[New Economic Module] Time Management
Dear citizens,
today we are going to talk about the new Time Management feature. But first of all, why such a thing? The answer is: because we want to add a lot more authenticity to your experience of being immersed in a living virtual world, simulating the real-world. For that, we will offer you 24 hour days within the game and let you decide how to spend your time in the game. The only difference, a cool one in our humble opinion, is that instead of waiting for the hours to pass like in real life, in eRepublik you can enjoy the benefits of the day's activities after just a few minutes!
Although we explained it in the last Insider there are still some citizens which are afraid that the Time Management feature will force them to wake up in the middle of the night to work, train, or study in eRepublik. Don't worry, you don't have to! When you start a new eRepublik day you can finish your “jobs” in just a few minutes. But why rushing it in the first place? You better analyze carefully how to spend your hours, because, as we'll see, every single hour will be very important for your character! Time Management will differentiate citizens from each other, and turn each of you unique!
Time Management will let you go to four different places: Company, Library, Training Grounds and Entertainment district. The more hours you spend doing something, the bigger the benefits for your citizen will be. Your task will be to balance the daily life of your citizen, and you will love that! You can select time periods in steps of one hour, up to the maximum value of 12 hours. That means you can't work for 24 hours or spend a whole studying in the library. But you can have fun in eRepublik all day long, if you wish!
Let's have a closer look at the Company, the familiar place where you will work. A new gameplay improvement is that you will earn your salary according to the number of hours you work . Of course, working long hours means more money for you, but also a bigger decrease of Happiness. The wellness (aka Health) will still decrease by a fixed value, according to the company customization level, just like it is now with the quality level of a company. As a compensation, the ones working hard will receive not just more money, but also a greater increase of their profession skill! This is because of another improvement: the profession skill increase will depend on your actual productivity, just like in real life. Most likely you will want to work as healthy and happy as possible, to achieve the highest productivity.
Ok, let's move on to the Library. There you can find another new concept in eRepublik, studying. This cool activity offers you the possibility to specialize in one or more professions. After you have worked, you might want to visit the library and learn more about your profession, thus improve your profession skill. Studying increases the profession skill of your choice, but it decreases your happiness at the same time, which we'll see later how to handle. Oh, we said “your profession”. Well, if you don't like your profession, you can simply focus on another one and and find a new job. You might work as a builder, but this does not mean that in your "free time" you have to learn only about building. You can study how to become, for example, a better carpenter, architect, or project manager. You can follow your dreams!The only limitation is the maximum total hours per day you can spend in the library. It's up to you how to manage your time: Spend all hours on studying just one profession, or spend them on a combination of different professions. Still, you can't study a specific profession more than once per day.
Now we get to the new Entertainment District. Besides buying products from the market place, which make your citizen a bit happier each day, you can spend some Gold on, for example, a cinema ticket that takes you to the movies for 2 hours, a nice restaurant where you dine for 3 hours, or even a day trip that takes 8 hours but returns your citizen as a very happy chap. See it as an investment in the overall well-being of your citizen. And don't forget, it's not a must-go area but might help you sometimes.
The Training Grounds work almost the same way as studying at the Library. You simply select the military skill you want to improve and the number of hours and there you go: you're on your way to become a great soldier. Yes, the new military module will have different types of military skills. Citizens will have four types of “strengths” which reflects their capabilities of fighting as an infantry soldier, a tank driver, a helicopter pilot, or an artillery gunner.
Remember, the new war module will offer player-versus-player fights; in a combat between a highly skilled infantry and a highly skilled tank, the outcome of the fight is almost certain. But on the other hand tanks are vulnerable to helicopters, and helicopters are vulnerable to artillery, while infantry has an advantage against artillery. So nothing is really certain at the end of the day. You will learn more about the ways of fighting against each other and strategies on the battlefield when we get to the military Insiders. For now, let's get back to Time Management.
Again, the limitation is that you can't train the same skill twice in one day, and that you have a limited amount of hours at your disposal. You can train, for example, one skill for 8 hours, or spend 2 hours on each military skill separately; it's completely up to you. The important thing is the total number of available hours.
Well, that's it for the Time Management. You will learn pretty fast how to play with it, a bigger challenge will be to find the best way to spend your time each day. One day you might need to work longer because you need more money. Another day you decide to spend as many hours at the training grounds as possible because you want to reach the next skill level as an infantry soldier. We are sure that this will be a lot of fun! It will give you the best of both worlds: Play the game for 5 minutes a day or spend more time in eRepublik if you want to dive deeper into the gameplay.
Stay tuned for the next Insider, which will explain in detail the new professions.

The eRepublik Team

That artillery vs helicopters thing is a little confusing.
Why didn't you just declare it as Anti Air Guns?
Might be too complicated for me
We do not need that! We need something to stop cheaters!
@Although we explained it in the last Insider there are still some citizens which are afraid that the Time Management feature will force them to wake up in the middle of the night to work, train, or study in eRepublik. Don't worry, you don't have to!

