eRepublik

eRepublik is a cool online world filled with strategy, politics, and war. Today is day 2165 in came which is the count of how many days since the start of the game. When first starting out, you choose a name and country to begin the daily grind of working and training. Working gives you currency and working for your companies will provide you with raw materials, food, and/or weapons depending on your companies. Training will provide you with strength which determines your attack on the battlefield. You will start out with companies that produce raw material for you to use and a company to produce level 1 or Q1 food. There are also missions that will help guide you through the beginning levels. After every level you unlock more of the game until you reach the level when you become an Adult Citizen.

eRepublik has made a lot of changes over the years. I originally started playing the first version or V1 back in the first year it came out but the system was difficult and the countries where unstable. A lot of changes came with V2 but most of them made thing worse. The price of food to keep you citizen alive cost more than a days wage and at the time you didn't start out with companies that produced food like you do now. Eventually I lost interest and deleted my account...Until recently. I saw an ad that look interesting and clicked on it (which I don't often do). I didn't recognize the game at first until I saw the logo and remembered the it. I almost closed the window but then I stopped and looked around at how much it seemed to changed. So I made a new account and started fresh in the eUK.

The eUK has been incredibly helpful as a new citizen. They send a welcoming letter to you within your first day of playing, and they have a National Health Service in place that provides new citizens with free food (NOTE: you do have to apply for the NHS). Most of the military groups also have rewards for achievements and metals you earn. I would highly recommend the eUK as a great starting place for your new citizen.

My personal strategy if I could start over would be to hold off on fighting in the wars and instead just do the daily grind until your strength reaches 250 and you get your first Super Soldier metal and a Hard Worker metal or two. By that time you will have plenty of money to buy Q6 and Q7 weapons and the strength to deal some serious damage and move up the ranks quickly. I however did not do this. I fought from the very beginning and it worked for me but I have yet to earn a metal and my damage done in battle is weak compared to other my level. They also just added a weekly prestige bar that can earn you more rewards by the numbers of hits you make on the battlefield. rewards this week include faster health recovery, 10 strength points, 1000 storage, 20 strength points, and more.
