honey trap".<br />

{{Quote|In 149 B.C. the famous strategist Zhuge Liang of Shu, wishing to attack the state of Wei, sent an advance force to scout for the enemy. Leading the army of Wei was Sima Yi who also sent an advance force of fifty thousand troops. The two vanguards met and engaged in battle but the Wei forces were superior and won the day. The defeated shu vanguard raced back to the main body of Zhuge Liang's army whose troops, seeing the look of fear in the faces of their comrades, thought that the enemy was upon them and fled in panic.<br><br>Zhuge Liang and a few bodyguards fled to the city of Yangping with the Wei army in hot pursuit. Vastly outnumbered and unable to either retreat or sustain a siege, Zhuge Liang played a last resort strategy that made him famous throughout China. He removed all the guards and battle flags fromthe walls and had all four of the city gates flung open. When Sima Yi approached the city he could see only a few old men nonchalantly sweeping the grounds within the gates. Zhuge Liang was seen sitting in one of the towers smiling and playing his lute.<br><br>Sima Yi remarked to his advisors, "That man seems to be too happy for my comfort. Doubtless he has some deep laid scheme in mind to bring us all to disaster." As they stood spell bound, the strains of Zhuge Liang's lute reached their ears, and this only heightened their sense of foreboding. Such peculiar behavior was too suspicious. Fearing a clever trap, Sima Yi turned his army back and retreated. After the army left, Zhuge Liang and his remaining troops departed in the opposite direction and made their way safely back to their capital.}}<br />

When weak, appear strong, when strong appear weak. This is a famous strategy of reverse psychology, universally understood by generals from every age and culture. If you appear weak most commanders will assume you are just using an elementary strategy and that your maneuvers are but bait for a trap. This can be use in desperate situations, when the only resource is to do something completely unexpected. Unusual behavior in a time of crises arouses suspicions and doubts. Placing doubt in your enemy's mind means he is already half defeated. However, this strategy requires supreme self control; Those nervous about the chances for failure will, by their actions, give away the bluff.<br />
<br />
If your enemy is superior in numbers and your situation is such that you expect to be overrun in the next battle, then drop all pretense of military preparedness and act casually. Unless the enemy has an accurate description of your situation, this unusual behavior will arouse suspictions. With luck he will be dissuaded from attacking, or at least, he won't be prepared for your reaction.<br />
<br />
As has been said in past strategies, there are few chances to take advantage of the enemy's errors. But when enemy soldiers get over-confident they lose their spirit to fight, don't come to the battlefield at the proper hour and don't follow the orders of their officers. This can reduce many of the efficiency of their numbers. If you have use frecuently strategies to lure your enemy, he'll be afraid of traps even when you don't have the resources or the time to prepare one. Use this strategy wisely and you can lure your enemy to don't fight at full strength when you are too weak to take the next blow.<br />

{{Quote|Towards the end of the Warring States period, as the smaller kingdoms fell prey to the larger, the kingdom of Qin had become the single most powerful state. Qin posed the greatest threat to the other surviving kingdoms which sought to form an alliance to stem Qin's growing power. The various commanders of the empire gathered in the formerly powerful state of Zhou to plan an attack on Qin. King Chao Xiong of Qin was concerned about the gathering of warlords when his minister, Marquis Ying, said, "Allow me to get rid of them. Qin has no quarrel with these 'commanders of the empire'. They gather now to make plans for an attack against Qin simplyu because each seeks wealth and fame for himself. Look at your own hounds - some are sleeping, some are up, some walk abouth and others are simply standing where they are. But throw a bone to them and they will all be on their feet in an instant, snapping at each other. Why? You have given them a reason to fight each other."<br><br>The king understood and asked the minister to continue. Minister Ying called in another official and said, "We must dispatch Tang Chu complete with musicians and five thousand in gold to set up quarters in Wu An. There he will send out a proclamation addressed to all military commanders saying that whoever wishes to defect to Qin will be given a sumptuous banquet and generous gifts of money. But those who conspire against Qin will receive nothing."<br><br>Minister Ying turned to Tang Chu and said, "In order to succeed you must not care where the money goes, but insure that you distribute all of it. Once the money is gone we will send another five thousand taels!"<br><br>A few days after Tang Chu left with the gold, he sent a report saying that he was able to distribute only three thousands pieces of gold before all the commanders of the empire took to fighting amongst themselves too see who would claim the greater reward. Needless to say the were unable to cooperate and no alliance against Qin was formed. For the next thirty years Qin continue to sow discord between the remaining states. Their constant bickering and infighting prevented them from ever uniting against their common enemy. Qin conquered them one by one until none remained.}}<br />

A person's ability to function effectively is dependent on being in harmony with one's environment. By disrupting your enemy's environment, you disrupt his harmony, thus interfering with his ability to attack or defend. You can do this by secretly causing discord between him and his friends, allies, advisors, family, commanders, soldiers and population. While he is preoccupied settling internal disputes, his ability to attack or defend is compromised.<br />
<br />
This strategy needs a thorough preparation and a great knowledge of your enemy. You must find the more vulnerable objectives for this tactic. Du Mu said about this: "Among the official class there are worthy men who have been deprived of office; others who have committed errors and have been punished. There are sycophants and minions who are covetous of wealth. There are those who wrongly remain long in lowly office; those who have not obtained responsible positions, and those whose sole desire is to take advantage of times of trouble to extend the scope of their own abilities. There are those who are two-faced, changeable, and deceitful, and who are always sitting on the fence. With these you can secretly inquire after their welfare, reward them liberally with gold and silk, and so tie them to you. Then you may rely on them to seek out the real facts of the situation in their country, and to ascertain its plans directed between the sovereign and his ministers so that these are not in harmonious accord."<br />

