I am planning to keep this going!!!
Afterwind.
Back in the game's beginning.
Back in the game's beginning.
1) First user of AtWar? "Tester". It was an account made by the Admins for test the game.
2) The great Merge, the charge between AtWar and Afterwind was made on 28/11/2012.
3) The First Moderator was Cardinal. However the first "Moderator Team" was:

AtWar Radio Recruitment Office
6) atWar have a radio integrated to the game. It was suggested by tesla. Also, hugosch and Kona-chan helped to manage it.
Currently Trooper21 is the president.
AtWar Times Network
7) The AtWar Times Network, better know as ATN, is a central where people submit reports, articles and opinions about the game. It emerge as a combination from LDK's Afterwind Times (AT) and Mathdino's Afterwind News Network (ANN). The homepage can be found in the next link:
Since 06.11.2013, Madara is the president.
AtWar Academy
8) If you are still a newbie and would like some advice for improve, then you can have a mentor willing to help you! The community also have an AtWar Academy in which you can have a class about certain knowledge in atWar. It is currently presided by ]Mr_Own_U.
The AtWar academy first idea comes from a player named Emir Timur, (currently Kentuckyball). He suggested the community to make "a program" that allow lowranks to be trained. After that, Soul Reaper (currently Soul) started the first "Adopt a newbie" program. After 6 months, when Soul left atWar, Madara took care of the program, launching the Second version of the " Adopt a newb".
However, after 2 months madara left the game for a while and shutted down the program. Therefore, Mr_Own_U made the actual one. This is the link to the currently AtWar Academy:

10) Max units UK can get on paris turn 1: 52
11) Max units UK can get on netherlands turn 1: 48
12) Wondering why your infantry are slow? The Perfect Defense strategy give -1 range to infantry.
13) Lack of attack power? SM infantry get -1 attack. They are more likely to lose in a battle between 2 infantry vs 1 militia.
14) Max units turkey can get on kiev turn 3(PD): 100-120.
15) Max units ukraine can get on kiev turn 3(SM): 100-105.
16) Spain can beat NC france rush on rome, however, it requires tanks. Some of the strats capable to do this are GC, LB and PD.
17) Max units italy can get on madrid turn 1(PD)(many vary in TeamGames): 35
18) Relentless Attack( RA) is the most used strategy of the game.
19) However, PD is the most used strat for 3vs3 eu+ extra cities game.
20) Some facts about cost-efficiently units:
GW militias: 4 attack / 30 cost = 1 attack per 7.5 cost. RA tanks: 9 attack / 100 cost = 0.9 attack per 11 cost.
GW marines: 7 attack / 70 cost = 1 attack per 10 cost.. SM bombers: 8 attack / 130 cost = 1 attack per 16.25 cost.
IMP infantry: 3 attack / 30 cost = 1 attack per 10 cost.. MOS marines: 8 attack / 110 cost= 1 attack per 13.75 cost.
IMP militias: 2 attack / 10 cost = 1 attack per 5 cost.. DS helicopter: 8 attack / 130 cost = 1 attack per 16.25 cost.
PD infantry: 4 attack / 50 cost = 1 attack per 12.5 cost.. HW marines: 6 attack / 70 cost = 1 attack per 15 cost.
Checking at the table, the IMP militias and GW marines are one of the most cost-efficiently units in the game, while the DS helicopters and SM bombers are at the worst cost-efficiently units.
21) While checking the battle log, you may notice there are some strange lines. They are stealth units! With some calculation, you can know their location:
This is what you see, some strange lines on Luanda and Luena. Even though you see the lines, in the last turn you didn't saw any unit in that location, and it doesn't look like Luena or Luanda got stacked with infantry, bombers, tanks... ect:
This is what your enemy see: Submarines and marines!
This trick can be used for know if the enemy have any submarine or marine. Although you can't see marines or submarines or stealth planes, if they enter on a city, the game register their lines.
With this information you can know there are stealth units going at your territory, so you can prepare a better defense.
Another example:
There is a line from Birmingham to Plymouth, then a strange line from nowhere attack Ireland!
In the middle of the sea, there is also a line that goes from nowhere to Plymouth. Check how the units in Plymouth are the same as in the last turn ( they are stealth, therefore, they don't appear in your screen).
Maneuver.
For a better use of unit's range.
For a better use of unit's range.
22) Chaining transports: With a simple trick you can avoid mixing transports and use them in the most efficient way possible.
Secure you have enough distance for move the sea transport.
Without click, put the mouse over the units. Click on the sea trans.
Now you can move the sea transport and leave the infantry drowned on water.
Take the infantries drowned with the other sea transport, and move on.When this trick is used effectively, the transports can travel far and perform efficiently. Chaining transports, you can go from Bilbao.... to Saint Petesburg!
Going from northern and Baltic sea I managed to get from Bilbao to Saint Petesburg chaining 4 sea transports. I also tried to go from Barcelona to Saint Petesburg, using 3 expensive Air Transports. The sea transport chair also allowed me to carry 20 troops with Naval Commander, while the Air Transport with SM can only carry 6 troops in total.
23) Is possible to drown land units on sea, and even make a wall.
24) Land units wall on sea are breakable by naval units under some circumstances, if you can aim to the center of the line of wall:
25) You can cross from UK mainland to Belfast without sea transport, following the next steps:
zoom in to the max
zoom out to the max 
26) A naval unit can take/jump to Glasgow from the other side of scotland.
27) There are some places where you can cross if you put the sea or air transport in a specific place. Some of theses "bridge" are:
-From UK to France:
-From greece to izmir:
28) You can cross naval units across a small patch of land, and land units across a small patch of water. Very useful for maneuver:
Brittany shortcut:
Zoom in to the max, looking to anchor the boat as far as possible.
Click. Game will automatically adjust the boat to land.
Try to move the boat, and anchor further on land.
You will notice how you took a small patch of land. 
Move on. Is useful to look to the smaller distance between water and land for sail easier.29) From izmir to Rome:
30) Sea transport on Sweden's lakes:
More shortcut's and patch are listened at the end of the topic.
31) " Every little range count". PD infantry can reach from rome to turin, if you cross a small patch of water:
Income & Reinforcements.
Default map economy, troops and related.
Default map economy, troops and related.
32) What determines the amount of reinforcements on a country? According to Cardinal Ouellet :
2.7 Million and + : 8 reinforcements
2.3 Million and + : 7 reinforcements
2.0 Million and + : 6 reinforcements
1.6 Million and + : 5 reinforcements
1.3 Million and + : 4 reinforcements
0.9 Million and + : 3 reinforcements
0.6 Million and + : 2 reinforcements
0.5 Million and - : 1 reinforcements
(Vienna = 2.3 million= 6 reinforcements.... but salt lake city 2.3 million =7reinforcements).
The original threat can be found here
[size=4]Whole World:
33)The amount of income available in the default map is 34,825:
34) Available reinforcements in the default map: 1943.
35) Tokyo, japan, is the richest city of the map, with 552 income. Followed by Moscow, russia (438 income) and Shangai, China: Southeast (436 income).

