Free online multiplayer strategy games - eRepublik

Free online multiplayer strategy games - eRepublik
It’s a web browser free-to-play mmo game developed by eRepublik Labs in 2008. You become a citizen of a country that you chose and then go up on the social ladder from nobody to national hero, party leader, congressman or even president. Of course, if you play it right. The fun part is that you can remain nobody and still feel to be part of something bigger.
So let’s speak about the fun parts. First thing you have to do is chose a country. I chose Canada because … well … because Canada rocks, and because nobody wants to attack Canada … Right? Well … wrong. First message I get is from the president: “We are fighting United Kingdom, struggling to keep our territories but also to expand our borders”. Damn Brits. Leave Canada alone.
As expected you start untrained, unemployed and uneverything. For better understanding of the game mechanics you have some missions that will guide you through the game.
You can get a job at one of other player’s companies. That’s I think something just to be there as it doesn’t really give so much advantage in anything. Then you will enroll in a military company. That’s right, you are already part of something bigger, your actions will from now on influence the world around you. Not really but at least it feels like it. Until level 10 or so the military campaigns will provide the experience boost for leveling up.
At 10 your should already have enough gold to build your own weapons factory so you can produce weapons every day. So I’m not just a citizen, I’m a weapon dealer. And quite a bad one because all my weapons brake after a few uses so I need to buy/produce others in order to fight for my country. Actually there is no ammo system so the guns, bazookas or tanks that your use have a limited number of fires until they disappear. That’s not really so much of an issue. As you fight or work your life goes down (one more prove that work kills people). You are a farmer too so you can produce your own food to heal you through the day.
There is a big weapon, food, parts market that can provide the necessary needs to live and prosper in eRepublik. There is even a monetary market to exchange your money and a place where you can buy second hand companies from other players. So so many things to do. This is always a good for a killing time web browser game. But as I suspected there is more on eRepublik to do that killing foreigners. The community is huge and there are conflicts everywhere. The world map is split in little provinces that need to be controlled and conquered. Each country has its own allies and enemies which are kinda shaped like in the real world. For example Romania is fighting Hungary, Chile is fighting Argentina, Portugal Spain and Mexico USA.
Back to domestic politics. You can either create your own party or join one that is already created. Each has a president elected periodically and it’s own political platform with promises just like in real life. Sounds fun, right? There are even national presidential elections and the parties are really fighting each other. This means alliances, backstabbing and a lot of spam in your inbox. Still, lots of fun. If you add the economy, the military strategy and the multitude of options in building a community, eRepublikis definitely bringing browser games to a new level.
All sounds like fun until you realize that this experience costs. What I mean is that for full enjoyment of the game your need to pay real money, not because they force your to buy things but because it will boost your activities and will reduce the waiting time between your health regenerates or you can finish a mission. Of course , you can’t blame the game for that, it is free-to-play and everybody commits at a different level, depending on how much you like it or how much are you willing to pay for it.
In conclusion eRepublik is a fun game that stepped out from the normal boring browser game type to a new more global and more interesting one.

eRepublik is a popular new browser-based strategy MMO with a mix of social networking features. Players create a citizen and chose a real-world country to start their new lives in. A tutorial video where Plato, your mentor, explains the game’s basics does a good job at introducing players to eRepublik. Actual gameplay activities in the ERepublik are sparse, players must find a job and can train daily to improve their military capabilities. Beyond that, social interaction is the main focus of the game. Players can organize political parties, create newspapers, and participate in battles against foreign nations. Seasoned players can even start their own companies and hire other players. The publishers are taking a modular development approach so look for additional features to be added incrementally.

Military online game - eRepublik

Military online game - eRepublik

eRepublik is a massively multiple player online, social networking and strategy web browser game: a mirror version of the real world that allows you to follow your political, economic or military aspirations and change the course of history.

eRepublik is about changing the course of history in a huge virtual society.  The massively multiplayer online strategy game is set in a mirror world where players, referred to as citizens, join in local and national politics, set economic policy, start businesses and wage wars with other countries.  Players can lead their fellow citizens to prosperity as country presidents or control the market as rich company managers. When it comes to war, diplomacy helps, but citizens will need to get a weapon to defend their country's borders - or expand them. With over 47 countries, 8,000 businesses, and varied country resources, strategy and know-how are critical to making it to the top.  One this is for sure though - the future of the New World is in the hands of its citizens.

The game is designed to take just 15 minutes per day to maintain an active citizen. eRepublik estimates that over 90% of the content in the game has been created by citizens, including thousands of newspapers, hundreds of political parties, and more than 2,900 companies that employ over 23,000 citizens. Citizens also provide national defense as soldiers and set foreign policy as presidents, congressmen and leaders of political parties.

