Boot Camp: Basic War-Fighting for New Citizens
Eugene Harlot
The eUSA has seen a population boom and many new citizens want to know how they can fight in support of America. Below is the simplest, most direct information for raw recruits and untrained civilians to support the American War effort.
1. Know yourself.
You must be a minimum health of 40% to fight in a battle.
2. Know your weapons.
Weapons increase your damage. The higher the weapon, the higher the damage increase. YOU DO NOT NEED A WEAPON TO FIGHT. You can fight bare-handed in any battle and every bit helps the American war effort.
To fight, go to the active war page. Look for wars that have active battles and click on details. Then click on "Go to Battlefield" This will take you to the battle page. Click the big "FIGHT" button in the middle of the screen.
EACH FIGHT USES ONE WEAPON. So be smart and buy what you can afford.
Each fight reduces your wellness by 10 points. Each fight gives you 2 exp.
But most importantly, fighting, even once, gives you access to a hospital, if one is in your region.
3. Know your region.
Before considering to fight, know the war resources available in your state. Next to your name in your citizen profile is the region of the eUSA where you reside. Clicking on that link will give you vital statistics for your home state. The only one of consequence for this discussion is that you know if your region has a hospital and what quality that hospital is.
4. Know your hospital
Hospitals heal war wounds (loss of wellness) on the same server day as any fighting. You recover 10 wellness for every level of quality of the hospital you use. YOU CAN ONLY USE A HOSPITAL ONCE PER DAY. If the region you reside in has no hospital, move to Florida. The highest quality hospital in the eUnited States is in Florida. It is a Q5, meaning it recovers 50% health. A Q4 heals 40, Q3 heals 30, etc. The more you can heal, the more you can fight.
IMPORTANT TIP FOR NEWBS: You don't need to lose 50% health to get 50% health from the Q5 hospital. If you are at 40% wellness and fight once, you will have 30% wellness. You can use the Q5 hospital to increase your wellness 50 points to 80%.
HOW TO USE A HOSPITAL After you have fought to the level you want to heal, then go to the battle page and under the fight button is a "Hospital" button, this will take you to your region's hospital. Next to the word "Hospital" is a small blue "Heal" button. Press this to use the hospital. Alternatively, you can reach the hospital by going to your region page by following the link for your region next to your name on your profile page.
5. Know your limits
Each battle lasts 24 hours of server time. So you should be able to fight twice in a battle. You are more effective (if you are lower wellness) to use the first day to increase your wellness and the second day to fight fully.
DO NOT "OVER-FIGHT" Example: Day 1 you are 50% health, you are in Florida. You fight once. You are 40% health and you heal to 90%. DO NOT FIGHT AGAIN THAT DAY. Start Day 2 at 90% health and fight 4 times down to 50% and then heal again. You are at 100%. In two days, you increased your health by 50% and you also increased your productivity. Do not fight more after you have healed.
6. Know how to fight smart.
Always Train first. Training only takes of 1 wellness and increases your strength which increases damage. Then Fight. Then Heal and then Work. You will increase your wellness, your strength, your damage and your productivity.

Vote it up, maximize your potential, maybe one day you can grow up to be big and stong Ass-kicking machines like John Jay and General Harlot.
Aren't you more effective if you are higher wellness?
This is my rifle, this is my gun. This is for fighting, this is for pwn.
Awesome, oorah
lmao the guy from Mail Call! I loved watching that show
What is your malfunction, Pyle? Yes, Gunny was the host of Mail Call. But THAT shot is from Full Metal Jacket.
Mail Call? How 'bout Full Metal Jacket? Absolutely BADASS!!
Question...what advantage is there for having a weapon. If you have a weapon and need one for each fight, that can be kind of expensive...which sort of defeats the purpose of a cheap way to gain wellness
Also, do you have to move to Mexico to fight...or can you do everything from your home state if you desire?
Oorah
Well and simply done. Timely too.

eoooyyy voooyyy, ok compare that you are at 50 wellness is it better for you to work and work and work and work and work, buying food and gifts at quite expensive prices until you are 100 or buy 1 weapons, fight in a war then heal straight to 100?
Which one do you think costs more expensive?
For a normal citizen if they cannot fight 5/6 times a day then that's ok, i am not really expecting them to. That's why we have a specialized military.
"Question...what advantage is there for having a weapon. If you have a weapon and need one for each fight, that can be kind of expensive...which sort of defeats the purpose of a cheap way to gain wellness"
If you are low-wellness and you are fighting for the sole purpose to increase your wellness, then there is no advantage to buying a weapon. Fight bare-handed and heal. Weapons increase your damage amount meaning you increase your in-game rank, meaning you do more damage and are a more effective fighter. If you are lower strength, rank, wellness or level, then these should not be your primary concern.
"Also, do you have to move to Mexico to fight...or can you do everything from your home state if you desire?"
Know your region. In a conflist between nations (not a Resistance War), you fight from your home region. If you are in Maine or Wisconsin or Alaska, you do not need to move to another region or to Mexico to fight. Tho, I would encourage you to move to Florida if you have the means as it has the highest Q Hospital. See above for the advantages of that.
For the record, for any n00bs that don't know (as I'm a n00b that does know) you don't HAVE to move to Florida to fight. You don't HAVE to move there *before* you fight.
You can gain 50 wellness points from the hospital in Florida by moving there before or after you fight. As Harlot pointed out, you can fight in our upcoming struggle from anywhere in the US, even Alaska!
If you're not just after wellness, but perhaps adding some extra damage (and by that get closer to the next rank), use Q1 weapons.
Unarmed you do 50% damage, with a Q1 weapon you do 110% damage (120 Q2 etc). Obviously there's a massive boost, if you can afford it, get some Q1s
ok deh gan 😃
It told me before that transportation would be provided. Now its telling me that i need to buy a ticket. Whats going on?
If you live in the US in a region with a low-level hospital and want to use a high level hospital to heal, you need a moving ticket (purchase at market) to move to a region/state with a better hospital.
hmmm then what are the advantages of staying in a state other than Florida? Assuming that we are not at war.
Because from what i can tell, it doesn't make any difference if you are staying at Alaska or Florida (other than the Q5 hospital).
Then why don't everyone in eAmerica move to Florida?
@Lavender - Not that this has anything to do with war-fighting, but...
Not everyone is a frequent war fighter. And the other big part of the social game is politics. And you have to be a resident of the State you are running for Congress for. So the reason to stay in Arkansas or Minnesota or wherever is so you can get involved in politics there and run for a seat.
Other than that, no eRep reasons, but people have RL connections to their home states. Also, we need populations in each of these states so that foreign powers don't send infiltrators into our Congress and the effectiveness of defense systems is related to the population of the region.
ah i see i see. that helped clarify things. thanks!
