businessman, even you can become a president of a country.
eRepublik describes itself as the first massive online social strategy game. Multiplayer strategy game that allows users to rule a country, be an entrepreneur or gather your fellow citizens to start a resistance war. In eRepublik you start as a citizen, it still has resource management and massive battles, but they take place on a higher level. Your first step is to find a job. There are thousands of different jobs, and each unnecessary focus on a certain skill. As in life, as you increase your skills you can find jobs that pay more money, which you can use to buy food, weapons, etc. Aside from working you also need to Train. The same as working, all you need to do is click on “Train” and you will gain a little bit of “Strength”.
One of the great hooks of the game is that all the countries are real-world countries. It is also very casual, and players who want a very low-maintenance game can play for five minutes a day, contribute to their country, and be done with it. Of course, players who want to be more involved can start companies, run for office, start newspapers, etc. The interesting thing about the game is how far you can go with it. All of the companies that offer jobs are run by players who earned enough money to start a company. From that point the game is much more complicated since you have to manage all the resources you bring in and all your employees who, by working, transform the company’s resources into goods that can be sold to other players. Going further still, you can be elected to a Government position, where you will be able to go to war and try to conquer other provinces. Once a war is started every player from the opposing countries has the option to fight in the battle, using their strength and any weapons they’ve bought to contribute. Essentially, each player is a single military unit.
Players cannot die from a battle, but every time you fight you lose Health, which needs to be replinished by eating food or other items you can buy.