Features:

The current version of the game is version 1.0. It adds on popular features including:

- Resistance wars - countries that have been taken over or occupied can now stage resistance wars against the aggressing country
- Raw materials - countries will now be able to exploit and trade raw materials such as oil, wood, grain and diamonds
- Embargoes - presidents will be able to set economic embargoes against countries
- Minimized corruption - a new system that reduces the ability of presidents to steal the assets of countries
- New tools for Congress - ability to propose and debate laws and impeach the president
- Improved media section - a completely new media section that allows media owners to better reach their subscribers...

Welcome to part one of the Economy Guide for New Players (EGNP)

There is a lot of place where I could start but i will start with the Raw Material companies

It begins in Raw material companies (Grain, Iron, Oil and Stone companies).
The managers hire workers to work for them. The workers work and produce raw materials (grain, iron, oil and stone). The higher the health of the worker the higher amount of raw materials they produce. Managers of companies prefer for workers to be effiecent and work with higher wellness. Working with higher wellness also increases your economy skill. Your economy skill determines your economy level. The higher the level the higher your production which means a higher paycheck. If you work everyday and work with high health then your economy skill will level up faster.

What happens if a worker doesn't work with a high wellness? Then the worker produces less and the manager gets less money for selling the materials, And your economy skill gets less points.

Lets say I work with a 100 health. My economy skill increases by 467. You produce half of your economy skill you get by working. So I produced 234 grain. Lets say it is sold for 0.09.
234 x 0.09 = 21.06
so that means the manager gets 21.06 for the sale. if your salary is higher than that then the manager loses money. to check how much the manager makes multiply your produce by the lowest market price (if working in a Raw company) and that is how much the manager made. if it is more than your salary then that is good. but if it is less then that means you are underproducing so either your salary make be cut, you may be fired or the manager may leave you alone. its best to stay safe and work with full 100 wellness.

Basicaly same applies to food and weapon companies multiply your production by the lowest market price however they have a VAT tax which changes the numbers slightly. Basicly you should take away the VAT also from what the manager gets (in a Q1 company for food around 4-5 cents)
lets look at would be our resources. Which are in

this link

This page shows bascially alot about eCanada's economy. the resources we have, our taxes and other stuff.
On this page the first thing you should see is the amounts of resources Canada has. Each region has a resource which gives a bonus to the productivity to the workers. right now we have

4 Fish regions
Fish are a resource that give a bonus to food companies. A fish region gives a 5% bonus to food productivity. Since we have 4 that means we have a food bonus of 20%.

3 Cattle regions
Cattle are like fish also give food productivity. since we have three that adds 15% to our food productivity. So we have a 35% food bonus.

3 Deer regions
Deer are like cattle and fish so we can add another 15% to our food bonus making it 50%

1 fruit region
Same as the other mentioned resources so we add 5% to our bonuses making it 55%

0 Grain regions
the last resource that affects food. Acually they affect grain productivity. If a country has a grain region their grain productivity gets a 25% bonus. Grain is needed to make food.

We also have

2 Aluminum regions
Aluminum is basically like fish, cattle deer and fruit but instead of affecting the food bonus productivity it gives a bonus towards weapon productivity. So we have a 10% for weapons

0 saltpeter, or rubber

These are basically the same as aluminum they give a 5% bonus to weapon productivity.

0 Oil
Oil is like the three resources that give bonuses to weapon productivity, but it also is needed to produce moving tickets

1 Iron region
Iron is like grain it gives a 25% bonus to iron production which is needed to make weapons.


So what can we make from these resources?

Raw material companies make raw materials (grain, iron, stone and oil) and sell them to companies who need the raw materials to make products.

Food is made out of Grain which is made by Grain companies.

Moving Tickets are made out of oil bought from oil Companies

Weapons are made out of iron which is made in iron companies.

Houses, Hospitals and Defense Systems are made by stone.

Don't worry about what hospitals and defense systems are as they will be deleted by the Admins soon enough.

Types of companies
there are raw companies (grain, oil iron and stone). these compaines create raw materials which are sold to manufacturing companies
they are Q1 companies meaning by working in them you will lose only one health. raw companies cannot be upgraded into Q2, Q4 or Q83 etc.

The manufacturing companies (food, weapons, moving tickets, house, defense system and hospitals) create finished goods which citizens can buy (except for defense system and hospitals which are used by the goverment to defend certain regions). they can be and quality (Q) which is from Q1 to Q5
The Q of the company determines the amount of health you lose by working. Working in a Q1 company amkes you lose 1 health, Q2 lose 2 health and so on. it is best ot work in a Q1 company if as you lose the least health.

