New eRepublik Map
Dear citizens,
If we recall all great battles that shaped our world we can easily find a common characteristic: it all started with a map on a big table. Brilliant minds clustered around those tables and by studying the maps they decided what to do next. Great wars started with a map, great plans have been drawn over with a pencil. But maps are not just some sheets of papers, they are carrying the emotions of entire nation. Simply by looking at your country's map, you are connecting with your ancestors that built it, slowly, century after century. You feel proud because your country is so big, or you feel angry seeing a region belonging to an enemy state. The map of your country is your little universe, among many other universes, as important as yours, filled with its own stories, and nations.
That's why our e-world will soon have a brand new map, and we would like to share with you the main characteristics of it. Given the “in production” status, information presented bellow is subject to minor changes.
The map will include information about countries configurations, regions, population, resources, buildings and active wars.
It will update automatically. That is, if a battle ends now and the region changes its owner, the map will instantly update this information. There will be a short delay though, for fields which vary a lot, such as “population number." But the delay will not be longer than one day.
Visualization of any given country or of the entire world map will be just a click away. Also, you will be able to see the distribution of buildings around the world and their qualities. Those of you eager to fight will be able to see the active battles in the world just by looking at the map!
Another useful component is that you can choose to see the countries of the e-world which have an MPP with your country. Additionally, you will be able to filter in order to view trading embargoes proposed by your country. Knowing allies and enemies was never so easy!
Once launched, the new map will also keep track of e-world's history. This means that citizens will be able to see the former glory of their countries, or the “dark ages” few people may remember.
Speaking of the launch date, you won't have to wait too long: the new eRepublik map is expected to be available in about a month.
Here you can see a preview of how the map will look.
The second topic of this Insider is about you, the citizen. The most important thing for us is your satisfaction, and we want to measure it. We would be grateful if you would spare ten minutes to fill the questionnaire posted here. For an accurate measurement of your current satisfaction and to find out what we need to improve, plain answers are a must, so please keep this in mind. Once in a while we shall conduct such surveys, to see how your satisfaction changes with time. By participating in these surveys, you will receive better customer service in the future. Thank you for your time.
Regards,
The eRepublik Team

I can't wait for the new updates! Brilliant minds is all we need.
Congratulations guys!
Yes, long awaited feature = D
wow,that's some old map prevew you have there
By the way, that map and colours look very similar to a user made one? Who made that again, wasn't it the_mihai?
I bet gobbas map is better
it's about time
Wow that survey is pants. It doesn't even consider the fact that i've never needed to contact administration so won't know which way is best therefore most of the results you will receive will not reflect the truth. Try again, this time thinking about it as you type.
Great,at last!
Good job with the map, thank you
it's about time
cool, add algeria to the game and to this map please !
Great, I like maps.
egobba.de?
It would be the first useful update since 2008
I've used egobba.de since I was eborn. Funny how he was never mentioned in the article.
On a side note, enough 'improvements' with Plato, okay? Nobody cares.
Awesome
Euphonix
let see this map...
and lets wait for the citizenship
Give us free gold for filling out the questionnaire! lol
The survey isn't working for me, one of the radio buttons cancels out the other, so I'm stuck on the first page.
This is the best update since I started.
GREAT BUT TOO SMALL!! ;(
eggoba?
Looks good
Admins,
Appreciate all your hard work
Thank so much for the map!
gj admins
Fix the bugs!!!!!!!
Good job at trying to be eGobba.
@ hammybear: It seems to me that you have just used one of the channels mentioned in the survey to communicate with the admins - the eRepublik insider.
oh nice.
Why don't you give thanks to Gobba?
Shame on you admin!
Why would I feel proud of a big country? I feel proud because of our superiority in history.
Just give Gobba a beer and a hug, and move on to other aspects of the game.
eGobba anyone?
Híjaa
I really hope it's javascript-based. I hate using Gobba's map, Flash is so oldschool and laggy.
Yippi!!!!! Congratulations guys:D
Hipp Hipp Hurrá!
egobba.de rulles!
Nice
good job
Lol this map half year old, estonia not marked again on map.
Citizenship!
The survey is stupid. "Have you ever tried to contact the admins? NO." Next question is "how effective are these means of contacting the admins", and I CAN'T SKIP IT.
