Round 1 Analysis
Malaysia caught offguard. Lopsided win for the Philippines.
The Filipinos proved their dominance over Malaysia by incurring more than 2 million damage points against their rival in the first round of the Battle for Sarawak. The Malaysians, who believe a ceasefire was in place between the two nations, were probably surprised by the attack as they weren't even able to lift a finger against the Filipinos.
Also, Malaysia's A-Team alliance proved to be futile during the attack as it failed to defend their ally's Sawarak region from the Filipinos. Taiwan's and Indonesia's effort to assist Malaysia apparently wasn't enough. Meanwhile, China, one of the strongest countries in the A-Team Alliance, wasn't able to help Malaysia at all, decidedly because of its preoccupation with its own ongoing wars then with the United States.
Round 2 Analysis
Malaysia come from behind to win by a slim margin.
Emerging from an overkill during the first round, the Malaysians persevered to take the second with relentless attacks against the Philippine side. This proved to be enough for them to secure the second round win by a slight margin and edge the Philippines out.
Again, the A-Team failed to ascertain its military relevance as the second round was clearly a one-man show for Malaysia. Still, no China.
Round 3 Analysis
Philippines edged Malaysia, thanks to its allies.
The Round 3 was a relatively close round as well and Malaysia actually inflicted the Philippines more damage. However, the Philippine allies showed that they are more reliable than the Malaysian side as Iran and Germany hit Malaysia with significant amount of the damage to help the Filipinos take the second round.
The A-Team's effort wasn't enough to save Malaysia this round. And still, China remained out of the equation.
Round 4 Analysis
Philippines' allies save the day once more
- Friends and allies clinch the win again for the Filipinos.
- A-Team Alliance remained irrelevant during the fourth round of the conquest.
Round 5 Analysis
Team effort gives the Philippines its third straight round win
- Philippines dominated Malaysia in all departments.
- Offensive from allies and friends assured Filipinos the win.
- Chinese offensive not enough
- Indonesia remained Malaysia's best ally; but effort fell short

Round 6 Analysis
Fourth straight win for the Philippines, Malaysia losing its steam
- Round 4 proved its ties with Indonesia is crucial to Malaysia's security
- Malaysian offensive fell
- Malaysian allies went all out, but to no avail
- A-Team fell short of taking Round 2

- Friends and allies Colombia and Portugal contributed significantly to the win
Round 7 Analysis
Malaysia breaks losing skid via a very slim win
- Malaysia on desperate mode, relies on its offensive to take Round 7 via slim lead
- Still solid A-Team
- Philippines and its allies fall of securing the round
Round 8 Analysis
Philippines re-emerge, tramples on Malaysia
- Philippines and its allies avenge previous round loss
- Indonesia the only one fighting on Malaysian side
- Philippines' abandonment of South Korea didn't strain relations between two nations as South Korea assisted the Philippines during this round
- A-Team irrelevant
Round 9 Analysis
Philippines win, Malaysia absent
- No presence of Malaysia during the round
- Indonesia remained the only fighting nation on the side of the Malays
- Philippines now one round away from taking Sarawak
- Philippine company remained more reliable
Round 10 Analysis
Malaysia gives Sarawak up, Philippines extends winning streak vs Malaysia!
What the win means to the Philippines?
- Morale boost for the Filipinos
- Philippines' re-assertion of its rising significance in the Asian region
- Re-alignment of vague foreign policy
- Improves Filipino nation solidarity in the midst of controversies
- Increases confidence of Filipinos to the government
- The win shows how important its allies are to the Philippines
What the loss means to Malaysia?
- Underlines Malaysia's fragile security and vulnerabilities
- Underlines the weaknesses of the A-Team Alliance
- Proves Indonesia's allegiance to Malaysia
- Establishes the Philippine threat
What the battle means for the region?
- China and Indonesia closely watching the Philippines
- China's foreign policy on Philippines' emergence vague due to the recent establishment of the UN while being in another alliance, the A-Team. Has China identified the weakness of the latter and is now trying to abandon it towards a new alliance?
- Multipolarity brought about by China, Indonesia and emerging Philippines may cause instability in Asia
- Indonesia perceives Philippines as the new threat
- South Korea now seeing "the Philippines rhetoric" as something it can employ against China
Where to go from here?
- Maintain dominance against rival Malaysia; absolute conquest should be the ultimate goal.
- Be wary of Indonesia. It now sees the Philippines a threat
- Government has to have a coherent foreign policy on China. Is the country an ally, an enemy or a threat?
- HAVE BALLS. Don't imitate our real life politicians.

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.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
