The recent invasion of South Africa by Indonesia has already broken a number of Erepublik records, most fights, most countries involved, largest battle, but there is another record that has been broken that most people won’t be aware of…
MOST CLONES!
The other day, whilst watching the fight on the third day (where South Africa and her allies were actually on the attack) I noticed a guy called Gustav_Sigurd killing off a load of South African and Allied attackers.
Gustav? That doesn’t sound very Indonesian.
Let’s click on his profile. Oh, he’s Swedish? I thought they were on our side? And it turns out he only moved to Indonesia today after being in South Africa killing off Indonesian attackers. Right, so he’s moving around to get the defender bonus and build up his kill ratio, ‘interesting’ tactic.
And it seems to be working, over 80 kills and only about a dozen deaths. He’s obviously also not afraid of spending his own gold to recuperate, he dies and pops back again later to fight on!
Let’s watch him in action…
Oh that’s lucky - many of the people attacking him, whilst he is defending on his own, are guys who have just been born and don’t even have a weapon. Str 1, wellness 50, and -50 for being unarmed aren’t going to do much damage to a seasoned veteran.
Hmm, ‘lucky’. These are obviously clones and he seems to be killing an awful lot of them! Thinks I’ll send a report to the admins with the urls of a few of these clones so they can investigate, I also tell them my theory that Gustav is the one behind the clones.

I then send Gustav a message asking him if he is enjoying killing of a load of clones (no doubt using the Gold from inviting them, he had lots of ‘money market offers’ posted to transfer the Gold without detection, or so he thought).
I got this reply: “and also yesterday i fight for africa.also today i secured a lot of places.I am trying to get rank.i am always near who is defending.they pay me and i am going near defending team.
if south africa defends i will go to south africa side.
i have nothing to do against fakes.ıf someone puts them against me i have to kill.i am joining the war and figthing with anyone who comes to attack.”
Sure you are…
Anyway - next day I get a reply back from admins - “Thanks you helped us a lot with this.
Thanks to you we have banned 230 multis created for fighting.”
230 multis
Holy Guacamole!
And sure enough, Gustav was one of the ‘original’ citizens behind the cloning:

Bye-bye cloner!!
I don’t know if there were other people behind the clones but they are hopefully also banned.
So the moral of the story - keep an eye out for clones! The tactic seems to be mainly used for getting the defender some cheap kills in order to boost their kill ratio.

How to: “Guide to Hospitals”
Just so everyone knows how to use them and the tricks some people play.
Hospital Use
In order to use a hospital, you must have fought that day (according to the rules).
1. Enter Battle.
2. If you win the battle, you have the option to leave the battle or stay and fight again, depending on whether or not other soldiers are waiting in queue on the other side. If there is, then it will automatically put you into the next battle.
3. Once you lose there are two ways to use the hospital. You can either A) Leave the battle area and return, which it will give you the option to “recover lost wellness”. Once you click this link, it will take you to the “Buy Wellness” screen, where you can click “Go to Hospital”. The other option is B) Go immediately to your profile, and click the wellness link on the top right. It will automatically take you to the same page. Click “Go to Hospital” (as with other quick links, you might have to click it twice. I know gifts do the same thing. The first click doesnt do anything, the second click works).
This will regain your wellness ten times the quality of the hospital in that city. For Austin, it will restore 40 wellness, bringing you back to 50. You must be at least 31 wellness to fight. It will not let you enter battle below that.
The Games People Play
As we have seen during the Sausage and Czech Wars, you can actually use gifts as weapons. By retaining Q1 gifts in your inventory, if you gift soldiers that havent used the hospital AFTER they fight, they cannot use the hospital. Personally, I feel this is a simple glitch in the hospital system, but it hasnt been fixed in two weeks so we’ll see if they ever do. My recommendations is to copy this link BEFORE you fight, and simply paste it into your URL browser after the fight has completed so they cannot use this tactic.
I hope this clears up any issues that anyone has with our hospital systems. They work just fine so long as you reside in the city that has one (which close to ten regions in the US have at least a Q1 hospital). We have worked VERY hard on attaining these in both my and Nave’s administration, and you would have to work very hard to find another country with as many hospitals as we have available to us. As many have pointed out, the fact that we have 51 regions means we have more ground to cover, but thats why we try to base our Army out of just a couple of cities.
