UK Tutorial Day1 Task2
The homepage
This is the opening screen you will see when you first join the game. At this point the game offers you the opportunity to do a tutorial (top left of the screen). This is useful as the user interface is quite complex and there are a lot of mistakes you can quite easily make. At this point, the tutorial is basically a set route which will allow you to complete some early missions, gain some insight into the basics of the game, and introduce some key elements of the game’s mechanics that will be referenced in this guide.
Each of these elements are accessible from the homepage:
1. My Places This contains all of your things: companies, training grounds, your inventory and other special buildings. In the tutorial, you will learn how to train and how to work. Both of these are essential daily tasks, as they are rewarded with gold.
2. Wars Located to the right of the My Places button, this is where battles taking place are displayed. There are various kinds of wars, and as mentioned before, not all wars are genuine invasions - but knowledge of this and the reasons why will be explained later on. For now, just remember, all references to fighting, are actually references to wars: as without a war, you can’t fight!
3. Energy bar
Activity on eRepublik is contingent on you having some energy. As with all energy based games, energy regenerates over time. Unlike most other time regenerate games, eRepublik allows you to effectively use double your energy. For the purposes of this tutorial, we’ll refer to ‘Energy bank’ and ‘Energy pool’. Your energy bank is your [u]stored[/u] energy, in the image, this account’s energy bank is full at 100 energy. Your energy pool, is energy which you can recover, but have not yet recovered, to your energy bank. Thus, even though your energy [u]bank[/u] may be full at 100, eRepublik will still allow you to store another 100 energy in your energy [u]store[/u]; so a player’s total energy, is actually double the number shown here.
