I would argue that the soviet union's collapse is what has left a marked 'influence' on the world...
back to defending ETC, yes we lost a string of battles. but we have had some shake ups in our leadership and will be back to previous form soon enough. In fact, I believe we are already making progress, as we held the Outlaw fort yesterday in a good show of force.
Goo brothers... yes we had little shake on the leadership!
Soviet Union was more problematic and its successors republican faced shard pain and decline in GDP. I hate those communist lol I had visited communist country and was ache living over their. *Grins
They had no influence in our society except being pain in the ass
ETC are over-rated, losing all those forts recently proved it, and remeber that attacking is more difficult than defending so I think you will have your work cut out in trying to retrieve them
Right now, forts don't mean much. 6 hours to recover energy sounds great, until you realize you also need to sleep in real life so you still tend to sleep in your town's level 5 hotel overnight.
There are no fort shops yet, fort battles may or may not give you good exp, it depends a lot on the sides (if both sides can mobilize, it's a good idea to join to get some good exp, in lopsided battle, you don't get as much, alas).
