Join the new world

Gaining medals is probably the primary way of obtaining gold. Each medal gives you an award of 5 gold. As mentioned below, some medals are much easier than others to achieve, and some are virtually impossible to get (unless you have a credit card). There are nine different medals that can be gained, but most people only manage to gain two or three different types of medals. Unfortunately, game mechanics benefits the experienced and wealthy to gain even more wealth, but who ever said eLife was fair? Before I start a rant, let’s get straight to the details.


Hard Worker
This is the easiest medal to achieve. All you need to do is work 30 days in a row to get 5 easy gold. Note that you do not need to work in the same company for 30 days in a row, but as long as you work some time before daychange for 30 days, you get the medal. Simple.


Congress Member
If you win the Congress Elections, which are held every 25th of the month, you gain 5 gold. Don’t think you can win an election and run away with the gold. Congressmen (or Members of Parliament, whatever you want to call it) are expected to fulfill their duties. In the past when people ran away with the gold, they stood no chance of re-election.


Country President
As you guessed, this is achieved by winning the Presidential Election, which are held on the 5th of each month. This prestigious medal is reserved for only the most dedicated politicians, someone who can lead this country.


Media Mogul
The Media Mogul is given to people that have 1,000 subscribers to their newspaper. Back during the times of high population and organisations, many people were able to purchase subscriptions to get their medal. Now, organisations cannot subscribe and are being phased out, and the population is much lower than at its peak. This newspaper has existed for over two years, and is not even close from getting 1,000 subscribers, so it is a daunting task to achieve this.


Battle Hero
This medal is given to the person that committed the most damage in a mini-battle. Two are given in each mini-battle, one on each side. Unfortunatly, this medal is skewed towards people who already have a high number of Battle Hero Medals, as they have the most strength, experience, and real money.


Campaign Hero
The same concept as the Battle Hero Medal, except this one is given to the person who committed the most damage during all the mini-battles combined. Needless to say, this medal is even tougher to get, and it is almost guaranteed to go to the person with the biggest credit card.


Resistance Hero
The medal is given out to a person that starts a resistance war in a region which is ultimately won by the 'Resisting' nation who originally owned the region. Usually, these resistance wars are sorted out beforehand, so don’t attempt to start one by yourself as the battle will most likely be ignored and lost. The cost to start a resistance is 10,000 of the local currency, of which a person can pay 1,000 towards it up to 10 people. Each person who has payed 1,000 local currency gets the medal and the 5 gold if the resistance is won


Super Soldier
The last few medals discussed are almost impossible to get, but don’t worry, this one is very easy. Every time you gain 250 strength, you gain a medal. If you train every day, you can achieve this in 42 days, or 30 days if you use the 0.19 gold booster every day. This does not calculate bonuses from having a natural enemy.


Society Builder
This medal is given out to people who invite 10 people to eRepublik who reach level 10. But let’s think about this for a moment. Do you really want to admit to ten people that you play this game and you want them to join as well? Me neither. You could spam random sites with links, but people don't like that and I wouldn't recommend it.


Mercenary
This is the newest medal, which was released on 21 July, 2011. In order to achieve this, you must defeat 25 enemeies for 50 countries (that is, 25 per country, so defeating a total of 1,250). Since this is new, not much is known on how difficult this is, but I can imaging this might take a while, especially considering how not that many countries have wars going on during a certain period in time.


Coming Soon
There are currently two other medals that are "Coming Soon". Nothing is know about these medals, and it is unknown when these will be released. Once further information is known about these medals, this guide will be updated.
