Day Two

Every day you log in you’ll see something like this at the top of your homepage. It’ll help remind you to work, train and get your daily reward. These activities take 2 minutes and gain you 5 xp everyday, helping you to level up.


Underneath your Daily Tasks will be the battles available to you. The President will let you know of priority battles through the Campaign of the day or you can check out the latest military orders from the Department of Defence.
The little tick lets you know which country you’re helping.
The Good news: Each fight gains you 1 xp (given if you defeat the enemy soldier)
The Bad news:: Each fight uses up 10 health. But you can use food to return health.

- Click Fight button underneath the Military Campaign to go to the battlefield
- Defeat 1 enemy soldier. (This should take 2 or 3 hits on the red fight button)

Mission 2: Food is scarce

Select food -> then the loaf furthest to the left
Spend all your IEP currency on as much food as you can afford
(you should be able to afford about 8 or 9 pieces of +2 food)
Complete Mission 2 and claim your reward (+10 Health and +2xp )
Use the blue button on the left navigation bar repeatedly to eat your food and replenish your health.



Day Three
Do your Daily Tasks (Work, Train & Daily Reward)
Congratulations you’ve reached Level 5!
A window should pop up letting congratulating you and rewarding you with some gold.
- You can’t do much with the gold yet. Once you’ve reached level 12 you can exchange it for local currency (IEP) and buy food, weapons,etc. Buying a newspaper or company are other options open to you at later levels.
- There’ gold in them there hills : You get a gold reward, when you reach level 5, 10, 15, 20 or higher.

Day Four
- Do your Daily Tasks (Work, Train & Daily Reward)
- Your economic skill has increased with every day you’ve worked. You started as an apprentice and have now surpassed that category so you deserve more cash for your work.
1. Either PM your employer ask for a raise or
2. Resign your current Job & Check the Job Market for a 1 star company to work for.
Remember to ask for a raise or get a better paid job whenever you upgrade your economic skill. You’ll be informed after working if you’ve upgraded

Congratulations! You’ve got to grips with the basics and survived 😃
Soon enough you’ll be able to take on some more challenging missions:
Mission 5: Offense is the best defense (Have a weapon in your inventory.)
Mission 6 : A future hero (Take down 5 opponents)
Mission 7 : Working Days (Work for 5 days in a row.)
Mission 8 : Super Soldier (raise your strength by 250 points with Daily training)

Here’s a sneak peak at the treats that are opened up to you as you continue to gain xp everyday. Remember : you can always fight to increase the speed of leveling. Just check if you can afford enough food to bring you back to full health again. Every fight uses up 10 health.


Level 7 : Change Location
After roughly seven days of playing you should reach this level (40xp) and be able to move region. Ideally you should move to the Cork & Kerry Region as its our strategic region. You’ll need to buy a Q1 moving ticket before moving location. Moving uses up 5 health but some of it is replenished depending on the type of ticket.


Level 9 : Your own Newspaper
After roughly eleven days (60xp) the option of purchasing a newspaper opens up to you. Having a newspaper allows you express yourself ingame. Do anticipate some negative comments from certain grumpy citizens but there’ll be many more voices of support for your new endeavor. This Tutorial focuses on how to buy your newspaper and gives help on how to add some formatting. For inspiration on what to write check out the news already in existence, maybe there’s a gap in the market! I recommend reading this article for tips on best informing yourself of world events in the media


Level 10 : Voting
After roughly twelve days (70xp) you can vote in:
Country President elections (on the 5th of each month) ,
Party President Elections (on the 15th), and
Congress Elections (on the 25th).
You receive 5xp for voting. Try to read the Irish media and Forum to inform yourself of the candidates stance before voting.


Level 12 : Selling gold for currency
Once you reach 90xp (round 16 days in) you’ll get full access to the monetary market. If you purchase gold at any point before this level you’ll be granted immediate access. You’ll now be able to sell the gold, which you’ve received from medal achievements and leveling up, on the monetary market. Or you can buy IEP, with which you can purchase Food, Weapons, Moving Tickets, etc.


Level 12 : Starting a Company
After about 16 days (90xp) you’ll have the option to purchase/start up a company. This is a fairly complicated area of the game however so please read up on the game mechanics before investing. Many people lose alot of gold trying to learn on the fly. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice from elderly members of the community before starting.
This article is a good starting point from which to learn what you’ll need to know. Existing companies can only be bought in the country where you have citizenship. Creating a company costs 20g.


Level 13 : Creating a Political Party
Round about 18 days (100xp) after you’ve started out in the new world this option becomes available. Creating a party costs 40g and isn’t to be entered lightly. Unless you’ve got a large number of citizens who support you, the party could easily fall into the hands of someone else at the next Party President elections. In a little while you’ll be able to run for party president of an existing political party. That course of action is preferable for most citizens without giant wads of gold to be flinging about!


Level 16 : Candidate for the Dáil (Congress)
Once you hit 180xp (within about 34 days) you can start your political career by placing yourself for election to the Dáil (Congress). Make sure you’re in one of the top 5 partys or you won’t appear on the ballot. Being active on your party forum and our national forum should help increase your chances of election. Inform yourself of what’s going on nationally and release a manifesto through your newspaper to help create awareness. You’ll receive 20xp , a Congress Medal and some gold if you are elected. You’ll also be able to decide on a number of laws affecting your country. You can make 2 law proposals over the course of your term.


Level 17 : Candidate for Party President
Roughly 44 days (230xp) into the game you can run for Party President. It costs 2 gold to run, which goes to the party treasury. Party presidents manage congressional candidates within their party aswell as nominate/support candidates for Country President. It’s advisable that you become active on the party forum and/or Irish media before running.
To find your party forum goto “My Places”->”Party” and on that page click on this symbol underneath the party name.


Level 18 : Candidate for Country President
Around 58 days (300xp) after being e-born you get to have a shot at the Country Presidency A successful campaign may be difficult at such a “young” e-age but is certainly possible provided you’ve shown your strengths sufficiently to the nation up to this point. On being successfully elected you receive a Country President Medal, some gold and 50xp.

Note: XP gained from fighting/voting/elections will reduce the estimated dates above


Some ways to get a gold reward are to:
- reach level 5, 10, 15, 20 or higher.
- work 30 days in a row (Hard worker medal)
- increase your strength by 250 (Super Soldier medal)
- get elected to congress (Congress Member medal)

[Recap of basic concepts]

Work: (Daily Living : Career Tutorial)
- Earns you currency
- Increases your economic skill
- Gains you +2xp
- Uses up health equal to the company star level (quality level)

Economic Skill:
- Increases when you work
- Increase related to your level of Health

Health: (a tutorial in Health Management)
- Affects your Economic skill increase
- Affects the wage you can demand due to its affect on productivity
- Affects how many times you can fight

Training:
- Increases your strength
- Uses up 1 health
- Gains you 2xp

Fighting:
- Gains you 1xp per fight
- Damages the enemy and adds influence to help your side in the battle
- Gains you Military Rank points
- Each fight uses up 10 Health

Factors affecting your overall influence
- Strength (Train your strength to improve your influence on a battle)
- Weapons (Increase your influence by a certain percentage but get used up)
- Military Rank (Military rank points increase with every fight, Higher Rank means more damage)
- Food
More food means you can fight more and increase your overall influence. Everybody can replace up to 300 health per day. After this the ultra-wealthy will purchase Health Packs which give +10 Health and cost 0.5 gold. For us regular citizens it’s best to stick to food as it’s cheaper and more cost effective.
