Hello everyone,lets talk about one of the most important part of website, DESIGN. Yes, I said desing, why it is so important ?
Because design represent the whole website quality. For example lets compare e-sim and erepublik. e-sim is better game because of the its system(I mean working economy, progresive work and strenght skills, and etc.) Talking about game features they are pretty much the same. So far e-sim vs erep 2:1. Lets move on, erepublik have better web design and better map 2:3. Erep have 70 countrys, e-sim 38 2:4. Erep is running for 1468 days and has ~100 000 users, e-sim 83 days ~10 000 users 2:5.
e-sim is tracking every players moves (so multies using is impossible, not like in erep) 3:5. In e-sim you cant buy gold 4:5. Erep has better ticket system 4:6. So far we can say that erep is better game (but it s*cks anyway
(after making some implements we should beat erep easily)
Thats why I think 3 most urgent features that needs to be implements as soon as posible are
1) New web design
2) New map design
3) Working tickect system
(and not so urgent features would be new countries and translations
)
[if you want to track the progress of these features development by my volantiers team, I recomend you to subscribe my newspaper]
In this article I'm going to focus on system of design development
If you have heard about open source, we will do something like they, I mean design code will be public, anyone will able to make improvement and etc
You may say I'm not pro, I have never written design before, but actually that aint so hard, everything that you need for coding you can find here:http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
Pages that needs developers proper attention are :
Main
Register
Intro page
Battle field
Maintance
404
Anyway, there where some suggestion in forum, but lets determinate some things :
Main color blue
Width:1024
web main color will be blue, cause blue represent e-sim, trying to change color scheme would be like repaint facebook to red (you wuold not like it, wont you ?), another thing is web width I strongly believe that everyone will agree on 1024 pixel
Thouse who doesnt agree with can read here
Another imporant thing is sidebar place, we can place it right or in left, ofcourse many of you wont agree with this, but actually its better then placing it in left, because we view website as a book that you read from left to right (ofcourse jews do that otherwise, no offense intended), so what is more important to you your profile which doesnt change so much or other more interesting content
Structal elements of logged in design
<div id="wraper"><!---1024px width--->
<header> </header>
<nav> </nav>
<div id="maincontent"> </div>
<aside> </aside><!---side bar--->
<footer> </footer>
</div>
Ads places
I suggest to place them one in header 468x60 (which should give a lot of clicks)
and another 4 in sidebar 125x125
and last one at the bottom of content (728x90) in some cases
Since they havent normal ticket system I suggest to do it like this(with priorities)
1 Prio Urgent bugs [when players can earn a lot of gold and etc(that needs proper admin attention)
2 Prio something specefic is not working for specifick person (that also need admin attentions)
3 Prio Player reports (mods are solving them)
4 For suggestion use forum
More cooming soon, just I didnt have a lot of time to write this article

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.