{{Quote|During the last days of the crumbling Han empire, the renowned general Sun Ce was on campaign against a rival province. He had chased the enemy to the walled city of Moling where they were holed up. Sun knew it would be too costly to attack fortified positions, so he attempted to arouse the enemy's anger by parading up and down the city walls hurling insults at the defenders. But the commander of the city, Xue Li, refused to come out to fight despite the taunts.<br><br>One day while Sun was out riding, a soldier on the city wall shot an arrow which hit Sun in the thigh, only slightly penetrating his armor. Sun rode back to camp where he was treated for a flesh wound. However, rumors were spreading that the general had been mortally wounded. The commanders thought he should go out of his tent to reassure the troops, but Sun used the situation to play a stratagem. He let it be known that he was mortally wounded and had his soldiers pretend to prepare for a funeral ceremony.<br><br>Hearing that Sun Ce was dead, Xue Li saw this as his chance and rushed his army out to attack the camp. Sun Ce's troops pretended to retreat leading the attackers into an ambush that closed in from four directions with Sun charging out on his horse to the shouts of "Sun Ce lives!". The shocked city garrison threw down their arms and surrendered while Xue Li and a few loyal guards were slain trying to escape.}}<br />

"To be the first to gain victory, initially display some weakness to the enemy and only afterward do battle. Then your effort will be half, but the achievement doubled". Pretending to be injured or weak has two possible applications. In the first, the enemy is lulled into relaxing his guard since he no longer considers you to be an immediate threat. The second is a way of ingratiating yourself to your enemy by pretending to injury was caused by a mutual enemy. The principle of this strategy is simple, if you are sick or injured, you are less of a threat, and your enemy guard will be lowered before your real strike.<br />
<br />
If you control the press of your country and the internal articles only show disorder and confusion, the guard of your enemy will be relaxed and they will be less effective in attack and defense. If you pretend to have been attacked by a mutual enemy, you won't be recognized as an enemy but as an allied country.<br />

The renowned Yan general Yue Yi had surrounded the city when the news came that the king of Yan had died and prince was still heir apparent, he and general Yue had heard the news he sent secret agents to the new king to spread rumors that Yue Yi was planning to revolt because he feared being executed for past disagreements. When prince Hui heard this rumor he sent another general to replace Yue Yi who fled to another state. The replacement general, Qi Che, was a brash and arrogant up-start who began reissuing orders and procedures which merely succeeded in causing confusion and dissension among the officers.<br><br>Next, Tian Dan had the womenfolk line the city walls and beg for a peaceful surrender while he sent gold and treasure collected from the city's wealthiest citizens to general Qi Che with a note asking that the women and children be spared in return for the peaceful surrender of the city. These events convinced Qi Che that the city was truly about to capitulate, and he allowed his troops to relax their guard. After this careful preparation Tian Dan felt the time was right to lauch his counter attack. First, he had the citizens of the city gather with drums and cooking pots and instructed them that on a signal they were to make as much noise as possible. He then had breaches made along the city walls from the inside. Next, a herd of cattle was painted in bizarre patterns and knives and sickles tied to their horns and torches tied to their tails.<br><br>Just before daylight three events occurred in rapid succession. The citizens within the city struck up a cacophony of noise which startled the sleeping Yan troops. Then the torches on the tails of the cattle were lit and they were released through the breaches in the wall. The enraged animals ran madly about the Yen camp killing stunned troops with their horns and setting fire to tents with their tails. Then Qi's crack troops rushed out from the gates to attack the now terrified and utterly confused troops. Tian Dan defeated the Yan army and went on to conquer more than sevently cities.}}<br />

In important matters one should use several strategies applied simultaneously. Keep different plans operating in an overall scheme. In this manner if any one strategy fails you would still have several others to fall back on. Combining even weak strategies in unison has a greater effectiveness than applying them sequentially.<br />
<br />
To insure victory one must know how to launch simultaneous attacks. Both from left, and from right; from the outside and from within; from above, and from below. Advantage goes to those who can attack on several fronts; disadvantages to those who must defend against more than one.<br />

{{Quote|In 597 B.C. the states of Chu and Jin fought the battle of Bi. For days before the battle the two armies faced each other, unsure whether or not a battle would actually take place. Several small skirmishes were fought to release the energies of the officers, but it appeared that a peace treaty would be negotiated instead. On the Jin side the commander of the left wing, Shi Hui, advised caution saying, "It would be well to take precautions. If Chu has no hostile intent, then we can do away with the precautions and conclude an alliance. But if Chu should come charging down on us, the precautions will prevent our defeat. Even when the Lords come together at a meeting, they take care not to dismiss their personal bodyguards." But the commander of the main body, Xian Gu, disagreed, and only Shi Hui took the precaution of stationing troops in ambush near his positions.<br><br>The next day, during a small skirmish, the Chu forces misunderstood the commotion for an attack by Jin and launched a full scale assault. The Chu chargedforth with such speed and determination that the Jin lines collapsed from the impact. Another Chu division made ready to attack the Jin left wing commanded by Shi Hui. An officer rode up to Shi Hui and asked, "Should we wait for their attack?"<br><br>Shi Hui replied, "The Chu army is now at the peak of its vigor. If they make a concerted attack on us, ur army is bound to be wiped out! Better to gather up our forces and quit the field. Though we will still share the disgrace with the other divisions, we at least spare the lives of our men. Is that not the best that could be had from this situation?"<br><br>Shi Hui had the men stationed in ambush fight a rear guard action, enabling him to retreat with almost his entire division intact. The main Jin troops suffered a resounding defeat with heavy casualties. Commander Xian Gu, who had so thoughtlessly disregarded the advice to take precautions, was found guilty of incompetence and executed."}}<br />