44) Lagos is the richest city of Africa, with 102 income. Followed up by Cairo (85 income) and Algiers (83 income).
45) The richest countries of Africa also hold the highest reinforcements rate of the continent. South Africa lead up with 33 reinforcements, followed up by Nigeria (21 reinforcements) and Egypt (20 reinforcements). Other countries that offer a high rate of reinforcements are Morocco (13 reinforcements) , Cameroon (12 reinforcements) and Kenya (10 reinforcements).

Your attack calculations are wrong because the attack value you stated is the max attack. We often refer to this as the absolute attack, but the truth is average attack is slightly more than half of it. This is because the true attack is a random value between 1 and the max attack, which is executed twice and then halved to make it closer to the average. This means that the true statistics are considerably different to the ones posted there. This would be the technically correct version: (average shortened to avg) GW militia: 2.5 avg attack / 30 cost = 1 attack per 12 cost. RA tanks: 5 avg attack / 110 cost = 1 attack per 22 cost. GW marines: 4 avg attack / 70 cost = 1 attack per 17.5 cost.. SM bombers: 4.5 avg attack / 130 cost = 1 attack per ~29 cost. IMP infantry: 2 avg attack / 30 cost = 1 attack per 15 cost.. MOS marines: 4.5 avg attack / 110 cost= 1 attack per ~24.5 cost. IMP militia: 1.5 avg attack / 10 cost = 1 attack per ~7 cost.. DS helicopters: 4.5 avg attack / 130 cost = 1 attack per ~29 cost. PD infantry: 2.5 avg attack / 50 cost = 1 attack per 20 cost.. HW marines: 3.5 avg attack / 70 cost = 1 attack per 20 cost.

Exactly because the average goes random is why I choosed an absolute attack. Remember critical influence it too. A tank wth 8 attack can roll up to 16 damange random. I do not trust any way to calculate "average" as it is random all the times. In what do you relie for post theses <<average>> strat?

Mathematical methods for calculating averages are well established and utterly reliable. If one takes the max attack to be X, and the game will at random deal damage between 1 and X, then the formula is (X+1)/2 More simply put, you add one to the max attack and half it (you add 1 because you can't deal 0 damage. Still don't believe me, then consider this: 1 normal inf has 4 max attack, so it has an equal opportunity of dealing damage between 1 and 4, so the average will be the middle of these numbers. I could add 1+2+3+4 to give 10, and then divide that by 4 to give 2.5, but (4+1)/2=2.5, a simpler method. If that confuses you, consider this:  If you really don't believe this then look it up. Calculating means (averages in this sense) is a normal procedure used often in everyday statistics and maths. You didn't include the chance of critical in your calculations so I won't either, but the increase in attack would be identical if it was calculated right, so there is little relevance there. And for Jared, HP has no effect on this whatsoever, as all the units have the same HP.

I was thinking to make an interesting history long ago, about atWar history.... It would incluides titles like this: •) atWar circa 2008 •) A dream between two brothers. •) The Beginning. •) The first generation of Afterwinders. •) The first Moderator Team. •) Gameplay: A move foward. •) Forums: A way for improve •) Beta release •) Dalmati •) Pera and The Avengers •) Biteme too! •) United Leage of Power •) Afterwind Alpha. •) The merge. •) atWar opinions about the new scenario tools. •) Clan war system. •) Tournament. •) Constructing the future.

The problem is that the Devs are currently developing HTML5, and some of the first Afterwinders already left the game. If I can't get their opinion then this would be an impossible task...
