Preface
Why is this guide here?
In light of recent changes, I am updating Yang Wenli's guide. This is intended to be a specific guide for non-military civilian fighters with the following emphasis and goals:
1. DoD Orders, a MUST for all fighters.
2. A graphic walkthrough of Battlefield and other fighting related pages.
3. A collection of useful guides, tools, and newspapers about fighting and strategy.
4. A bigger sense of participation for all citizens who wants to fight.
Part I
10 Basic Facts / Rules about Fighting
1. DoD Orders is the official publication about where and when and how you should fight. Subscribe it and read/vote it everyday BEFORE you fight. If there are no current orders, it is best to wait until later.
2. You can start fighting when you reach Level 3.
3. Each fight will decrease your Wellness by 10.
4. You can't fight if your Wellness is below 40.
5. You can ONLY heal once a day AFTER you fight on that day. You'll recover 50 points of wellness lost from fighting, if you live in a state / region with 5-star (Q5) Hospital. Right now, Karnataka, California, and Florida are the only Q5 Hospital states in eUSA.
6. You can live in one state / region and fight in another state / region without traveling, but you can't use the hospital if you are not in that state. So, move to Karnataka if you want to maximize your contribution to our national defense.
7. Each fight will give you 2 Experience Points.
8. You can fight without weapons.
9. Each weapon can only be used ONCE. It will vanish from your inventory after you click Fight. If you have multiple quality levels (number of stars) of weapons, the highest level weapon will vanish first. Use them wisely.
10. Each battle lasts 24 hours by default. An hour in eRepublik equals to an hour in real life. However, the battle will automatically go overtime if the region is neither Secured nor Conquered at the end of 24 hours.
Part II
Fighting Walkthrough
Preparation:
1. Make sure you are in a Fortress state (Karnataka, California or Florida). If you do not live in one of those states, you will not be able to recover the wellness you lose from fighting.
2. Make sure you haven't fought and healed already today. You can only heal once per day, so if you fight after healing, you will not be able to recover the wellness you lose from fighting.
Step 1: Check your DoD Orders.
If you haven't subscribed it yet, do so. In a battle where one country is attacking another, you will automatically fight on the side of the eUS. However, in a resistance war, you must choose between fighting Green (for the defenders) or fighting Red (for the resistance). In this situation it is very important that you read the orders carefully, because if you press the wrong color button, you will be fighting against us. There are strategic regions to 'win' or 'lose' resistance wars, so don't blindly choose Green every time.
* The owner of this newspaper should be Department of Citizen Orders. Don't fall into enemy traps of fake DoD orders.
* The "Subscribe" button is on the top right corner of the article. If you subscribed to this paper already, the button will change into "Unsubscribe".
Step 2: Go to the Battlefield according to the order.
Step 3: If DoD Orders said something about a numerical goal, check the "wall" before you fight.
* The white number with red background is above the "Secure" line in "No Man's Land", in such case, the "wall" is above 18K. If the battle clock counts down to 00:00:00 at this time, the Defensive side will win.
* The white number with red background is below the "Conquer" line in "Underground", in such case, the "wall" is under -195K. If the battle clock counts down to 00:00:00 at this time, the Offensive side will win.
Step 4: Read your Fighting Result page carefully before you click "Fight Again", don't over-fight and screw your Wellness. Never fight more than 5 times.
Step 5: Click "Back to battlefield" (see above) and then the "Hospital" link to find your hospital after fighting 5 times.
* This time, the Battlefield page has the link to Hospital. It only appears after you fight.
* This page can also be accessed from your Profile -> your State. The "Heal" button only appears when you are able to heal.
Step 6: Click "Heal" (see above) to get healed, and that's the end of daily fighting. Do NOT fight again.
Part III
DoD Orders: IT'S A MUST and EVERY BIT COUNTS
This is the third time I emphasize DoD Orders to all of you.
Be advise
Last summer, our situation was desperate; we were down to only one state. Then, we turned the tide, regained all our states and retaliated in Asia.
Our enemies are tricky and "rich". They are trying every method they could to distract us from fighting the right battle at the right time, including fake ads, propaganda and DoD Orders imposture. So, remember: fight smart, fight together, and we will win; otherwise, we lose.
Part IV
Strategic Tips on Daily Fighting
1. Timing: Read the battle clock. Do NOT fight any battle within the first 6 hours after the battle starts.
* This battle clock in the circle shows that the battle lasted for about 18 hours and it will end in about 6 hours, so it is OK for you to fight here. If this clock reads greater than 18:00:00 (18 hours to the end of the battle), don't fight.
A "Withdraw" option is available to the president of both sides within the first 6 hours. It is a common tactic to withdraw in order to maneuver and maintain initiative. So, your damage could be wasted if you fought in the first 6 hours.
2. Max your damage with your limited budget. There are government programs to get free guns to new players, check on the eusforum for more information.
3. Remember, each weapon can only be used once.
For the best ROI (or damage per cost), do NOT buy any weapon higher than Q1. Fighting twice with Q1 weapons deals more damage than fighting once with a Q2 weapon.
4. Your fighting damage is a product of the following elements: Strength, Wellness, Weapon Quality, and Rank.
You'll get your Strength by Training, and Rank by accumulating total damage points. In your earliest days of fighting, it is encouraged to use at least 1 Q1 weapon a day so you deal significantly more damage and build up your Rank quickly.
5. Be proactive, keep learning.
The more you know about war mechanics, the more you know about the war from a bigger perspective, the more you'll feel involved, and that will make your eRepublik life way more interesting than 2 or 7 clicks a day.