The ancient Daoist sages invented the principle of "non-action" or "following the course of the times." To not take advantage of an opportunity presented is a violation of this principle. Conversely, to fight a battle that cannot be won is an equal violation of heaven's law. In the art of war an often overlooked but vital talent is knowing when to run.<br />
<br />
If it becomes obvious that your current course of action will lead to defeat, then retreat and regroup. When your side is losing, there are only three choices remaining: surrender, compromise, or escape. Surrender is complete defeat, compromise is half defeat, but escape is not defeat. As long as you are not defeated, you still have a chance.<br />
<br />
In Erepublik, you can't totally be defeated. You can pact a rendition, but you must never surrender. If you are going to lose a battle, you can escape and prevent the combat to preserve the wellness and weapons of your soldiers for future fights. If your country is conquered by your enemy, you must not surrender and keep alive the fight using guerrilla warfare and sabotajes. This will maintain your soldiers ready for the fight and weaken the enemy for future fights (or for a future rebellion).</div>Litrohttps://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php?title=Beta:The_Unorthodox_Thirty-Six_Strategies_of_Erepublik/Deception_Strategies&diff=136885Beta:The Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik/Deception Strategies2009-05-09T18:26:53Z<p>Litro: moved the Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik/Deception Strategies to The Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik/Deception Strategies</p>

When reports of this rumor reached the king he relieved the current commander and replaced him with Zhao Kuo. What the king of Zhao didn't know was that years earlier when the famous general Zhao She was still alive he had tested his son on the art of war and found him wanting. While the son proved knowledgeable in all aspects of war his father still disapproved. When asked why, he told his wife, "To fight war entails fatal danger, but Zhao Kuo passed it off as something easy in his talk. It would be better if our king did not appoint him as commander. If he does, he will surely be the one to lead our troops to doom."<br><br>When Zhao Kuo took over command he set about restructuring the army, reissuing orders and rules, and dismissing many senior officers.

Disrupt the enemy's formations, interfer with their methods of operations, change the rules in which they are used to following, go contrary to their standard training. In this way you remove the supporting pillar, the common link which makes a group of men an effective fighting force. Commanding a large body of men is like dealing with an unthinking beast: its actions are not determined so much by what is logical as by circumstance of terrain and habit. An army that is invincible in a certain formation can be useless if that formation is broken. By changing the rules and habits under which the enemy is used to fight, you take away his physical and moral foundation.<br />
<br />
If you achieve to change the leader of the enemy army in the middle of a war (through deception, lies, rumors or brides) you'll be able to disrupt their forces and attack tactics. If you spread rumors that you have intercept the enemy communications and their messages about the war, they will be forced to change the medium in the middle of the war. The military leader of the enemy army is a good objective to attack to mess up their troops.<br />

If my lord pulls me out from my village and places me above the high officials, the officers and troops will not be submissive and the people will not believe in me. Since I am insignificant and my authority light, I would like to have one of my lord's favored ministers, someone whom the state respects, as supervisor of the army. Then it will be possible." Duke Jing consented and appointed Zhuang Jia as supervisor. Sima met with Zhuang Jia and they agreed that they would begin the march at midday the next day. Sima went on ahead to the army camp where he gave orders to prepare for the next day's departure. He also ordenred his guards to place a water clock in the parade grounds.<br><br>The next day Zhuang, who had always been arrogant and aristocratic, assumed that since Sima was already at the army camp and preparations were under way, it was not urgent for him to be there. His friends and relatives from all around gathered to detain him with drinks and entertainment. By midday Zhuang had still not arrived so Sima gave orders for the army to depart. By evening Zhuang had finally caught up with the army.

A rule of leadership states to always reward in public but to criticize in private to maintain the morale high. However, there are times when others need to see the possible consequences of their behavior by making an example of someone. In that cases you must be impassive and make a public example of your commanding powers. To have respect and assure the obedience of your soldiers, they must know not only the rewards, but also the punishment, and they must take them seriously.<br />
<br />
One way to do that when you are new in the leadership is to follow strictly the rules of the army, and wait until someone breaks a rule. If you can't wait until that happens, you can always fake a success. That time, you must punish the offender without mercy to show the rest of the soldiers that they must follow the orders and rules or they will be punished. But be cautious, because in a game like this, soldiers can leave the army when they want and you'll lose their strenght and the leadership.<br />
<br />
This can be useful if you can't get their respect as a leader by your actions. If soldiers doesn't respect your capabilities they can fear punishments (like dishonor expulsion from the army). With this you can guarantee that they will follow your orders in battle.<br />

{{Quote|Just before his death, the founder of the Ming dynasty, Hongwu, bequeathed that the throne be passed over his sons to his grandson Huidi. Only sixteen when he was appointed emperor, Huidi was counseled by treacherous advisors to eliminate the other branches of the family. One by one the young emperor's uncles were summoned to court to answer to charges of corruption. Always found guilty, they were stripped of their rank, reduced to the status of commoner, and exiled to a remote district.<br><br>A year later five of the princes had been eliminated, leaving only one uncle that still retained position in the government: the prince of Yan. The prince was alone and isolated, waiting for the inevitable summons to court which he could not refuse since his own sons were held as hostages in the capital. To give himself time to plan a way of saving himself, he feigned madness. He ran through the streets of Beijing screaming and yelling, stealing food and wine, and sleeping in gutters. For days he sank into deep depressions and would see no one. In warm weather he sat by the stove, shivering and complaining of the cold. But it was all a smoke screen meant to deceive the emperor.<br><br>When the emperor heard these reports he said, "Alas, my poor uncle has gone truly insane. Let us release his sons to him in the hope that they may bring him back to reason." This was the young emperor's fatal mistake. With his sons safe, the prince of Yan was free to openly challenge the emperor's authority.

