The Everyday American

Fellow Americans,

Now more than ever, fighting to your full potential is extremely important. With weapon prices at record lows, now is the time to stock up and prepare yourselves to fight for America and our allies. For battle instructions be sure to subscribe and watch for The Department of Defense Orders. Fighting efficiently, armed and informed is imperative to our success. You can find DoD orders here:

The US training Division is currently being revamped and is not accepting recruits at this time. Several Militias have sprung up to fill this need and if you are interested, you can contact George Barker [Eagles Militia] or Josh Frost [Seal Team 6] for enlistment and weapon supplies.

If you are fighting solo, be sure to arm yourself when you can. Fighting 5 times with Q1 weapons is more effective damage wise than fighting once with Q5 weapon and bare handed the other four daily fights.

If you are new and/or do not understand how to maximize your fighting potential, here is all you need to know.

~Fighting Efficiently~

-You must have wellness above 40 and be level 5 to fight.

-If you are below 40 wellness, you should seek out a gifting partner, work at a Quality 1 [1 star] company, and eat higher quality food.

-Move to a region with a Quality 5 Hospital, Q5 hospitals allow you to gain 50 wellness points after you battle. The United States is currently home to two, located in Florida and California.

-Once you are at or slightly above 40, fight ONCE and heal.

-You can only heal once per day, so stop fighting after one fight, heal up to 80 wellness. The next day, you fight down to 50 wellness, heal and you have attained 100 wellness.

-Once you have attained high wellness you can fight 5 times per day and maintain your wellness via healing.

-You will lose 10 wellness per fight.

-Never allow your wellness to drop below 45 or 50 when fighting.

-Your fight damage is based on your strength level, wellness level, and weapon quality. The higher the better. Your fight damage equals the amount of points you gain for your citizen's rank. Each fight yields 2 xp toward your citizen's level.
