Thanks to Priisus
So what are War Assets, Total Military Strength, Effective Military Strength and Readiness Rating?! How do they affect the ending of the game?
Your War Assets will add up to your Total Military Strength (TMS) but this is not what determines the ending options of the game. Effective Military Strength (EMS) is what that affects it.
EMS = TMS multiplied by % of your Readiness Rating.
Readiness Rating will stay at 50% default, you can increase it through Multiplayer, the iOS apps Mass Effect Infiltrator & Datapad. Datapad is the only "pure" free option... but only if you own an iOS device.
Also for those asking what the maximum amount of TMS one can get in the SP campaign, its approximately 7430 (which basically translates to 3715 EMS with no multiplayer). Before the exteneded cut was released, 4000 ems was required, if Anderson was 'saved', to get the breath scene. If the player lets TIM shoot Anderson, 5000 ems was required. With the release of the extended cut, only 3100 ems is needed to get the breath scene.
The dlc war assets are posted separately
The list is based on the SP campaign only, thus I will not add the war assets that can be gained from Multiplayer and Mass Effect Infiltrator!