Aristoteles: And there's a part when you have to rate the contact channels, and you can't select the same rating! What if I think, all of them is "very high"?
Naisssss.
great!!!
keep the good work
@rale09 - flash isn't laggy, gobba's map is just poorly coded with regard to UI and general usability.
congrats.
good job
this is the worst survey i have ever seen please change the survey or the survey name they dont fit together also stupid that you have to answer a question even if you havent had to do it before so dont know
yay new map!
Delete MPP!
Go gobba!
GOBBA THEY ARE STEALING YOUR IDEA.
@Big Brother - You're right, but I think using javascript is just more modern. Look at google maps. And the compatibility is way better, there are devices without any Flash support on them.
The map will include information about countries configurations, regions, population, resources, buildings and active wars.
It will update automatically.
Great, voted!
voted
This is no better than eGobba.de
You guy's hardly had much work to do, just ask gobba nicely.
yes!
@ Big Brother: but he did manage to get that map up and running within notime
Move along eGobba, the pros are in town!
yeah,algarve will be finally ours!
Abt time,, gr8 job guyz!
and egobba?
Great, but fix one more military rank after FM!
i hope gobba has something to do with this map, if not, then this improvement sucks, since the time spent on it could be spent on the citizenship module....
egobba.de for official and supported erepublik world map!
I have nothing to do with this improvement nor was I informed or consulted
<a href="http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/new-erepublik-map-843402/1/all" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/new-[..]/all</a>
It saddens me to see that my work meant so much to the admins that they took the idea without a single word.
How would it differ from the great egobba.de ?
a map would be a great thing to have, but how about citizenship
Recognise Gobbas work! <a href="http://www.erepublik.com/en/forum/topic/105032/admins---please-reward-gobba-s-work-now-that-you-have-issued-your-own-map/1#post1129354" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/forum/topic/[..]29354</a>
hahahahaha
Gobba FTL? neaaah... eR FTL for working on sth that was already there
Sounds great!
ridiculous, it's the idea of gobba
Copyright Egobba
Cool, but old map in preview, Romania is so large in it
Gobba's Map!
lol Indonesia conquered Argentina :o
Great! Now let's PTO a country as comemoration!
Aw man! I've been waiting for this forever! I can't wait til it's up. It would've helped my n00b-self a lot when I joined. lol.
Best update in a long time.
The survey is faulted. I'm not going to rate something "very high" just because it's not as bad as the other options. It still stinks. Getting remotely decent answers from the admins in a timely manner is impossible. Only other players are worth a diddley on that. And if it's technical, forget it.
I just read the first sentence like Hey Dead Citizens.
Anyway, citizens of what ? after citizenship will be implented we can speak about citizens, now we can speak about hey: who wants to be next bit** of Hungary ?
Copyright Gobba.
Good job admins for not giving him credit for doing what he has already done.
new map looks great
cool,finaly new map
it's about time to do something decent.
The new map should be awesome!!
i wonder what gobba's map is for! oh yeah thats right, to make the eRepublik map jealous
o/ eGobba.de
noce job with the map guys!!
it seems great, i can´t stand to see it!
niiice, cant wait
i don't get it. Gobba created good, effective and clear map, which works fine already for quite a long time. Wouldn't it be easier just to contact him and help him develope and integrate his project into eRep ?
<a href="http://www.egobba.de" target="_blank">http://www.egobba.de</a>
There are much more "burning" issues... Thanks anyway for your effort.
If question answered 'never contacted to administration team', how can i answer to questions of type 'how it works'? lol
@hammybears: very true
and what about citizenship? (wink)
About bloody time we got a new map, the current one isn't very helpful.
Perhaps year 2010 we will see the promised features 2007.
Awesome
The only reason Gobba's would not be used is if this is not flash-based. it would actually be useful for people with phones, for example. but then again, there is a lot of other stuff, admins should have been working on.
Gobba, you still rock for doing this for so long.
i'll fill those questionnaire only if you give me some reward.
Well, what you are trying to develop, it alredy exists. Check it here: <a href="http://www.egobba.de/" target="_blank">http://www.egobba.de/</a>
hurry up guys, make citizenship, before someone else is doing it before you!