An ancient text says, "''When an eagle is about to attack, it will fly low and draw in its wings. When a fierce cat is about to strike, it will fold back its ears and crouch low. When the sage is about to move, he will certainly display a stupid countenance''".<br />
<br />
It is well known that the strongest contender in any sphere of activity automatically fears, and therefore becomes an enemy to the second strongest. To hide your strength, feign madness since without the power of rational thought, all other powers are useless. When you cease being a threat, hostile attentions will be focused on the next most powerful. This buys you time to scheme for victory.<br />
<br />
This strategy has many uses. You can hide behind the mask of a fool, a drunk, or a possible traitor to create confusion about your intentions and motivations. Lure your opponent into underestimating your ability until, overconfident, he drops his guard. Then you may attack to they weak points.<br />
<br />
You can also use this strategy to hide the true power and organization of your country. It's always difficult, because new players usually write articles criticizing the internal organization of the army and recommending changes (you must be cautious, because some of them can be spies). Feign a disorganized military structure and poor leadership, and your neighbors will be calm and relaxed until you attack them by surprise.<br />

Every type of terrain can provide both an advantage for one form of warfare while a hindrance for another. With baits and deceptions, lure your enemy into treacherous terrain. Then cut off his lines of communication and avenue of escape. To save himself he must fight both your own forces and the elements of nature.<br />
<br />
Each army has his own advantages and disadvantages. First you must know the important advantages of your group and then lure your enemy to provide you with the best scenario.<br />
<br />
Some armies have an important number of coordinated soldiers to attack at the last minute, so you must mislead your enemy to cut down the number of troops in the state you want to attack. Other armies have some really strong heroes who can destroy the enemy forces using some gold, so it's important to deceive the enemy to accumulate troops in a zone for some time, before you can send these characters to lower their wellness and weapons stocks. Others have soldiers full of supplies and rich enough to expend some gold in wellness packs during a full assault, this can be a good way to weaken your enemies troops with a direct combat between both. Always choose the battle scenario that benefit you.<br />

When the barbarians see our fires increasing each day they will certainly interpret it as evidence that reinforcements from the garrison are joining us. Believing that our numbers are many while our speed is quick, they will hesitate to pursue us. Sun Bin manifested weakness, but I now display strength because our relative strategic power is different. With our troops at their rear, they will hesitate to invaded any further."<br><br>The Qiang became ever more wary of engaging in battle and finally decided to disperse and return to their homelands.

While it is important to learn of your enemy's plans, it is equally important to conceal your own. Through the use of props, facades, and camouflage, you keep the enemy in doubt of your strengths and weaknesses. Use artifice and disguise to make something of no value appear valuable; of no threat appear dangerous; of no use, useful.<br />
<br />
Information is vital in warfare, but more important can be to hide your own information from the enemy. Things like number of troops, squads, number of resources in the market, help from foreign countries and pacts and the most important, how well (or bad) organized is your army. You must conceal all this information to make more difficult to plan an attack or a defense, and whenever is possible deceive the enemy about your true forces. If you are weak, pretend to be stronger to force peace or a treaty; if you are strong, pretend to be weaker to give your enemy hopes and keep him unready for your final blow.<br />

I beg you allow me to take command of the troops for you and keep the king under guard!"<br><br>The prime minister, believing that Wei Po was on his side, handed over the seals and put him in charge of the troops. But as soon as he had taken command, Wei Po had the troops surround the prime minister's offices instead.<br><br>"Alas!" said the prime minister. "The Daoists have a saying: 'Strike when the hour comes, or suffer the ruin that follows.' This, then is wat they meant!" The prime minister then committed suicide.

The strategist of the old have a saying: "I dare not play the host, but play the guest; I dare not advance an inch, but retreat a foot instead." When you are weak but your enemy is strong there is no chance for victory in a direct contest. Instead, by assuming a subordinate position, you may have the chance of undermining and subverting your enemy's power.<br />
<br />
Defeat the enemy from within by infiltrating the enemy's force under the guise of cooperation, surrender or peace treaties. In this way you can discover his weakness and then when the enemy's guard is relaxed, strike directly at the source of his strength (internal unity, alliances, economy, or whatever makes your enemy strongest than you).</div>Litrohttps://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php?title=Beta:The_Unorthodox_Thirty-Six_Strategies_of_Erepublik/Confusion_Strategies&diff=136883Beta:The Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik/Confusion Strategies2009-05-09T18:26:52Z<p>Litro: moved the Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik/Confusion Strategies to The Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik/Confusion Strategies</p>

{{Quote|During the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the Three Kingdoms period, the warlord Cao Cao received the visit of one of the imperial generals, Xu Yu, who inquired about their current situation. Cao Cao replied, "We have only one month of supplies left while General Yuan has a year's worth of provisions stored within easy access at his garrison at Wu Chao. As it stands now we will be defeated within a month".<br><br>General Yu thereupon devised the following stratagem. He ordered a division of his elite cavalry to dress as Yuan troops and to muffle their horses hooves by wrapping them in cloth. Thre disguised cavalry set out the next night carrying Yuan banners. Whenever they encountered a real Yuan patrol or checkpoint, the captain would tell them they were safeguarding Yuan's rear against a possible sneak attack. Silently arriving at the garrison by dawn, the elite cavalry took the Yuan troops by surprise and succeeded in setting fire to the stores.When the report made its way through the Yuan army that their provisions had been destroyed, they quickly surmised that they were now the ones at risk of starvation. The Yuan troops lost their will to fight and three days later General Yuan Shao was defeated and killed.}}<br />

