Attack Holland?

wouldn't be so bad imo. They got no MPP's, are involved in a war with both eUK and Poland, and wouldn't mind some action.

Yea, great idea :p What do you guys think? :p

I think it is now the moment to engage ! They are all moving to their High Resource region, so all the other regions are now empty! If there is ever good moment to attack, then is that now! (I am very serious now!)

yes yes yes fight! fight! fight!

Lol
I dont think Phoenix will appreciate it :p

Maybe we can ask if we can control Western Ntherlands untill they are safe from Poland :p

maby we can't attack as UK is in the way? :p

and PHX is getting kicked by EDEN atm :p

And if they don't want to give their region, we will conquer it and keep it for ever ?

True, so lets attack the UK, capture London and then go for Western Netherlands

when i'm serious and boring i would say : no Phoenix will kill us

but when i'm serious and naive i would say : let's make netherlands very angry to let them make war ( 200 G) then we attack (them 50 G) we also ask EDEN for help

Could someone describe the situation in the Netherlands, expectations for the future and our possibilities to kick some ass please?

Can someone please explain what/who Eden and Phoenix are?
Who are our alliances and who not.
What's the value in attacking and is it worth the risk?

Long story short: These are the two major alliances in eRepublik. eBelgium is neutral, with many of our citizens favoring one or the other of the alliances, but no real consensus. Our nearest neighbors are members of Phoenix, and our current MPP is with a Phoenix member; however, Phoenix has been losing a lot of battles and a lot of territory, and the balance of power appears to be shifting toward EDEN/Brolliance.

I'll explain more about this later

YES!!!!

Push the button thomas!! push it.

And they called me crazy...

shadowukcs wrote:I'll explain more about this later

I think Shadow knows best about the alliances

Actually Eden and Brolliance are seperated alliances
Only they keep a rule that they dont attack each other, Poland (Eden) is renting some high grain regions from the USA (Brolliance) currently

that was in times when phoenix was strong

Come on, if you MPP with Poland, I'm sure they will help you get a region of the Netherlands

Too bad eUK beat us to it, otherwise we could have seriously proposed the eDutch to temporarily take over their Eastern regions (we are not in a war with ePoland, so they would have to pay for the Declaration of War to attack us).

UK = weak atm it has only 1500 pop. and if we have MPP with someone of EDEN it's almost piece of cake
the only thing i don't know is how many MPP's does eUK have

you do know that the UK doesnt care about any of their regions except Fortress London?
USA tried and failed
Canada tried and failed
Ireland tried and succeeded (but Ireland stopped after conquering NI, wich was their goal :p)
So many countries tried and failed, I am wondering where Canada will end up this time

I've thought about that too
unfortunatly, THAT would have made us a real PHX supporter in the eyes of EDEN. But it would have been nice to have belgium expanding for once (we have never ever conquered somebody's else territory, right?

DO ET!

Couldn't we wait until after the re-unification?

We could have sold it as "helping a neighbour and a historical friend". All hypothetical, ofcourse, we can do little at this point...

Shadow, get the f*** over those articles.

One, eAustralia doesn't give a f*** about me so they will do nothing.

Two, people spamming the media are just bored and are trying to get a reaction from me. So far they are getting nothing and are trying to post more to get my attention. One thing I know for sure is they will never get it.

You will get my vote !

Well time to mobilise our army buy weopons and do some marching.
A Mpp Pakistan I am sure they will love to help us. Or even Poland or any country willing to help us.

I dont think an MPP with Pakistan is a good idea
They are now almost at their max, almost conquered all of India
It seems that MPPs arent activated in RW

Ik wil onze noorderburen wel eens een lesje leren

I want to teach our neighbours north of us a lesson

In a way we will eended restore the "union" under our glorious flag

Chill man, I'm only joking.



(tho those are p funny articles)

The Netherlands is laughing with us, they think we can't conquer them
But we can ! like Obama would say : " YES WE CAN "

But when do turn these thoughts into action?

conquering holland atm with the right allies etc is easy

keeping holland is difficult: one well timed RW and we've lost it.

surviving PHX's reply will be even more difficult: either through invasion or PTO, they will get us if they want to

Even the big boys mess up on this.

well, question turned irrelevant, UK's invading the rest of Holland! :O

Gj. Our President was a major player in getting the eNL wiped. That counts for something; we should put it in our history books. We'll celebrate this day as "The Day eBelgium Wiped Holland Off the Map (sort of)".

That is a stupid decision even if being wiped of the map is temporary they will no longer have a congress which mean free citizenship which mean they will be PTOed to death when they reapear.

What do you think of: "The Day ThomasRed forsaw an invasion of Poland wich would cause the Netherlands to get conquered by the UK"

Also, what is the point of being taken over? The Netherlands dont have that many people, Poland simply can declare war on The Netherlands cause the Netherlands is small with low population, how much would it cost? A few hundred gold? Poland is large with a lot of high regions, they need a couple days to get the gold and they can continue, also, how much gold is the UK wasting by conquering The Netherlands and creating blocking battles in the meanwhile?

The Netherlands will get PTOd, we better ask the UK if Belgium cant safekeep The Netherlands untill Poland is gone and back to its original territory, so they dont have any reason to PTO The Netherlands

EDIT: I've investigated the wars in The Netherlands, and the Netherlands will be a couple of hours of the map if everything goes as planned, unless Eden troops go fight for The Netherlands

your congress is deleted only if there have been congress elections during the time your country did not exist. They already have a RW started up in east NL so that holland will only be off for about a couple of houres, which means that:
- all their currency will have been moved to UK (can be regained)
- their parties will be gone (biggest cost: 40 gold to start a party, on the other hand, they quite had some parties though)
- their congressmen will be partyless, but remain in congress with full powers, just like their president
- all regions controlled by the UK can ask for UK licenses for only 5 gold instead of 20, which is a good thing for every kind of company but grain (99% import tax on grain in UK)
- we can laugh at them since this is (according to me) the first time NL gets wiped off the map ^^

Sammy Tanghe wrote:- all their currency will have been moved to UK (can be regained)

Wasn't much; most was donated to DNB (their national bank) already.

Sammy Tanghe wrote:- their parties will be gone (biggest cost: 40 gold to start a party, on the other hand, they quite had some parties though)

LOL! Number of parties isn't that relevant, most were inactive and couldn't even be joined anymore because member count was 0. Only 6 parties were active.
However, that parties did include quite some money. Guess LSD and I&W had around 200 GOLD... each! And as you can't transfer that to another account, I suspect that's gone...

w00t! Thanks for the heads-up!

/me grabs 15 GOLD and runs to his 3 Dutch companies...
