so i've been playing warera for like 3 weeks now and i think we've been doing it wrong the whole time
be me
join the game
everyone immediately starts bombing each other
my country has like 4 soldiers and a broken tank
declare war anyway because thats what you do i guess??
get absolutely destroyed in 6 minutes
lose all my territory to a guy named xXSlayer67Xx
bro. BROOOO. what if we just... didnt do that
like hear me out. instead of spending all your resources building missiles to throw at chad_overlord's capital, what if you just traded with him. sent him some wheat. wrote him a nice message. maybe even formed an alliance and went to prom together idk
the game literally has diplomacy mechanics that nobody uses. NOBODY. i checked. the alliance board has been empty for 3 months. we are genuinely too busy nuking each other to read the manual
inb4 this is a war game you absolute smoothbrain
yeah i know its literally called WAR ERA. i get it. very subtle naming. but the thing is, every single round ends the same way one guy wins, everyone else is a smoking crater, and we all restart and do it again like goldfish with artillery
at what point is that just content addiction with extra steps
anyway i joined a small country that had zero wars, been quietly farming and building trade routes for a week, and i have more gold than the entire top 10 combined so joke's on all of you
make love not war. or at least make trade deals not war. touch grass. read a book. be the switzerland of warera io
that is my ted talk
