The third part in my ongoing series to educate new players is finally here. Parts one and two can be found below:
Part I
Part II

How do I eat?
All you have to do is have food in your inventory and then your citizen will automatically eat food every day. You can only eat once a day, though.

What's the difference between experience and skill?
Your experience level is largely based on how active you are in the game (work, fight, train, vote, etc.) and the higher it is, the more game features you can unlock. Your skill levels relates to how many days have you worked in a particular industry. The higher your skill level, the more you produce when you work and the higher your pay.

I have a newspaper and I want to display a non JPEG file, how do I do it?
It's easy, just write img before your URL and /img after it. Don't forget to wrap the img text in brackets, though.

How do resistance wars start?
Resistance wars can only be started when a region is not occupied by its original owner (e.g. if Vermont was controlled by Canada). Then, anyone living in the occupied region can start a resistance war if they have enough gold. The battle then ensues and works like any other battle - if the resistance wins, the region is given back to the original owner, if the defenders win, the occupying powers continue to hold the region.

How do I know if my employer has enough money to pay me?
There's no sure-fire way to tell whether or not your employer has the cash to pay you, but there are some good indicators:
If other employees in the company have worked recently, that means they've gotten paid.
If the company has a lot of products on the market consistently, there stands a good chance you'll get paid.
If the company is for sale usually the manager is in an unprofitable business or doesn't have the cash to pay you - find a new job at this point.

Is there a way to tell if I've healed at the hospital already in one day?
Yes, there is. When you fight, click "go back to battlefield" and look in between the attacking and defending side's stats. If the game recommends that you go visit a hospital, then you haven't healed. If it has, then you have healed.

Can I carry over my skill level to another industry?
No, you cannot. If you have a skill level of 4 in the construction industry and you want to go into manufacturing, you'll have to get a skill 0 manufacturing job. This applies for all the industries.

How do I get gold?
There are three ways of getting gold in this game: buying it with real life money, leveling up, and getting achievements. Buying it with real life money is self-explanatory and you'll need a credit card or PayPal account to do so. Gold is awarded to you automatically when you reach experience level 6 and at levels 16+. Also, each time you earn an achievement (hard worker, super soldier, etc.) you get a 5 gold bonus to your citizen.

I can't buy anything with my gold, it's useless!
No it's not. When you have gold, go to the "market" tab in your menu and click "monetary market". You'll then see the monetary exchange of the game. Go to the upper left corner where it says "buy" and click on the American flag. You can then exchange your gold for dollars. You just need to pay attention to how many dollars the person is selling and what the exchange rate is.

Do I need a new email address every time I create a new organization?
Yes, you do. You need one email address for your citizen and a completely new email address for each of your organizations.

I hope I was of help and the next eUSA FAQ should be up within a few days.
