	You get military strength by recruiting. Galactic readiness is a % that is raised by doing multiplayer. Say you had a glactic readiness of 50% and had a military strength of 5000, your effective military strength would only be 2500.

	Which is the only thing that has really pissed me off about this game. Multiplayer should not affect single player, it is total BS. It also ruins the game for people like me, who don't have xbox live gold anymore.

	Put simply, Effective Military Strength = War Assets(forgot if there's a specific term) x Galactic Readiness War Assets refers to all the stuff you gather from doing main and side quests, and scanning systems. You'll probably have noticed notifications in the lower right corner. Galactic Readiness is locked at 50% in a single player game. Now, what it means is that if you have, say, 1000 War Assets, your Effective Military Strength will be 50% x 1000, ie, 500. The GR can be increased by playing multiplayer, or the iOS game. The advantage in increasing this entity is that your War Assets will be used more efficiently. So for example, if you raise your GR to 80%, your Effective Military Strength will be 800. Effective Military Strength, as I said above, is a product of War Assets and GR. For the best ending, you need a EMS of 5,000, so if you're not planning on doing multiplayer or anything apart from the core ME3 single player, you'll need 10,000 War Assets (since GR is set at 50%) ------------------- \|\|Digiport\|\|Playstation 3\|\|Join The Survivors\|\|

	BioWare claims you can get "the best endings without playing multiplayer", but I don't think it's even possible to get 10,000 War Assets. I did every side mission, scanned every war asset possible and I ended with under 7000. ------------------- train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day

	No idea. I haven't beaten the game yet, and there are a lot of conflicting opinions on the net. BW says there are more than enough War Assets to get the best ending without playing MP, so take from that what you will. ------------------- \|\|Digiport\|\|Playstation 3\|\|Join The Survivors\|\|

	quote justplayingitcool Which is the only thing that has really pissed me off about this game. Multiplayer should not affect single player, it is total BS. It also ruins the game for people like me, who don't have xbox live gold anymore. New copies(in NA at least) should come with 2 day xbox live gold pass. Thats more than enough to get you GR up to 100%. Barring the people that you play with, if you join games at Bronze level and leave the rest random then it will take approximately 20 games. they last anywhere between 12-20 minutes a match. I remember were were at Firebase Dagger i believe and me (Krogan Soldier) and this person named Neostar or something (Human female vanguard) were shredding the place apart against Cerberus. It basically took my day off to get them all too 100% and I had a blast doing it (and I was planning to play ME3 anyway). never had to buy xbox live gold for it

Ever! I guess if I want the best ending I might use it. When the 2 day expires does it revert back to silver?