"you can spend some Gold on, for example, a cinema ticket that takes you to the movies for 2 hours, a nice restaurant where you dine for 3 hours, or even a day trip that takes 8 hours but returns your citizen as a very happy chap."
Ta-da! Here it is the new gold spending feature! I was sure of it ^^'
no more chicken!
wow
you can spend some Gold on, for example, a cinema ticket...
OH, WHAT A SURPRISE!? GOLD.
We could write a 10000000 articles about lana and gold, and you still don't care...
I don't consider PvP fights to be good. Leave us better walls!
can't wait to see!
i have a feeling that in the future we will see more erepublik servers with diferrent speeds. smomething like very fast world wars. if you have played other browser stategical games you know what i mean..
Will you let us plan traning previous day, some of us have coledge, work, etc. and can't be here at 00:00
Radiat, of course PvP is better, u have no idea how its like
kewl
more pictures!
First 5001
Sounds good
Player vs Players? If there's anyone about other side, what will happen? there's a wall that will decrese?
And about corrent stocks? I'll can set how I'll want my products or I'll lost everthing?
EPIC FAIL ADMINS .... AA flak canon or AA missles/SAM launchers are NOT artilery OMG Fail
looking gooooood.
bad, very bad.
i'm leaving soon.
don't make simulation of RL, make online games!
Player vs Players? If there's not anyone about other side, what will happen? there's a wall that will decrese?
And about corrent stocks? I'll can set how I'll want my products or I'll lost everthing?
first
Okey, many skills to chose etc.
But will it work the same as now that investing in ONLY ONE skill is most profitable?
"Again, the limitation is that you can't train the same skill twice in one day"
"You can train, for example, one skill for 8 hours, or spend 2 hours on each"
Only once but for different amount of time? Doesn't it mean the same as 4 times a day for two hours ?
just because they said gold doesn't nescessarialy mean it'll be costly, give them a chance ! It looks interesting, though
you can spend some Gold on, for example, a cinema ticket that takes you to the movies for 2 hours, a nice restaurant where you dine for 3 hours, or even a day trip that takes 8 hours but returns your citizen as a very happy chap.????????????? one more LANA? NICE!
Sounds AWSOME guys!
Waiting!
Voted \o/
I think whis LANA this is a big admin scam ... coz i have this felling that new military skills are not gona be in "numbers" (for example - helicopter skill = 25.54 but instead in leves .. like rookie, pro, uber) And what gonna heapen with current sterngt? I will be able to be uber in 3/4 classes? Yes thats what im worried bout ... once u reach "uber" no room to improve?
I like HOw new eRepublik will be. Do you really fun with this actual game? I had seem much articles with "eRepublik it's not FUN" "Makes anything better" and now you guys dont want a new vision? You're really weird! Dont wanna a better game, dont wanna changes! I'm playing eRepublik just hoping this updates, because actual eRepublik is a very boring game, sorry Admins but it's true. There's nothing to do!
KL
I see positeve point with updates: will be diferents careers . You wanna be a soldier or a dedicated work?
So... When are magic, Wizards and Orcs being implemented?
vot
wow
add new countries please! :0
nice!
pffffffff
Add Croatian LANGUAGE!
Everything is cool.
But i don't like cinemas, and other stuff that makes you happy... is it going to be expensive, like Lana?
Nice, nice, now we need to plan our 24h life here... ))
i think new economic module ruin Q1 companies and industry of lower quality.
"ccording to the company customization level, just like it is now with the quality level of a company. As a compensation, the ones working hard will receive not just more money, but also a greater increase of their profession skill! This is because of another improvement: the profession skill increase will depend on your actual productivity, just like in real life. Most likely you will want to work as healthy and happy as possible, to achieve the highest productivity."
so this mean's no one will join Q1,as other Q's 2-5 have better money,better experaince etc all things better
Sounds great, but still i have a feeling that there are much more ways for spending money will we earn only by working or having a company. I hope it will be balanced enought so that we can afford all of that. And I hope that training and studing will be free.
weew
nice!
What about lana?
What about current products, skills and strength?
do we have to spend gold for entertainment? you mean like lana??!!
besides that the other things sound great!
"...you can spend some Gold on..."
And after Lana, another way to force us to buy gold, gold, gold...
I like this game, but I hope in a big big big fail of those new modules. We'll be invaded by billions of headless chickens and you will only able to say "we apologize" "we're sorry" and so on.
o7
Not bad. At least is something new. I just want to know the formulas, specially tanks vs heli for example. If an heli always wins against a tank, or just star with disadvantage but can still win.
For when this new module approximately? Months, weeks, years?
intresting
I'm actually worried, this is like in football managers
HATE HATE HATE
"you can spend some Gold on, for example, a cinema ticket that takes you to the movies for 2 hours, a nice restaurant where you dine for 3 hours, or even a day trip that takes 8 hours but returns your citizen as a very happy chap."
It means we'll have one Lana in every department of the game. Great, just great...
nice
hahahahahaha that was nice one!! NOW DELETE THIS COMMENT ASWELL AND BAN MY ACC BECAUSE I SAID THAT DEVS CANNOT FIX BUGS AND U NEED MORE SKILLED ONES!! THE TRUTH IS HURTING U SO U TRYING TO AVOID IT??
nice !
admin propaganda
How will our current Strength and job skills translate into the new system? Shall we get the chance to distribute points ourselves?
