The Pathways - A New DoE Special.
By: Macro's the Black



Life is full of choices ; and eRepublik is not all that different. In fact, you'll find it is very similar. Who do I join? How do I make money? What is this , and what is that? Very easy questions. However ; everyone in awhile there is a fork in the road and you'll have to pick which way you go. Here's a handy road map for your voyage, Sojourner.


"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
- Robert Frost



The Path of War - The First Stepping Stone


Ah ; brave warrior of lore, you have come once again to raise your banner, to wipe your foe clean off the map. But how dost thy plan to cut your enemy down if you've no weapons, food or men behind you? Ambition is a godsend, but you must put strategy and logic behind it. How do you become the mighty God of War you desire to become?

Starting off on yourself would be the key. Serbians aren't all that hard to kill, but you can't just hop in the fight ; you'll run out of food and weapons before you know it! You have to have either an army behind you ; or a fief of your own - or maybe both!



First off; what do you have at your disposal? It is great to know what you can make yourself ; before you go off to battle. For most of you ; your land consists of the following buildings.



These are what we like to call "The Starter Buildings". Plato was generous enough to give us all three farms and a Q1 Food Company. At a minimum, this will provide you with twenty fights a day. So ; you will need to increase your food production to increase fights per day! There are several ways to get more wellness per day!





|Upgrading Your Companies!|



If you believe joining a military unit is overrated, this section is for you. You are more then likely a rugged individualist who wishes to be self-sufficient and off the government dole. Well, that’s good! It’s OK to be different.

Before we embark on this difficult journey:
a) Realize that the average military unit gives out around (800w) per day.
b) Some even include tanks or multiple food fill-ups.
c) You won’t get the same support and damage this way.

The images above are the basic icons you will need to know for this section. Wellness is how much health you have ; and is used each time you work, train or fight. 10 Wellness is used per action. Working earns 2xp per 10 wellness and Fighting earns you 1xp per 10 wellness.

For this plan to work ; you will want to double your production.

For you to double the wellness per day you already produce (200w), you will need to purchase a Fruit Orchard (2000$ + a plot of land), and another Grain Farm (750$ + a plot of land). You will also need to purchase another Q1 Food Company (10g + a plot of land). Once this is done ; you should be up and running! You’ll be producing 2x as much food per day!

|Joining a Military Unit|



Go with the flow, join the crowd - the water is fine. You are not a salmon. Good. Swimming upstream is a pain anyways. Join one of these military units and start developing your rank right away - at no cost! Get into tax-free communes ; get free weapons and food. You name it ; these MU’s have it.

There isn’t too much to say about Military Units ; they all benefit their members, they all help the United States hit damage ; and well - the only thing that you need to do is find a group that fits your tastes.

Before we embark on this oh-so-easy journey:
a) Realize that you will have to work in a commune.
b) You will be tax exempt and “paid” with supplies ; and those supplies must be used towards the appropriate orders given by your Commanding Officer.




All of the pictures above are the rewards of joining just about any military unit. This will help you conquer those Serbians and destroy villages. That's what everyone enjoys right? Below are some suggested military units!


United States Armed Forces
This military unit is the official military unit of the United States of America. That being said ; it also has a lovely community. You get excellent supplies and a variety of other goodies. On a side note ; I am in the USAF; and I'd love for you to join ; as some of the greatest minds in the nation reside in our unit!
