Would a petition be required ?

[Semigall]

I REALLY would like to play E:TW.

But Russia's warmongering politics kinda makes WW3 more possible, so...

Maybe we should make a petition to Kremlin to delay start of WW3 at least a month after E:TW release ?

Not that i'm afraid of war or sth, no, some of my friends are buying guns, getting ready, i'll do it too, when i'll have saved enough money. Also, i love that part of partisan warfare where you have to live in woods, 'couse i love living in woods, survival, etc, i even consider it romantic

BUT. Before i enjoy nowaday warfare i want to enjoy virtual warfare of 1700-1800 warfare which E:TW will be so kindly offering.

So what do you think, would a petition to delay war be necessary ?


And, yes, Russia's actions are like Germany preWW2, they start with small conquests and then go further when they see that nobody gives a damn. It's a normal warmongering politics of 20th and 21th century conquerors, it's notting new for sure.

The only thing what matters is that we all would manage to fullfil our little dreams in time, 'till bombs start to fly You know, it will be pretty hard to play E:TW afterwards your PC is destroyed by a 50 megaton nuke



P.S. Also small countries need to buy any time possible to increase civil defense (if not officially by government then by far thinking individuals and organizations), but that wouldn't serve as a good reason for petition, i guess


*edit* Mods, if this topic is in wrong forum, feel free to move it as you please

Everything should be stopped until the release of the ETW.
Then, they can do whatever they want. I'll be playing
my Prussian campaign .

I haven't voted, but things aren't really the same as preWW2 or as simple as you put them. About the guns thing and the seeming fear of Russia as soon as it makes a move, may I ask where you are from?

[griegoLON]

There is no comparison between Russia and ww2 or ww3 whatsoever. You can claim the same about the US. The difference is that the Russians are a lot more blatant and use brutal force right away, whereas as the Americans are sneaky and try to convince others to join them in their 'freedom wars'. They both have the same objectives, only the approach is different.

Can some moderator close this thread please? I adds no value at all to ETW discussions.

What the **** are you talking about?

The United States has not once been an instigator of a World War, not once. They have been involved that's for sure but they have never triggered one

The Americans were only involved in World War I for the last year and a half of the conflict.

World War II began when the British and French agreed to aid Poland against the advance of the Nazis. The US declared war shortly after.

What War isn't brutal?

Sure the US may have gained allies and goaded them into entering Iraq in recent times but this thread isnt even about the US. It's about the Russians invading Georgia, which is similar to the Nazi invasion of Poland which began World War II; small conquests beginning larger things.

World War III is a major possibility especially with the placement of NATO ships in the Black Sea. there was already a "mini war" this month when Georgia tried to retake South Ossetia.

I wonder if the political system and international relationships in ETW will be as complicated as in the Real world. Imagine a powerful nation attacking a small nation then other powerful nations coming to the aid of the smaller nation and triggering an 18th century world war. That would be sweet.

I'll sign your petition Semigall, i want to be able to enjoy ETW too without the burden of a World War III .

Also I hope i didn't get any of that info wrong, world events sometimes get a little distorted when they come to Australia.

do I need to remind you of the US involvement in the middle east from the 80s till now, in south america during the cold war, in asia, and in africa? The objectives of all superpowers are the same: make as much benefit as possible at the cost of others. The situation between Russia and Georgia has nothing to do with the Nazis. Georgia took the pi$$ out of them and Russia reacted heavily. Georgia is an expansion of Nato on Russia's borders, which is something the russians don't like.

I will ask you another question. What is Nato's role today? Should it be dissolved, yes or no?

Just what the Politicall Mudpit needs! Another idiotic thread.

Near the Russia's border, Baltic states, Latvia

We have almost nonexistant military forces, crappy civil defense, but we're still rich on natural forests good for a loooong partisan warfare

Yet anyway we're one of the most easiest targets for quick expansion of a new empire x_x

[Slapa]

Wut ? There's "world" and "wars" outside Total War ?

[Chim]

Thread moved to the appropriate section.

[Ojf]

Lol make a online petition ill sign, even though we will probobly get assassinated or arrested by our governments and put on terror charges

[craziii]

what makes you guys think ww3 will arrive? more like nato vs russia. russia cannot sustain a major war right now. usa would need to pull out all it's troops from iraq to be able to do anything. not sure of the war readyness of the rest of the nato members.

main point, do you guys really want nato vs russia? china would sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits you know. with all the china hate lately, I would think you guys would try everything to avoid war.

please no more russia topics, my brain is melting.
