War has been declared against us by the Korean State. My allies and I have been battling for two days now. We have been forced to be on the defensive. The enemies are stronger and technologically more advanced. My shields will be depleted in about an hour, and I will have to scrounge up for more.
It has been almost two months since my base was upgraded to level 16. Two days ago, I was able to upgrade it to level 20. But I was stuck at level 19 for a long time, assigned to farming tasks. Because of this, my resource income per day was potentially only about a million. But when I switched divisions and was assigned as a raider, my income per day almost tripled.
Raiding is not for everyone. If you want to have a laid back lifestyle, stick to farming. But if you're ready to put in the work, then the income you get from raiding is only limited by the time you don't want to sleep. I even thought that my APC's durability would be a constraint. But they are actually recovering these as they travel to and from their destination point. I've also discovered that if you have an all-vehicle team of raiders, the travel time is almost cut by half. Their raiding power is weaker though, but with most inactives not really requiring a huge amount of seiging power, this isn't really an issue.
Still, since most of our enemies in this State War have reached base levels 22 and above, we are forced to turtle up. I've tried to take the fight to the Korean's own state, but after attacking several of their buildings, their guardians were quick to respond and bring me down. I was forced to retreat back to my home state.
Some of my allies were lost in this battle. Even one of our long-time battle tested generals lost the motivation to continue. It's a shame how he just abandoned everything. Now, the enemies are pillaging his base and looting what he has worked hard for.
In the end, everyone is destined to be a farm of someone else. And when the state only has a few people left, it's no better than a dead state.
I'm still hoping I'll survive to see you again. Regards - Nate.