When faced with an enemy too powerful to engage directly you must first weaken him by undermining his foundation and attacking his source of power. The source of an opponent's strength lies in either wealth, resources or manpower. If in wealth, cause him to incur in expenses, if in resources, disrupt the lines of distribution, if in manpower, sow discord.<br />
<br />
When you are preparing a war, you can study where is the strength of the enemy and attack that point with unusual strategies.<br />
<br />
To attack the wealth, you can attack their monetary market to force their money to lose value. A sharp govern will settle this issue in few time, but the population and the companies will suffer and weaken their economy (reducing the number of resource they'll be able to buy for the war).<br />
<br />
To attack the resources, you can launch some agents, buy or create companies and force an important drop in the prices, when the prices are really low and the war is going to begin you can buy all the stock from other companies and retire your own from the market (you can even sell your own stock in your country). This'll lower the number of items in the market and the global defense.<br />
<br />
If you must reduce the manpower, you only have to increase the interal fights and disputes. An ancient proverb says: "A lie told by one, becomes truth when told by hundreds", use the media wisely to create internal discord in the files of your enemy.<br />

{{Quote|In the Spring and Autumn period the armies of Jin and Chu faced each other at Chengbu. Chu sent an envoy to Jin requesting to fight a chariot duel the next day to which the Jin ruler, Duke Wen, agreed. In the morning Duke Wen climbed to the top of an observation tower and looking down on his camp's preparations said, "Young and old conduct themselves according to ritual. They are fit for use!". He then ordered his troops to cut down trees to be used as part of an unorthodox tactic.<br><br>While the chariot duel was underway Duke Wen launched a sudden cavalry attack against the Chu right wing causing it to collapse in. At the same time as the right was being pushed into the main body, the Jin troops in the center raised the retreat pennants and began pulling back. As the Jin troops retreated they dragged behind them the trees they had cut down earlier that morning. This raised such a dust cloud that the Chu commanders thought the Jin were fleeing in panic and eagerly gave chase. When the main body of the Chu army was enveloped in the cloud of dust they were unable to see that the Jin forces had split into two divisions and had turned around. The Jin attacked in a classical pincer movement on both of the Chu flanks.<br><br>The result was a resounding defeat after which the Chu general was ordered to commit suicide. Duke Wen had taken advantage of the distraction provided by the charitot duel to launch both a surprise attack and a fake retreat, manipulation the Chu forces into a trap.}}<br />

<br />
Before engaging your enemy's forces create confusion to weaken his perception and judgment. Do something unusual, strange, and unexpected as this will arouse the enemy's suspicion and disrupt his thinking. A distracted enemy is thus more vulnerable. Magicians, card sharks, pick pockets and prize fighters rely on this trait to momentarily trap the person's attention elsewhere while they secretly carry out another action.<br />
<br />
In the middle of a war, create commotion and discussions in the enemy's media, to distract them. Comment or PM trolls will distract the enemy's attention and you'll be able to take other actions (like international conversations with other countries or empty their market) lowering the possibilities to be uncovered.<br />
<br />
You can also distract the attention of the enemy leaders while you prepare the war. Create flood in their media or inbox to increase their work, and lower their performance. You can also use online chats for this.<br />

{{Quote|During one of the northerm expeditions of Zhuge Liang during the Three Kindgomds period, the Prime Minister of the Shu Empire, Zhuge Liang, had the upper hand in front of Sima Yi. Sima Yi use a traitor to spread rumours in the capital about Zhuge Liang. The emperor of Shu afraid of the rumours recall him to the capital, and take away his military powers so that he cannot rebel.<br><br>The edict arrived to Zhuge Liang in Qishan. "The Emperor is young, and there is some jealous persons by his side," said Zhuge Liang sadly. "I was just going to achieve some solid success. Why am I recalled? If I go not, I shall insult my Prince. If I retire, I shall never get such a chance again.""If the army retire, Sima Yi will attack", said Jian Wei."I will retire in five divisions. Thus today this camp goes. Supposing that there are a thousand soldiers in the camp, then I shall have two thousand cooking places prepared, or if there are three thousand soldiers, then four thousand cooking plates shall be got ready, and so on, increasing the cooking arrangements as the troops are sent away."<br><br>Yan Yi said, "In the days of old, when Sun Bin was attacking Pang Juan, Sun Bin decreased the cooking arrangements as the soldiers were increased. Why do you reverse this, o Prime Minister?"<br><br>"Because Sima Yi is an able leader and would pursue if he knew we were retreating. But he would recognize the probability of an ambush; and if he sees an increase in the cooking arrangements in a cmp, he will be unable to conclude whether the troops have gone or not, and he will not pursue. Thus I shall gradually withdraw without loss." The order for retreat was given, and when the Wei scouts told Sima Yi that the enemy's camps were empty, he rode out himself to inspect the camps. Sima Yi count the stoves. Next day he paid a second visit to another empty camp, and again the cooking stoves were counted. The count showed an increase of a half.<br><br>"I felt sure that Zhuge Liang would have more troops ready. He has increased the cooking arrangements, and so, if we pursue, he will be ready for us. No! We also will retire and await another opportunity."<br><br>So there was no pursuit, and Zhuge Liang did not lose a soldier on his retreat to Hanzhong.}}<br />

