We created initial job and market offers in every country so your will be able to survive your first days.
If you want to meet other players or game admins, please visit: http://qchat.rizon.net/ (join channel #e-sim)
All countries starts from the scratch with:
- empty gold and currency treasure
- no alliances
- no wars (except training war in South Korea)
- 6 core regions
- single company, job offers and monetary offers posted by the administration.
- first citizen to register becomes a president
- first 20 citizens become congress members
To develop your country you need to work hard, cooperate and orginise your local society.
Local communities should create companies, donate gold to country treasue, issue local currencies, sign alliances and start their first wars and battles.
To encourage poeople to make their first moves, the price of attacking countries, declaring wars and making MPP has been reduced for few weeks:
- declaring war cost 30 Gold
- resistance war cost 20 Gold
- alliance cost 10 Gold
- attacking country cost 10 Gold
In the future, those prices will be higher and will depend on population of countries and regions
There is a possibility to contribute to the game and earn additional gold
- we pay 5 gold and tester medal for each bug found or suggested (and implemented) feature
- we pay gold for contributing to the wiki (discuss payment with admin)
- the game needs a better logo. We will pay 100g to the player, who makes one that we will accept.
Hint 1 If there aren't any battles yet in your country, you should travel to South Korea or Taiwan and participate in training battle there ( you will also earn some money for fighting!)
Hint 2 If you don't have enough money to start a company, you can use contract module to borrow/lend gold to someone else.
Hint 3 Invite some friends to the game using invitation module . You will reinforce your country and get additional gold
Hint 4 If you got lost with the rules of the game, just use wiki links or ask anyone on the Irc
Hint 5 Take a look at the collection of useful resources
SERVER PROBLEMS
I will explain the current server problems.
Right now the game have dedicated 4-core server. The problems are caused by the fact, that over 1.500 accounts have been registered within only 4 hours. The current server is simply not strong enough for the game.
I'm deeply sorry for server problems, we will be working on it for the next hours and days.
I ordered a bigger machine with the following parameters:
* Opteron 6164 HE
* 24 CPU cores
* 12 GB RAM
I guess the game will be transfered into the new machine within 24 hours.
During the night I will also make some optimizations to the game, so the situation will improve a little bit in the morning
I would also like to apologise to all people who I didn't respond. Right now I have over 50 messages in my box. It will take a little bit till I respond all of them
EDIT 2
the server has been finally moved to those 24 core machine!

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
