A brand new world
Benevaboy
Good morning citizens of eRepublik,
My birth took place on November 16th 2020 in Arnhem, Eastern Netherlands. It was after a long slumber of 12 years that I was reborn. A brand new world was laid out in front of me. So much had changed, it felt as if I was reborn 50 years later instead 12.
So I started out by getting a job at frisia ltd. and fighting for my country, eNetherlands in the Dutch Armed Forces. I progressed through the ranks and felt I was getting stronger.
However, so much is still unknown. What companies do I build and how many of them? Can I hire employees or should I wait. How is my currency and gold best spent? So many questions I have yet to answer. Any help is always welcome in this regard as I grow up to be a contributing citizen of this society we have here.
My intention will always be to form alliances. Not to defend against enemies, but to contribute to a peaceful and collaborating ecommunity.
With regards,
Benevaboy

Start with some small food companies first, because you need to eat food to recover your energy. Also to produce food, you need food raw materials, so have some of those. Ideally Quality 4 companies for raw materials, the cheaper ones are not worth it. Do not hire employees at this moment, it is better to wait 🙂 . Spend Gold and currency on building those factories, and also upgrading your Training Grounds (😛lace, where you get Strength).
I am sure your government will tell you more, but these are just basics, told to you by one of Dutch former politicians 🙂 .
As a new player, strenght isn't that important, gold is better spent on Energy Centers, to have more available hits to fight in air battles and thus rank faster.
Also, Benevaboy, make sure to claim the permanent +130 Energy Center in the Amazing Journey challenge.
The basic Training Ground is one of the best return-of-investment option for new players - besides, the government of Netherlands offers (or atleast offered in the past) monetary help to upgrade it 🙂 .
You can buy energy centers as well as companies during black friday when they are on discount!
Besides these tips, also consider investing cc in houses, at least Q1 and Q2 in the near future. It gives you more to fight (as Manel pointed out) in air battles, and also allows you to work twice (or thee times with a Q2 too) a day. The salary can be used to convert to gold via the Monetary Market.
Avoid building companies that do not allow you to work as manager
Welcome back Benevaboy!
Thansk for all the advice guys! I will try my best and see what black friday has in store for us 🙂
