This document contains the most valuable and important lessons for our future in eRepublik. It is this tutorial that will help improve your future in this game, and it is this tutorial that will improve the future of eSwitzerland. We are a small country, and if our citizens are unable to recieve the necessary education, we will be small and weak. With this tutorial we will have strong and capable players defending our country regardless of our allies, as it is humiliating for us to have to depend on other nations in order to defend our own territory. So I repeat, read everything, everything! Don’t be lazy, the tutorial may be lengthy, but it is necessary. This tutorial can and will improve our country. I repeat, it is extremely important to read everything. By now you should understand just how important reading and understanding this tutorial really is, to both you and to eSwitzerland!



This tutorial is dedicated to a thorough understanding of the military module, being part of the "Advance Bottle Project (BAP)", developed by LucasFTM and party members of Advance in search of a stronger society.

Pay close attention to every sentence, every word of this tutorial. This tutorial will train the strongest soldiers in this game, making our small nation, Switzerland, even stronger.

This tutorial is avaliable on the following link without the political parts to everybody send it to our new players regardless of party, let´s shout, let´s put this link on our articles, lets improve eSwitzerland!: http://goo.gl/cmkA9w



If you were “born” today, or have played only a few days, your interface is different (similar to megacity, cityville...) and this tutorial will not work for this interface. You get a interface with several buildings, which you should click to recieve what these buildings offer you.
Try to get as much strength as possible clicking on the training grounds. The training grounds produce strength every time, so it is imperative you login to collect it.
Don't worry! Your interface will eventually change and then you will be able to understand this tutorial!

If your interface has training grounds, companies and a rocket factory in a different window and do not seem like megacity, proceed and carefully read this tutorial.



1. Saving your gold

In your early days playing eRepublik, you have at your disposal various military, economic and political missions. Try to complete as many missions as possible. The rewards of these missions will help you achieve higher levels which will in turn reward you with gold, we recommend that you do not spend your gold right away. You should save it! Because of a profit motive, eRepublik puts emphasis on the battlefield, where you can spend gold to recover your energy, do NOT do this! Wait until the next day or use an Energy bar if you have to. We will explain shortly why it is so necessary to save your gold.





2. Avoid leveling up

eRepublik has 4 divisions of battle, the first is for ranks 0-34 , the second ranks 35-49, the third ranks 50-69 and the fourth rank 70+. Now hear me out, if you have more strength, you are more powerful... If you are in a low division you will play with weaker players. I.e. leveling up is not always a benefit. If you have high strength, and you are at a low rank/division, you will have more chances to win medals in your division, and more influence in changing the result any given battle if you are fighting with weaker players!

This is the main principle of "Tanking". I recommend that you do missions and fight until you reach level 25. Why 25? Because at level 25 you will be free to build rockets of Quality 2 (I will explain about the rockets soon).

When you reach level 25 you should avoid fighting because the more you fight, the more XP you accumulate and so you further increase your level, which is not recommended. Fight only in battles where your presence is really needed and battles involving eSwitzerland so you can earn True Patriot Medals.



3. When and Where to use gold

3.1 - First you must use your gold to upgrade your training grounds. The training grounds allow you to get more strength. Give priority to upgrading the free training ground, where upgrading to Quality 4 will allow you to recieve 20 strength (for free) each day you train. You will receive help from the BAP (Bottle Advance Project) with affording upgrades to your free training ground. To receive help you should fill out the form linked at the end of this article.

3.2 - Second you must upgrade your rocket factory. You are only able to upgrade to Quality 2 upon reaching level 25. Therefore, it is recommended that you reach level 25 relatively quickly, thereby allowing you to produce and launch rockets which deal 250,000 damage. But why is the rocket so important?



Simple, with only one hit you already have dealt 250,000 damage (Q1 is 50,000), it is extremely important for "tanks", once you have completed your rocket damage you have to fight with tanks, and this will cause you to rapidly gain XP and increase your level (which as stated above, is not recommended) .

To build the rocket you should go to your storage, have the amount of weapons needed (you will lose it when you build the rocket) and click on build rocket.



3.3 - Thir😛 invest in the special training grounds. Those who are able to, should pay to train. This will further increase your strength. Begin upgrading the first special training ground and then proceed to upgrade the third special training ground, and finally upgrade the second special training ground.



But you should not train in it. eRepublik offers a training contract monthly, train on these special training grounds just in case you get a training contract. Sign the cheaper training contract if you have only one or two special training grounds at Q4. Sign the most expensive training contract if you have two or all special training grounds at Q4.

*ATTENTION: MAKE SURE TO ONLY UPGRADE YOUR TRAINING GROUND DURING THE DISCOUNTED TIME! THERE IS A DISCOUNT TIME MONTHLY. (THE DISCOUNT OFFERS ARE UNDER THE WEEKLY CHALLENGE AND ABOVE THE MAP. IF THERES NOTHING INFORMING YOU ABOUT DISCOUNT ITS BECAUSE THERES NO DISCOUNT FOR ANYTHING)

*ATTENTION: TRY TO SAVE ALL SPECIAL ITEMS FOR GREAT BATTLES OR TO DEFEND YOUR BH IF IT IS CLOSE; SPECIAL ITEMS INCLUDE BAZOOKAS, BOMBS, ROCKETS AND ENERGY BARS.



4 - Always seek a Battle Hero medal (BH)

If you want to fight, always seeks to profit from the battle, and accumulate gold. How? Simple, fight for the BH (Having the most damage on either side of the battle) or doing damage towards the True Patriot medal (TP), which can be earned by fighting for your nation.



4.1 What are the basic recommendations to get a BH?

Fight in the last minutes of the battle, when a nation has reached at least 1720 points. Check who is the current battle hero, check his profile, strength, and if he is online, his achievements. If he is online and he is strong, you shouldn’t attempt to take the medal, as he will succeed in defending it and you will have wasted your damage. And, as is intuitive, you do not want to waste your damage on battles where it is not feasible to obtain the BH medal. Be careful where you use your damage, because if you are not well prepared you will not be able to change the outcome of the battle, and all of your effort will be in vain. Remember to utilize the rocket, it can help you to defend your BH and make wracking up damage easy! That’s the basic idea , try to chat with experienced players and accomplished soldiers to better understand the module and gain valuable insights and experience.



On this link you check the active battle and its current battle heroes: http://battle-watcher.com/campaigns/active/. It can helps you a lot because you will know where is more easy to take and defend your BH.



Well folks, this is a small (yes, small for the complexity of the issue) tutorial for you to obtain the basics of how to be a great soldier. I hope you follow all the lessons included here, because they will change your destiny and that of eSwitzerland.
