How NOT to go About War
(Opinion) Yesterday (11/26/16) was NOT great
OK, that’s a controversial title if I’ve ever made one. What made it not great? We saved Kalimantan didn’t we? Well we also lost Sumatra and we did what might have been the most botched attacked on Sulawesi, doing it at the same time as the 9PM mass attack on Kalimantan. To top if all off, after 24 hours of fighting, we lost it in airborne combat. Talk about a Bungle.
Wait we weren't supposed to have two battles at the same time woah.
OK, time for the real stuff.
So many of you may be thinking, how in fact, should I go about war? How do I beat people up? The answer?
You don't.
Stop it.
Stop clicking the fight button.
STOP IT NOW.
There are three things that are related to fighting in eRepublik, strength, rank, and XP.
Strength
Strength linearly determines your influence. That means the more strength you have, the more influence. Now, that may not seem like much, but here's the kicker: You don't need to have a higher XP to have a higher strength. Why does this matter? Did you remember seeing those Roman numerals in the battle screen? That's your division, when you level up to 35 you move to division 2, but all your combat stats stay the same. The only thing that changes is that your fellow fighters are Sportacus and you're not even Robbie Rotten, you're the creepy puppet-kid.
^ You
So how do you increase Strength? Go and train every single day. Use your gold to upgrade your Training Grounds FIRST. Keep this in mind, when you get 250 strength you get 5 gold from the Super Soldier Medal, so if you can get more strength from your places, you can get more gold, faster. Do NOT train in any Gold costing Training Grounds until they're fully upgraded, they are all inefficient beforehand.
Rank
Rank increases with certain amounts of opponents killed. Each rankup gives a 5% increase in damage and a single Energy Bar. Do not try to prove me wrong, you cannot, Rank is not efficient and do not try to raise it up until you've reached division four and you want to cry. The only time you want to get your rank up is in Airborne battles because there's no such thing like Strength where you can't actually catch up.
The issue with rank in eRepublik is that you have to kill things, which means you have to get XP, and the five percent boost just isn't enough after a while to make up for the fact that you have absolutely no Strength. eRepublik even has this little bar that goes up every time you hit something, like it's some big deal. Stop looking at it. Now.
XP and Level
Your worst nightmare. Each levelup gives a single gold, and an energy refill. There's some other stuff in between but really there's nothing that will affect your fighting ability. XP increases every time you work, train, and fight. Levels 1-34 are Division 1. If your strength isn't in the mid 50,000's or higher, I'd try to stall out on Division 2. Here's why.
Battle Hero and Gold
You want Gold, I want Gold, who doesn't want Gold? See the thing is Gold as we've talked about it comes from those Super Soldier medals and Leveling up, but we've agreed that leveling up is bad, and Super Soldier takes forever, how do we remedy this? Battle Hero medals.
You get a Battle Hero medal (BH) if you do the most damage in any given Battle. If you win the medal in Div 1 you get two gold, 3 in Div 2, 4 in Div 3, and 5 in Div 4. If you can consistently win BH's, you'll make tons of Gold. To do this you need to be the strongest in your Division, we want a high Strength, with a low Level so we can stay in Div 1 or 2 and win those BH's.
But I have a need to press this big red button...
Shame on you! Bad! If you have to fight, only fight your 25 daily order kills, and if you don't feel that it's worth your time, just don't. Don't fight. With 1XP per attack you're probably gaining around 75 XP per each daily order as it takes kinda sorta around three hits with Q7 weapons. So really attacking isn't that necessary. Maybe only attack if the battle is in the 40% range and maybe your hits can help push it over the edge, who knows. In any case, STOP pressing that button so damn often!
Just remember three things
Strength is good.
Rank is not important
XP is bad

I love this... but don't waste your gold on training grounds! You should fight in the air exclusively and training grounds don't help you with air battles. Save that gold for perception training!
#deathfromabove
Thanks finger! I'll be busy for a while, so these big articles won't happen daily, I think you'll see a short one on airborne mechanics though, no pictures cause iPads suck with forum html blubbery.
Pretty sound advice.
The training ground is still the best investment. It will pay for itself.
The perception center has been promised since the resource wars. If you passed up training grounds when those were offered; you'd have lost over 100 gold by now. (Just Saying.)
Here's a comment 😛
Please keep writing. 🙂
Note: rank is proportional to damage. Not kills.

Strength training + no fighting? Or air battles?
Strength Training and Air Battles only....
Excellent advice all around. Also, upgrade training grounds as quickly as possible by taking advantage of BankUp2StrengthUp and start collecting those SS medals which happen every 2.77777778 days once you reach 90 strength a day. As for Perception Training...I will believe it when I see it.
We agree on perception grounds. I have been saying this for the past few months but I get ignored.
No, you don't.
Very nicely done! Voted, subscribed, and endorsed.
