Hello Danes,

This is the first of several articles that, together, will create the official (Danish) eRep's Guide. My main goal when I developed this project was to teach new players the possibilities they'll have on this game, to teach some tips and keep new Danes with us. Here you can see the project.




1- BEGINNING OF THE GAME

Hello new Dane!

Welcome to eDenmark Community at eRepublik.

I think you are probably lost in this game. Am I right? If yes, don't worry! Everyone who start to play eRepublik have the same difficulties. In the truth, I'll tell you something and keep this with you: eRepublik is so much easy to play, and here is my first tip: Talk, talk a lot! Social interactions build this game. So any doubts you have ask, ask someone, ask a lot. The second tip: Be Patient! I know that is a little bit difficult to be patient but this game takes a long time to grow. Don't be sad for this, I have a good new for you: We can do a lot of things more in this game while we're growing.

What can I do all this time?

I answer you: You can be a good polician, or, maybe, a reputed journalist. Have you ever tought about building an economic empire? Or fight in epic wars? Here you can do all this anytime you want.

So...



So, let's learn the beggining of the game? Come with me.

WORK (My Places > Companies)



Number 1: If you don't have a Job yet, this area will have only one button, something like "get a job" (you can click and find a job). If you already got a job, this area will apear like in the picture.

TRAIN



Here is the place to gain Strength and become stronger. With more strength, more damage you can inflict on battles. You have 4 Training Centers, one free and three paid. They can be used only one time a day each one. You can upgrade them and icrease your Strength's gain per day.

FIGHT



This is the interface of a battle. Fighting you will be helping you country on its military goals. You can fight to gain some medals: True Patriot, Battle Hero, Campaign Hero. You can fight too to improve your military ranking, and inflict more damage. I'll write an article explaining everything about How, When and Why to fight soon.





4- EREPUBLIK'S RULES

It's important, wherever you go, to follow the rules. Do you know why? It's simple, because when people respect the rules we hava an organized society with rare problems.

At eRepublik, besides what I said above, it's important to follow the rules to keep you account alive. People that disrespect the rules can suffer some penaltys, and the most cruel of all is to have your account banned.

The rules can be seen here.





5- IMPORTANT TIPS



1. Be Patient (Do your daily steps - Work, train and fighte - and enjoy everything that the game can provide you - midia, political, economic carees);

2. Interact (Guides are good to understand the game, but social interactions are much better);

3. Save your Golds (The best way to invest your golds is to train - save them to upgrade your Training Centers and grow you strength faster. Every time you reach 250 of strength you gain a Super Soldier Medal, that gives you 5 golds).

4. Fight and work only the necessary (When you fight and work you gain XP. Gaining XP you gain levels. The military module in this game is divided in divisions: D1 (until level 34), D2 (until level 49), D3 (until level 69), D4 (from level 70...), so it's important to become stronger on you division before going to the next division. To stay for more time on your division you have to gain less XP as possible, so work less, fight only to fulfill your daily order and on important battles to you country and train a lot.