Next is the taxes

There is three types of taxes 
Income, import and Vat
Vat does not apply to Raw Materials
Income tax taxes the worker and the manager.
lets say you work in a food company. 5% of your income goes to the government.
Import taxes affect the prices of items from other countries. A company selling food from a different country would have to have sell at a lower price and then have a tax added to it increasing the price of the product.
Last is the VAT
the Vat tax applies only to manufactured products and not to raw materials. the VAT (value added Tax) taxes the buyer of manufactered products. Lets say a manager wants to put food on the market for $0.80, the VAT adds 5% to the price so it becomes 0.84 that 5% added goes to the government. Basically its like real life. (tax is included)

Short Summary 
Workers produce raw materials or manufactered products (depending on their company) which the manager sells. The higher the health of the worker the more he produces. The better quality of the company the more health the worker loses. Fish, Cattle, Deer and Fruits regions all increase the food production of workers. Grain regions increase the production of grain for workers. Aluminum, Saltpeter, rubber and oil increase weapon productivity rates. Oil also is needed for moving tickets. Iron increases iron production.
Grain makes food, Iron makes weapons, Oil makes moving tickets, Stone makes houses. Defens systems and hospitals are almost useless. Income taxes tax how much the government takes away from a workers income. Import tax taxes the products from other countries. VAT applies only to manufactured products and tax the products people buy.

Even shorter summary 
Work with high health

Politic Online Game - eRepublik

The Party Layer 

REGISTER NOW!!

 Strangely joining a party isn’t an in-game mission, but if you want a political career then it’s a must! Political Parties are the grass roots of politics in eRepublik. Every party you see in eRepublik was created by a player at some point in its life, they’re created by anyone level 16 or over who has a spare 40 gold floating around. It’s probably important to note that if you want to create your own new, fresh party then instead of spending 40 of your hard earned gold you can take over a party that’s hardly got any people in it come election time.


You can join a party by clicking on the “Community” tab and then selecting “My Party” from the drop down menu. From there you’ll see a list of parties in order of the number of members they have. By clicking on a party, you’ll be taken to the party page where you can find out more about the party. As of two days ago, you’ll not only see who the Party President is, but also the vice-President, Secretary General, Councillor and Spokesperson.

 Most parties have their own sub-forums, once you’ve joined a party you can request access to their forum by clicking right about here. If you’d like to become the Party President of a party then this’ll be a great step. You’ll be able to find out about the party more, and eventually post your manifesto so that people will vote for you!

 Party President elections occur every month on the 15th and you can vote by clicking on the “Community” tab once again and clicking on “elections”. If you win the Party President Election, then the fun’s not over yet! As Party President, you’ll be able to choose your team, change the name of the party and its orientation. You’ll also have some important abilities come the 25th of the month and the 5th of the next. A Party President chooses the order of the people who have applied to run for congress on the 24th and by the 3rd of the next month they can choose to run or back a Country President candidate.

 The Congressional Layer

 The second layer is to do with congress. As a congressman you’re able to propose up to two laws and can approve three citizen applications. Within the eUK, a congressman also is able to propose laws on our forums and vote on others.

 You’ll also be privy to our sensitive issue sub-forum, where things that cannot be disclosed to the public are discussed. In the past alliance votes have taken place there, as well as many other things that have shifted the direction the eUK has headed.

 It really is quite an important role so long as you’re able to follow the rules! Amongst other things, the responsibilities of congress members include:
 ”-To make, amend, improve, or stop the making of laws; -
To examine the daily workings of the executive branch of government, and hold it to account; -
To represent the interests of your constituents in Parliament; -
To support your party or colleagues in a collective effort to approve or to oppose; -
To advance causes, national or local, in Parliament; -
To grant citizenship to approved applicants.”

 The congress election is held on the 25th of each month. It used to be that you could choose where you ran and people would vote for the candidate. These days you apply to run for congress, the Party President takes the list of everyone running and puts it in an order so that the people at the top of the list are more likely to be elected than those at the bottom.

Everybody has a vote and they vote for the party of their choice. The party which gets the largest percentage of the votes will get the largest amount of congressmen voted in. For instance, if a party receives 50% of all the votes cast then the top 50% of the people on the list that the Party President composed will be elected in to office.

 The Presidential Layer

 On the 5th of every month is the Country President elections, and you’ll probably see this at the top of the page. The Country President election is the most important of the three layers for the country. Get a bad president and the country can have lost its money, it could be wiped from the map and can have done irreversible damage to relations with allies and other countries.

