People have been complaining about how much gold they are getting. I am hearing rumors of
3 +- gold rewards and I think I heard about some poor player who got a 2.8ish reward. I personally have been getting pretty lucky, I have had three treasure maps so far, my first was a little below 5, second was a little higher then 5, and third was 5.99. There is different ways of looking at treasure maps and their results.
I'm glad it didn't happen to me
This is a common RL method of making your financial situation or any problem look "better". Look at it this way, you might have got only 4 gold from the treasure map but it is better then 3 and a heck of a lot better then nothing
Yay! I got to click a X and get gold
For some people, this is a small "perk" in their life. Though the time is kind of weird(we have modern helicopters and we are still hunting for gold on a pirate map), it is something new and if I can get gold for clicking on a X, then I will be glad for any amount of gold I get.
At least gold is still worth as much
This is my personal method, I think of erepublik as a teeter totter, if we have too much gold circulating, then gold would be worth less. Let's look at Splash_OS, Splash has 279 society builder medals, that means he has 1674 "friends" out there in the world. With the new module, the Splash will get 10% of the gold from each medal(treasure map) earned from the citizen Splash invited, this means he will be making "bank". Splash is now a "dough boy".
Basically all of the new monetary modules(Lana, 10%, treasure maps) "complete" each other

it's my barty and ill cry if i vant to
Yood cry too if it happened to yoooo.
Good article.
Well, I don't really see the point about citing Splash_OS as an example since he is the biggest exception of pretty much everyone in eRepublik.
Instead, read this article from SpellCat: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-cib-how-to-be-rich-on-erepublik-pt-en--1397470/1/20">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-cib[..]1/20
Nice article, anyways. Voted 🙂
Actually, that means he has 1674 'friends' 😉

Thanks 😃
Buck Roger is also another exception. He somehow paid to have his referral page as the 3rd result when you google "eRepublik". 😛
LOL! Did he really do that??? :-0 I want to do that 😁))
I've had six treasure maps, and none of them were over 5 gold. Kinda sucks 🙁
Yeah my reward for reaching level 19 was 3.6 gold!
>😞
the very minimum should be 5.
"With the new module, the Splash will get 10% of the gold from each medal(treasure map) earned from the citizen Splash invited, this means he will be making "bank". Splash is now a "dough boy". "
You only get 10% from the people who started playing AFTER the new system went into effect.
ah, poor Splash. Pyramid schemes usually suck when you get in too late, not too early.
After all the disatisfaction created by treasure maps, I was feeling good that I have never had the misfortune of earning one. This "heck of a lot better than nothing" concept may have ruined that smugness 🙁
since this treasure map fiasco came into effect, i hv always got less than 5 🙁 and I am going to whine & whine bz it sucks
and how many people did we invite to this game that are still playing? all the people I hv invited stopped playing so good luck with the rest of u!
Quote-"You only get 10% from the people who started playing AFTER the new system went into effect"
This is incorrect...as I get 10% of all gold purchases made by my friends before this was a rule.
My first couple treasure maps were for like 5.03 and then they started going for less and less. And today i level to 20 and i get a trasure map with 3.71 Gold in it. I bet for level 21 I scratch the X and i get a picture of the headless chicken flipping me off and i lose 5.6 gold!
Your turn will come Mr. Forder. So start making your protest sign now, while you still have the gold to buy materials.

3.75....the missing 1.25 went on producing the treasure map!