It's a well known rule of war that troops are extremely vulnerable when retreating. When you are in danger of being defeat and your only chance is to escape and regroup, then create an illusion to divert or slow potential pursuers. While the enemy's attention is focused on this artifice, secretly remove your men leaving behind only the facade of your presence. Retreat in Erepublik is very different to real life, troops aren't so vulnerable while retreating. In the game there are only two situations were a cautious retreat may be needed.<br />
<br />
In battle there are times when you need to retreat your troops from a battle zone without let the enemy know about that. It can be a withdrawal from a battle to preserve the wellness of the soldiers and their weapons, or a withdrawal of citizens in a state under attack to safer states. You can always create a distraction to hide the withdrawal for some time to the enemy if it can help your plans.<br />
<br />
In war, friendly troops, mercenaries or international soldiers may receive orders to withdrawal from the battle and leave the country. This can be very problematic for the local troops, and can increase the moral of the enemy. This can be the best time for an enemy attack, so attrack their attention to other matters may be the difference between a victory and a defeat. Use the press, menaces from other countries, whatever you can to confuse the enemy and hide the retreat of your allies.<br />

{{Quote|During the Warring States period the state of Wu had invaded the state of Yue and carried off its duke, Guo Jian, holding him prisoner for three years before releasing him back to his kingdom. When he returned, Guo Jian planned his revenge. For seven years he ruled with benevolence and generosity, making a reputation as a wise and virtuous ruler until he felt his loyal subjects were prepared to undergo any hardship for him. He accordingly assembled his forces and attacked Wu, gaining a decisive victory.<br><br>The king of Wu had to flee, but it would only be a matter of time before he was caught he sent ambassadors to Guo Jian begging for mercy. They reminded him of how the state of Wu had released him to return to his own state. The king of Wu now asked to be granted the same favor.<br><br>Guo Jian was contemplating granting this appeal when his prime minister Fan Li intervened and said, "When heaven gave the duke of Wu the grand opportunity for gaining power, he did not take advantage of it, and so he is a fugitive today. Should you fail to accept what fortune has now give you, you may be driven from your state, and then all the years of hardships you have borne will have been endured in vain". The duke was swayed by the argument and sent the ambassador back with the message that he would not grant any mercy. When the king of Wu received the message he gave up all hope and committed suicide.}}<br />

<br />
If you have the chance to completely capture the enemy, then you should do so, thereby bringing the battle or war to a quick and lasting conclusion. While it's dangerous to corner your opponent into fighting to the death, it's equally dangerous to allow that opponent to escape with a hope of revenge. When you have your enemy cornered, leave a door open until his thoughts turn to escape and freedom, then close the trap and destroy him.<br />
<br />
When you are invading an enemy country, you must always let an exit for your enemies, but if you can end the war with a single decisive strike your best option is to defeat your enemy and talk later. After all their expectancies have been lost and their morale is low, it's the moment to strike before they can prepare themselves for a final battle to the death.<br />
<br />
Sometimes is better to obtain the new conquered territories but expel their citizens to avoid a future "independence war". This is common when your country has many citizens and your enemy are few in number. For this, you must destroy all their hopes to play in your country. Tell them, they'll be unable to find workers for their companies, they will not win any local election, and you are going to use your local language to difficult their integration. They'll leave your country and go to others, some of them will maintain their hopes to recover the country in the future, but other will begin to play in their new destiny and forget about the revenge.<br />

Vastly outnumbered, the king of Zheng could not hope to win militarily, the prime minister said, "The state is in imminent peril. If you summon your old adviser, Chu Zhiwu, and send him to Qin, I'm sure he can convince them to depart."<br><br>The king agreed and summoned the old advisor to explain his mission. That night Chu was lowered from the walls on a rope and he secretly made his way into the Qin camp. Meeting with the earl of Qin he said, "With Jin and Qin both besieging its capital, Zheng knows that it must perish. If the ruin of Zheng were to be of benefit to you I would not dare to speak to you. But you know what difficulties could arise in trying to maintain such a distant border from your capital. It would be constantly threatened by other states. Of what advantage is it to you to destroy Zheng to benefit your neighbor? His advantage will be your disadvantage. And moreover, previously you helped the duke of Jin to attain his position and he promised you two cities as a reward. But as soon as he was in his own state again he built defenses around the two cities. Surely you can see that he is greedy. If you help him to annex Zheng to his domains, who will be next to lose territory to his insatiable hunger? Furthermore, if you agree to depart, the king of Zheng will give you provisions for your army and gifts for yourself. Surely this is no injury. But I leave it up to you to decide whether to diminish Zhen in order to advantage Jin."<br><br>The next morning the Qin army left the field. When the duke of Jin saw them returning he also withdrew and Zheng was spared.}}<br />

It's well known that a friend of your enemy becomes your enemy while an enemy of your enemy becomes your friend, but it's also true that nations that border each other become enemies while nations separated by distance and obstacles make better allies. When you are the strongest in one field, your greatest threat is from the second strongest in your field, not the strongest from another field. Every powerful person, organization, or state will automatically create people, groups and organizations that stand in opposition to it. To attack any objective, one can enlist the aid of those institutions that are the antithesis of your opponent's.<br />