This is why it’s important you should vote for the person who you think will do the best and not just because they’re in the same party as you are. Thankfully, in case there’s a rogue or inactive CP then congress has the ability to impeach them providing 66% of congress members agree, otherwise you have to wait 7 days to do it again.

So use them wisely! Once you click on the “vote now” banner, you’ll be taken to a page with all the candidates and the party they’re running under. Under their name will be goals they hope to accomplish by the end of the term (Regions they want to conquer or keep, population increase and GDP).

 The Military Layer

 For some reason that no average Joe can fathom, also on the 15th of each month you have the ability to vote for the Captain of your regiment in your Regiment by clicking on your profile, then clicking on your Military Unit.

 The link that takes you to the vote is on the Military Unit page. But no, no body know why it’s like that.

 The Ministerial Layer

 Up until recently this has been more out of game than in. Every President that is elected has a cabinet made up of ministers who do various jobs. The only way to get a job is to apply to someone running for President who’ll ultimately pick the person they feel is best suited to the job.

Now a days a President can assign Ministerial positions to people in-game, making it easier for foreign diplomats and eUK Players alike to find the people they’re looking for. By following this link you can see a few of the current Ministers..

Strategy Game Review - eRepublik

Register to eRepublik Now

Since i was 3 years old i have been playing video games. I know what makes a good game, I know what it takes to make a game great, And i know what has to be done for a game to hit legendary status.
Most out there think for a game to be great it must have great graphics. But this is in no way true. Many of my favorite games are on the super Nintendo and N64. They did not have great graphics yet i still love them.
Or it has to have a great storyline or at lest great gameplay. This is some what true. All games have a storyline but its to what point and everyone has a different gaming style.
But no what makes a game great is how it pulls the player in. Graphics, Storyline, And game play sole purpose is to do this. To make the player feel attached to the game. To feel real emotions to what is going on in the game.
This is were Erepublik (Strategy Game Review) sets itself away from other games. With out the graphics of the 360 or PS3 or even ones from other web based games Erepublik has achieved something developers have been trying to do for as long as games have been around. And only few have.

They have created a game that can really pull the player in. I don't know about you but when i play Erepublik i really feel like I'm a citizen of the new world. At times i get mad when i read a article on politics like i would when i watch RL news on RL politics. I get sad when i see a Friend on my Friends list has died. Its because of this that Erepublik has become a great game.

However over time i have seen that Erepublik has done even more. They have found the secret that makes a game hit legendary status.
The game makes a player feel as if he can do anything. There are really no limits of what Erepublik can do and become. There are no real borders with it. It has evolved beyond just the game. Many players have made forums, Websites, And chats. The new world has taking on a life of its own. The admins must feel proud to see that they crated a real world within this game.

Many games call themselves payer ran but most fail to do this. Erepublik has done what most fail at. It truly is player ran. One player can make a real impact. It has become my life away from my life.
Most game developers write there own history to give the game a background, But with Erepublik the players write the games history. There is a history book on Erepublik and many famous players are in it, And so can you be in the history books as well. When i read of the wars that were fought, The way life was back only a few years ago I'm like wow i wish i could have lived Thu that. The players not the admins control the game. The admins enforce what the player's decide. Like treaty's between country's.
That's another thing the admins have been really great. I don't think anyone gives them the credit for what they do. Most admins in other games are control freak's that ban you for the simplest reasons. However the admins of Erepublik are fair, Kind, And they really do listen.
Don't believe me well. Not to long ago i got in a debate or rather in a argument with some guy. He got mad and reported me to the admins. He said ha ha i just got you banned. I called him a #$^% because he was acting like one. He was yelling at me to. He thought the admins just ban whoever with out looking into it. He was wrong the admins review the reports and listen. Because of that i was in the clear. Not many staff members will do that.Also when i message them needing help they reply pretty fast and its hand writing not automatic.

Games are meant to make the player feel that hes apart of something. Apart of a world that was created just for them. Many fail, Some come close, But Erepublik has done it. If there was ever a game that would make me become addicted to it and play it 24/7, In till my real life fall to hell and that my family was forced to hold a intervention, And i was forced into a video game rehab center it would be Erepublik . To bad that after i kick my addiction i would have to sue them for damaging my mental hearth. Just joking I'm already damaged up there.

There are some flaws but even with that the only place for the game to go is up. Maybe v2 will will give us a bigger new world to mess with.

Well Erepublik i was looking for a great game to play on my computer. I played many and i have come to this.
World Of War Craft hate it, Erepublik love it.
So Erepublik as long as the new world still stands i will be a citizen of it.