FAQ
Q: My state does not have a Q5 Hospital, and I can't afford a Moving Ticket to Karnataka...
A: Request a ticket on the New Citizen Help form, and you will get a free Moving Ticket later.
Q: My Wellness is below 40. I can't fight...
A: Use the New Citizen Help form or contact the USA Welcoming Committee, send them a message and explain your situation, you will get some free gifts.
Q: I accidentally fight more than I should, my Wellness is below 40 and I can't heal anymore...
A: See above, and try not to make this mistake again.
Q: I can afford gifts, and I want to boost my Wellness. How do I use gifts to myself?
A: If you have an Organization account, this is easy. Donate your gifts to your Organization and have your Organization to "gift" it back to you. However, if you don't, you will need a gifting partner. USA Welcoming Committee can do this job, donate your gifts to them and they will "gift" it back to you. Keep in mind that this may not be done instantly, you may have to wait for a while.
Q: My home state does not have a Q5 Hospital, but I want to live in my home state...
A: I'm sorry. We all love our home states, but in this game, Q5 Hospital is a very expensive asset that needs to be deployed strategically and it takes congress votes to deploy. So, please adapt, and maximize your contribution to our country by moving to the Q5 Hospital state.
Q: My home state is under attack! I don't want my home state fall into enemies' hands...
A: None of us do. We just have to follow DoD Orders to best utilize our damage points. Our ultimate goal is to restore each and every of our states. We need everyone's participation, cooperation and dedication to achieve that goal.
Q: What else can I do to help our country's war against Phoenix.
A: There are actually a lot you can do. Log on our national forum: eUSforum.com and join the discussions, you will see a lot of ideas there. You can help spreading the DoD Orders from shout box, message your friends to keep them attentive and involved, donate small amount of Gold to our 1st Armored Division to help our elite tanking force, last but not the least, help spreading this guide to other people who might need it.
Q: I have other questions...
A: Feel free to ask.

DoD Orders: IT'S A MUST and EVERY BIT COUNTS
This is the third time I emphasize DoD Orders to all of you.
Be advise
😛our country is at war with Phoenix, a hostile alliance of warmongers. Each of the big countries of Phoenix - eHungary, eSerbia, eRussia, etc. is having equivalent population to ours and perhaps more Gold to throw into this war. Although we have a strong, dedicated group of eUSA Military and many allied countries, our country cannot win this war without the participation and cooperation from the majority of its population. That means you, eAmerican Citizens. That's what DoD Orders is for, and that's why the orders are titled as "
😉oD Citizen Orders".
Last summer, our situation was desperate; we were down to only one state. Then, we turned the tide, regained all our states and retaliated in Asia.
Our enemies are tricky and "rich". They are trying every method they could to distract us from fighting the right battle at the right time, including fake ads, propaganda and DoD Orders imposture. So, remember: fight smart, fight together, and we will win; otherwise, we lose.

I took the liberty of making a tinyurl for this article to make it easier to shout:

Nice work!
Generally a good article, I'd caveat that DOD Orders were the route by which the previous Government pushed the populus to efforts during the Invasion of the E-UK then did the dirty.
So whilst following it usually makes sense, bear in mind that it's politicians who are behind it and are perfectly likely to have you spending your resources one day then betray the people the next.
Q1 tickets are running about $4.50 per ticket, and Q1 gifts are running about $1.30, so if you save your money and fight sparingly, you can live where ever you want and still fight without losing a lot of wellness. We've waited for months on end for the eUSA government to build/rebuild more hospitals, but they refuse to budge. There are serious political interests who want to keep this from ever happening, so the comment in the FAQ about "Our ultimate goal is to restore each and every of our states. We need everyone's participation, cooperation and dedication to achieve that goal" is just a lot of hot air. But the explanation of fighting mechanics is otherwise sound and should be heeded.
"save your money and fight sparingly, you can live where ever you want" is not a winning strategy.
Spend your money, fight hard, fight often, and live in Karnataka so it costs more for our enemies to attack us - that's what winners do.
Go eUS!
