In my last article I promised that if I need advice, I'd ask for it. (Here it is, though you didn't miss anything if you didn't read it.)
Here I am; asking.
I've received excellent wisdom from citizen Animis whose guidance enabled me to discern why I do not need to establish a residency at the current time. Thank you to him/her, and if you have not befriended them yet in this game, you are missing out.
Clearly, Gold is the premium resource in this game. And I see several ways to spend it.
1. Training Grounds upgrades
2. Training in non-free Training Grounds
3. Purchasing companies
4. Purchasing currency on the market
5. I think those about cover it
Since USA is in a bit of trouble regarding territories and economic bonuses, it strikes me as a bad time to invest in companies. (I haven't even incorporated my free companies yet. Should I?)
So other than the question I just sneaked by you which I hope you will also answer, my question is this: "What should I do with my gold?"
It doesn't seem automatically obvious that I should invest in strength training because I can already determine that my citizen has no chance of ever becoming strength-relevant. Or am I missing something here?
Thank you for your kind attention to my previous article.
Congratulations to the new administration of Government.
Thank you to the previous administration of Government.
Hells bells to Serbia.

Save your gold and upgrade companies or training grounds when there is a discount.
So I should not ignore training? I fail to see much value in spending on it.
No, don't ignore training. Strength, not experience, is what will do damage. Division 1 players with high strength are very valuable. I recommend getting a Pro Training contract if you can afford it.
each 250 strength points gives 5 gold with the medal. If you upgrade the free training ground, you'll make money in the long run. But wait for the upgrade discount, 45% off training ground and company upgrades.
Focus on Air battles ( Except Epic battles)
Save gold for Admins big event ( Black friday, , summer sales.. Etc )
Don't forget you can buy Health Packs on the battlefield!
+10 energy for 0.5 Gold 😃
very bad advices.
Sorry
I know what you should do with your gold...
New cookware
Not exactly what I was thinking...
Because of the wars going on, it might be wise to wait before creating a holding for the companies, although the sooner you get the companies going the sooner you'll be able to make food for yourself, along with weapons to sell.

The wait for creating a holding is we don't know which regions will be safe until the invasion is over. I made my holding in Virginia before it started, and now I have to either pay to move all my companies, or just wait. I can't work as manager until the region is no longer controlled by "a nation at war with the nation of my citizenship"
Thanks. I need to read these.
Groot is 100% on target.
Air Combat is the way to guy for all new people.
Sign up for GIMP, check shouts in Nat. Feed by dmjohson for that.
do not waste cc on air weapons, useless.
Just keep chugging along, just keep asking questions.(You will get answers).
Oh yeah Animis is pretty awesome and is a she.
Keep playing.
Plus you are establishing yourself well in the media, keep at it.
Media especially good media is vital to the community
A lot of times the eAmerican community seems to be at each others throats. (politically, that is the nature of politics after all)
But that is on the surface.
Deep below, is a very excellent community of young and older than dirt citizens.
and we do help each other out.
easy-to-follow summary. thank you
If you plan to stick with Air fighting only, then training is a waste on money, it builds up STR for ground fighting only.
Agreed .. For new players STR training is a bit futile, I'd suggest just doing the free training and invest your gold into the extra energy buildings.
Always train at the Q1 (free) training every day, because of the 5 gold medal for every 250 strength.
Upgrading Q2 training does technically allow you to profit by training there every day, but it is a very very long ROI.
Anything above the Q2 training will lose you money, so unless you plan on buying the real-money packs to freeze your XP gain (keeping you in Division 1 battles longer, making your strength more relevant there) I would not suggest training in or investing in those.
Your final paragraph is intriguing. Thank you for giving me something to consider.
I do not have any option for any pack that offers freezing of XP. Does it unlock at a higher level?
I don't believe it's rank-restricted, but I I believe it isn't available every day. It's called the "Infantry Kit" and you'll see that and the Tycoon Pack come and go from the 'gold and extras' tab. I'm not a pack purchaser so I'm afraid I can't be more specific than that myself (when exactly it comes on the market and for how long..)
