# Summarized guide for newcomers

Day 2,363, 12:17 Published in USA Georgia by ALEX KING
Dear Comrades,
My republik name is Sniper80 and I have been playing since March 06, 2014. This a short story about how to start a game based on my short experience which have been provided by valuable support and information by my great comrades in eUS. Let's begin with a short story of my first experience in erepublik. I opened an account in February, and went to the battle field and tried to help eUS in their wars. I was happy by the completing the missions and leveling up. Then I noticed that my damage in battle field in comparison to other soldiers was nothing. Afterwards I received a welcome message and some guides for newcomers. If you are a new player and by any chance have not read this valuable information(
How to Succeed in eUSA
), please consider it as the first priority. Story short, I found that every single move I did was wrong. Can you believe I sold my valuable gold to buy level 1 & 2 weapon to fight for eUS with strength of 5????? I would expect a new joke will come up soon about this. I opened another account to start fresh but both account were permanently banned due to erepublik policy.
OK here is my advice to new players:
1- Use your gold to upgrade your training center. There is a monthly discount on building upgrade gold cost (45😵 which will last for two days. Your goal at the first six month will be to collect gold (by selling your supply in market and buy gold. Please ask your MU to provide you with their regulations as you might not have the permission to sell your supplies), and wait till the discount is available then upgrade your training centers. Upgrade your training centre # 1 &2 first, because they will increase your strength faster and you will get super soldier medal (+ 5 Gold) in shorter duration.
2- Become a party member, You can find the top 5 parties here: US Parties Currently FED party has a program called HAMMER which gives 0.5 gold per day to new players who do not fight. Other MUs have different programs which might prohibit players from selling the supplies in market as they are given in order to cause damage to our enemies.
3- Become a military unit member, DO NOT fight more that required for being able to register in a military unit and then do the daily orders until you reach level 21. Trust me do not fight any more.
4- Get a job in your party, There is always need for help somewhere.
5- Get a mentor from your party. That will considerably help you to save time and avoid mistakes.
6- The Military unit will send you to work for their supplier. Get the job and you will be paid by weapon and food supply instead of cash. This is a wise choice.
7- Work at the assigned company and don't forget to do your training every day. You shouldn't miss event one single day of training. There is a 1-5 strength bonus after completing working and training every day at your home. Do not forget to collect it.
8- Apply for the free supply programs that has been provided by different organization. These program can boost your income. The following links will guide you to the application form.
*** [DoE] Personal Missions provides considerable amount of money and supply specially for the first apply.
Read the info: (IRC: /j #eUSA-DOE )Read the info, Then apply: Application form

*** Bank Up 2 Strength Up: ( gives 1.6 Gold every week if you fill the form every single day and don't fight)(Application form)

9- Create an account in Voter clubs. It pays 500-700CAD every week.
10- Ask for help when you need it for upgrade the training center. There is quite number of gentlemen in this game who will lend you gold. Remember that you can receive only 10 Gold per day, so if you need more than 10 Gold ask theme in advance.

By doing proposed steps you will manage to collect around 50 gold per month. With a little help you will be able to upgrade all your training centers to level 4 in 4-5 months. It takes around 9-10 months before you become strong enough to fight as a master in the game. Then you can start making companies by your gold income or help other newcomers to grow faster. Just remember yourself when you started, and as a result helping others will be easy.
I prepared this summarized guide for beginners, and hope it can help them to become stronger in a shorter duration . I would like to thank DOE for creating such an opportunity for us to start our newsletter. I will post funny comics and caption contest in future issues and hope to get proper support from my comrades.
