Welcome everyone, to the first ENGLISH article of the Ministry of Education. This is the first of a chain of educational-economic articles starting from the lowest and most basic stuff for rookies to the highest level of game mechanics analysis for real connoisseurs.

IMPORTANT: This is the article for the English speaking community of Cuba. The original article in Spanish can be found here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/gu-a-de-econom-a-b-sico-moneda-oro-y-ofertas-2499265/1/20

Please avoid stupid negative comments like ''No Spanish, no vote'' in the comment section or I will summon my Cthulhu to devour your petty souls.

due to the extensive preparations being made as there are few staff in the Ministry, which were undervalued month after month for their zero or almost zero activity.
- Sir Cocodrile

This article is dedicated to those few poor non-multi newbies who are lost in their early days, giving advice and steps to create a healthy and strong account.

And also: DISCLAIMER: The following content is written by Sir Cocodrile
this is merely a translation.

OK are we cool? May I proceed?



What probably troubles all of you is: How to get money? This question has been asked a few times while serving my tenure as Minister of Education. Undoubtedly the desire for wealth, or at least possession of insurance for a rainy day, is something noticeable in our society and something that should concern us, and in fact, we are concerned.

In the first instance we should distinguish two types of money, gold and currency. Each serves for different things and each is achieved by different methods. But both are important for the proper function of the account.




Gold

What is gold?
Gold is the most important thing you can have, it is a special type of currency, much more valuable than the currency. While this provides more advanced features than the currency itself, you could give.

Why is gold useful?

Gold serves mainly for the purchase of factories, Energy Centers and Commodities for some companies.
Besides this, you can improve existing buildings and make them more effective and powerful, such as factories or Training Grounds.
Besides that, Training Grounds can be operated by paying gold.
With gold you can also get objects that provide various improvements, such as spare bazooka, energy bars, training contracts ...

How to get gold?
Gain Medals: Medals will usually provide 5 gold each, but these are the most important and the most easily gained.

HARD WORKER - TRABAJADOR DESTACADO - (HW)



You get to work for 30 days in any business whether consecutive or not.

SUPER SOLDIER - SUPER SOLDADO - (SS)



Is obtained each time the strength is increased by 250 points.

-Completing Assignments: There will be some mini-missions, which will serve as a tutorial, which can reward you with a certain amount of gold. Nevertheless, the number of missions, which reward you with gold is negligible.

- Level Up: For each level you up, get 1 gold; levels are automatically uploaded obtaining the necessary experience.



Currency


What is the currency?

The currency is the current money a person can handle.
Each country has its own currency, in Cuba, for example is referred to as CUP, while other countries such as Argentina and Spain's ARG is ESP. Anyway, all these coins, which have the same value each other are commonly referred to as cc.

How to use the CC?

The CC is mainly used to purchase items, the same way as gold, with CC you can buy various types of companies. In addition, thanks to this you can buy food, weapons, materials ...


How is CC gained?

-Working For someone else: Al gross salary will be deducted the equivalent in taxes, which will go to the State; what remains is the net salary, which will go to your account citizen when the task of working is performed. - To get a job go to the labor market, and choose a paid job.

ATTENTION: When a job is accepted you can not pick another up within three days.

-On the market: To relist an item, you must first go to the store and at the bottom select the object you want to sell.

Tip: Before selling a specific object, observe the prices of the other offers for sale in the market.

- Medals: Some medals will provide 1,000 cc each.

FREEDOM FIGHTER - LUCHADOR POR LA LIBERTAD- (FF)



Obtained by fighting in resistance battles for the side of the resistance and provided that the region is released.
Depending on the number of the medal, the criteria to get it will vary;.

TRUE PATRIOT - VERDADERO PATRIOTA - (TP)



You get it by fighting battles for the country where your citizenship lies. In this case it is Cuba. In Cuba's direct battles.
This medal varies according to your criteria and the number of medals. Following this table (in Spanish, but I believe everyone can understand a bunch of numbers):



-Completing Assignments: There will be some mini-missions, which will also serve as a tutorial, which can reward you with a certain amount of cc.



Get a job and work.
The first thing to do is go to "My Business" in "Companies".

Then, being unemployed will appear like this:



You just have to click on "Get a job" that will take you to the Job Market, then you must choose only one of the jobs offered.



To work you have to just click on the green button that conducts ''work''; by doing nothing, you will be given your salary.



If you want to quit your current job, you only need to press the grayish button that says "Quit job" as long as three days have passed since the job was accepted. - If you have worked, even if you give up, you can take up the next day to return to work.




Offers

Since I am addressing the issue of gold and cc, I think it is appropriate to mention that the game offers regularly sales, so that, we can save this gold and this cc that you worked hard to get.

The most common deals are those that talk about a discount on improving training camps and factories. These being 45%.



What follows, are those announced reductions in the game, in transactions with real money to buy items or improvements. These are: purchasing 50% more gold and 30% discount on the candy bars.



There are also discounts for the purchase of various items that will help us achieve greater profit. The most famous and expected, is the reduction of training contracts, which can be purchased for gol😛 a discount on the use of training camps by 50% or 90%.



Also there are special offers that appear on special dates, such as the infamous Black Friday, where huge discounts appear.



Or on the anniversary of eRepublik. (November 24)





IMPORTANT TIP - WIN GOLD INVESTING IN TRAINING CAMPS

Given that gold serves to improve buildings, the most logical move would be to improve training camps with gold.
Do it when there are deals to spend the least amount of gold possible.

The most important thing to improve would be the free boot camp, and bring it to the level of upgrade 4 (Q4). Because, it would get 5 points to get 20 strength daily.

Also, to expedite the process, it is advisable to collect the reward for training and work in order to get 1 or 5 points of extra strength.

This acquisition will accelerate the Super Soldier medal, which grants the person 5 gold for every time 250 strength is gained.

That's it, training gives you gold, investing on training gives you gold faster on a regular basis, and reinvesting with gold to full train will give you bigger profit long term.

It is preferable to optimize the free field first, before upgrading any other, then this would be desirable to improve the second to maximum.
And start training in when this is fully upgraded for maximum benefit.