== Borrow the Road to Conquer Guo ==<br />

{{Quote|During the Spring and Autumn period, the small states of Yu and Guo bordered the larger state of Jin. Duke Xian of Jin desired to conquer both states. This desire was not unknown to the two smaller states and both had taken steps to defend their borders with Jin. The duke's general, Xin Xi, suggested they make a roundabout attack at Guo through the state of Yu to catch them by surprise. General Xun suggested that since the duke of Yu was a greedy man he could be brided with gifts of jade and horses in exchange for safe passage through his territory. Duke Xian objected to the idea of giving away so much treasure and asked, "What if the duke of Yu accepts our gifts but refuses us passage?" General Xun replied, "If he doesn't intend to let us through, then he wouldn't accept them, but if he does accept the gifts, and he does let us through, then it will only mean that the treasure is stored temporarily in his storehouse rather than ours."<br><br>When the bride was sent to the duke of Yu one of his ministers, Gong Ziqi, cautioned against accepting them saying, "Yu is to Guo, like lips are to teeth. Our ancestors had a saying: 'If the lips are gone, the teeth will be exposed to cold.' Guo's existence depends on Yu, while Yu's ability to survive hinges on Guo. If we make way for Jin, then the day will see Guo perish in the morning only to be follower by Yu in the evening. Why should we ever let Jin pass?"<br><br>The duke of Yu, however, redused to listen to this advice. Jin was given safe passage and succeeded in conquering Guo. On their way back they stopped to conquered Yu. After taking the Yu capital and recovering the treasure, General Xun returned the jade and horses to the duke. Duke Xian was pleased and said in good humor, "The jade is untouched but the horses seem to have gained some more teeth!".}}<br />

In the struggle for power, alliances are formed only if both parties believe they can profit from each other. These alliances last until one party no longer finds profit in the other. The aid you lend an ally might as easily be used against you. It depends whether your ally should fin it more profitable to return the favor, or become your enemy. If you borrow the resources of an ally to attack a common enemy, you'll be able to use those resources to attack your ally when your enemy is defeated.<br />
<br />
The difference with the strategy "Killing with a Borrowed Sword" is that you use another's sword to attack, but do the dirty work yourself, and finally, you attack the person from whom you borrowed the sword.<br />
<br />
This can be achieve easily if you convince an ally to lend you their troops. You can let their troops fight, while you reserve your stronger soldiers and best weapons. When that war has ended, you'll be able to attack again your own ally and conquer both countries. This can be easy, when your country is under attack. You can use the MPP to defend yourself, and when the war has ended attack your own allies when they are still weak.</div>Litrohttps://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php?title=Beta:The_Unorthodox_Thirty-Six_Strategies_of_Erepublik&diff=136879Beta:The Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik2009-05-09T18:26:51Z<p>Litro: moved the Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik to The Unorthodox Thirty-Six Strategies of Erepublik</p>

{{Quote|General Li Mu was given the command responsible for defending Yanmen (Nomadic horsemen that occupied the central Asian steppes) against the Xiongnu who were constantly raiding the territories. When Li Mu first arrived, all his officials recommended to launch attacks against the local tribes. Instead he focused his efforts on training and nurturing the border troops, ensuring they were well fed and paid. He further ordered that, should the Xiongnu attack, all troops were to retreat into one of the fortified towns that were scattered throughout the countryside and merely defend. Under no circumstances were they to engage the enemy.<br><br>For several years, anytime a Xiongnu raiding party entered the territory they found the people and soldiers already holed up behind defensive walls with precious little left in the countryside to plunder. Eventually the Xiongnu and even Li Mu's own soldiers thought that, though he was a virtuous commander, he was also a coward. The border troops, after years of training without engaging in battle, became restless for combat. When Li Mu saw the eagerness for battle amongst his troops he decide to act. First he sent his best troops to set up an ambush several days march away. Then he had herds of cattle and their drivers released to graze in the fields with only a few soldiers to watch over them. When a Xiongnu raiding party happened upon the cattle they attacked and sent the soldiers fleeing. The raiding party sent word back to their Khan that the Chinese had abandoned the country leaving herds of cattle and lightly defended villages behind. The Khan raised a tremendous host to invade the Chinese territory. Expecting no resistance from the 'cowardly' Li Mu, they were easily led into the ambush. More than a hundred thousand Xiongnu horsemen were killed. For ten years thereafter, not a single raiding party dared to cross the border.}}<br />

<br />
With a strong control of media and the actions of soldiers, the military leader can deceive their enemy to lax their guard. A full control of your troops is needed to successfully use this strategy, because you must appear to be a fool unprepared for war.<br />
<br />
Your main troops must remain inactive, keeping your wellness high and their better weapons, while they train everyday. The media can't talk about the war during this period of time, and foreign and friendly soldiers must be welcome and encouraged to fight everyday. The military leader can disappear for some days (don't train, work or write comments/articles), and some newspapers write about it, criticizing the military leadership and the govern. You can even give up a minor state to seem more weak. Another way you can use this strategy is to spread misinformation about the planned date for a invasion (even start the war declaration many times without being approved). Repeating this many times, your enemies will grew used to the false information.<br />
<br />
After some days or weeks, when both sides are exhausted and without weapons, the foreign troops can announce their withdrawal after a defensive battle. During the next day, the enemy will need to defend their own battlefronts with unprepared and unsuspecting troops. The perfect moment to attack with your fresh soldiers, and demoralize the enemy. During the next days, your troops will have the upper hand, with their military leader at the vanguard and using their best tactics.<br />

However he was interrupted by the laughter coming from one of the nobles named Kong Zichu.<br><br>“May I ask the source of your amusement?” asked the duke.<br><br>“I was laughing at a man in my neighborhood and some gossip I heard” replied Kong. “It seems one day he was walking home with his wife when he spotted a lovely maiden gathering mulberry leaves by the roadside. No sooner did he escape his wife to go flirt with the girl when, upon turning around, he saw another man making love to his wife. I was just thinking about the story and I couldn't help but laugh.”<br><br>Seeing the moral of this story Duke Wen canceled his invasion plans and recalled his army from its march. No sooner had the Qin army returned when they were sent out to stop an invasion on their own northern border by an unexpected enemy.}}<br />
<br />
<br />
During the incessant wars between the various kingdoms of the Warring States Period, any kingdom that attacked another was in danger of being attacked by a third country from the rear. This strategy was used to maintain a certain degree of military status quo. If any one kingdom attacked another, the rest would sit back and watch the outcome. But if it looked as though one kingdom was going to become too powerful, then the other kingdoms would unite to cut the ambitious state back down to size.<br />
<br />
The same game can be player in Erepublik. When a country attacks another, it's the best time to launch a surprise attack against one of them. Both of the countries will become weaker day after day, but after the war, it can be too late to take action.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, to confront a strong opponent in a head to head contest of strength is the most costly and least favorable method of war. Instead, while the enemy is preoccupied with other objectives you must attack something of value that he has left behind unguarded. In this case, if you want to help a friend country against a common neighbor, your best strategy is to wait until your enemy is weakened and then launch a surprise attack. Your common enemy will be demoralized and weak, and you'll be able to achieve a total victory.<br />

To succeed in any endeavor one must be frugal in expending one's resources. Where possible, use trickery and deception to appropriate the strength of others while conserving your own. Trick an ally into attacking him, bride an official to turn traitor, or use the enemy's own strength against him.<br />
<br />
Attack your enemy before starting the war. Find out who are the most capable military advisers of your enemy, and spread rumors among their enemies and rivals to difficult their defense. If you achieve to provoke a war between your objective and another country, you'll be capable to attack when they are weakened and conquer both countries. Use the power of others to achieve your goals, and hit when best serves your purposes.<br />

While there are circumstances when it's necessary for an army to hurry to the battlefield in order to command the advantage of terrain, or weather, it's more often a mistake to rush to battle without a definite advantage for doing so. You must always choose the time and place for battle for your own advantage. In this way, you know when and where the battle will take place, while your enemy does not.<br />
<br />
Encourage your enemy to expend his energy and weapons attacking your battle-zones, without attack theirs until you really want. When he is exhausted and confused, you'll be ready to attack with energy and purpose, and use the surprise and your superiority to beat him. Your enemy will taunt and provoke you using the press, but keep your troops in order, and fight only when you want to do so.<br />

{{Quote|During the Warring States period, Qi and Han were allies when Zhang Yi, attacked Han. They asked Qi for assistance. The king of Qi said, “Han is our ally and since Qin has attacked them, we must go to their rescue”. But his minister Su Tianchen disagreed saying, “Your majesty's planning is faulty. You should merely agree to assist Han but take no action there. However, in the kingdom of Yan, their king has recently resigned the throne to his despised prime minister. This has enraged both the noble and the common people, causing turmoil at court. Now, if Qin attacks Han, Chu and Zhao will surely come to their aid, and this will be as good as heaven bestowing Yan upon us.”<br><br>The king approved and promised the Han envoy assistance before sending him back to Han believing he had Qi's backing. When Qin attacked Han, Chu and Zhao intervened as expected. While all the major kingdoms were thrus engaged in the battle for Han, Qi stealthily attacked Yan. Within thirty days Yan was captured.}}<br />

Through the time, the death of every civilization is brought on by three events: starvation, disease and war. A culture suffering from any two becomes the target for the third. When a country is beset by internal conflicts, when their market is empty of vital products (food, gifts, weapons), when corruption and political division are rampant, then it's the best time to attack.<br />
<br />
Wait until your enemy is weak before beat him to death. With internal division they won't be capable to form a common and organized defense, and their soldiers will be demoralized. With an empty market, they'll depend of imports or international travels, and this will increase the prices and the war cost. You can achieve this situations with the other strategies.<br />
<br />
Internal disorder can be achieved with spies and local agents, but also with citizens seized when their countries where invaded by your enemy. The local rebels can be devote allies.<br />

{{Quote|In the year 200 A.D. Yuan Shao was fighting against Cao Cao at the battle of Guan Du. The numerically superior forces of Yuan Shao sent a division to attack the small city of Baima situated to the rear of Cao Cao's army. Yuan Shao hoped this maneuver would cut off his enemy's communications, supply lines and avenue of escape.<br><br>When reports came in that Baima was under siege, Cao Cao called together his advisors to plan a way out of their precarious situation. They could not go directly to Baima since they would be vastly outnumbered and surprised by their rear, yet they could not allow Yuan Shao to occupy such a strategic position.<br><br>Then one advisor suggested a feint against Yuan Shao's old stronghold at the city of Ye. Cao Cao led personally an army towards Ye. When Yuan Shao heard that Cao Cao had crossed the river and was heading towards Ye, he and half of his forces went with the intention of trapping Cao Cao between Ye and his reinforcements.<br><br>Meanwhile, Cao Cao had reversed directions in the middle of the night and, through a forced march arrived at Baima before dawn. There Yuan Shao's remaining troops were completely taken by surprise and annihilated.}}<br />

In any fight the element of surprise can provide an overwhelming advantage. Even when face to face with an enemy, surprise can still be employed by attacking where he least expects it. To do this, you must create an expectation in the enemy's mind through the use of a feint. Fill a battlefield with your troops or attack that zone constantly, while the others are empty (or doesn't receive attacks). When the right moment arrives, strike with full force against your true objective.<br />
<br />
This can be used as an efficient battle strategy. The enemy will expect your final attack in a battlefield, but you'll strike into another, surprising their forces and reducing their defensive response.<br />
