Serbian version below.
Today article is shorter than usual so English part will go first. For Serbian readers skip this and scroll down, nice maps with lots of details are waiting.
Maps used for this analysis are from testura server, hope they don’t change any region until next week. For every high region a screen shot is made so you will be able to see where are most important regions placed.
Firstly political map of Africa just to see how many countries are placed before i start talking about petrol and iron and stuff. Map will now go grey and only colors will be resources.
AFrica has 12 iron abundant regions most in northwestern part of Africa, strategically beter area than south or east part of continent. Good place to start is Sierra Leone or Algeria since other high area are just around the corner. If you like bigger challenge choose Equatorial Guinea or Djibouti, and have fun.
15 high grain regions tells that agriculture is very developed in Africa but do not be amaized to discover that only few have strategic relevance because they are close to other high regions. If you prefer grain than iron, start in Congo or Burkina Faso. Medium difficulty is any southern country such as Namibia, Lesotho or Zimbabwe.
10 diamond regions mostly located in center of Africa provide interesting place for begginers, very good place for quick profit since missions will demand lost of q1 gifts, so jump start can be very profitable here. Countries to pick from: Liberia-oil close, Chad or Niger even Guinea-Bisau. GB is very interesting place since it has 3 high regions near by and good borderlines to conquest them.
Questionable is location of Egypt, compensated with close iron region 2 fields west, and Burundi in very center of the map. HARD MODE land: Swaziland deeply into South Africa territories.
9 regions rich with liquid gold. Not a single one close to South Africa, closest in Zambia-border with High iron region in Tanzania. Kenya has nice place oil next to Ugandian grain and Ivory Coast, Mali iron near by. If Sudan is good place if you look for wood in neighbour house.
Only 2 high regions placed in Benin and Ethiopia. Most battles will be in Benin since it is surrounded with grain and iron regions just waiting to step in.
Both regions look distant from main high regions and like safe. Somalian is at very east peak of Africa, while Ghana is close to Ivory Coast. That will be interesting to see how IC will manage to fight way to take stone.
Claiming all 6 high regions looks much easier if you start in Ivory Coast or Mali than in any other country, since all others require +1 country and +1/4 RW per day more to maintain them within empire.
First superforce will probably have only 3 high regions-like South Africa, unlikely Serbia on secura today, 4 high regions easily held against Romania and Albania. Battlefields may prove me wrong since lot of MU will pick different countries to start.
Biggest problem may be if „mortal enemies“ select same country and then battles to claim parliament and manage state finances. Better have zero high regions than CW every week or so.
True superforce from the south is South Africa. Iron in house, grain and diamond surrounded probably PTOed has biggest chance in medium or long terms to become true leader. Great danger lies in MU’s which will land there. Only cooperation in politics and division of labor or control will make them prosper and road to Zambia and Somalia and Ethiopia as endgame. Also Oil rich Kenya or Zambia may be nice surprise
Tell me in comments what are you favorable countries to start, maybe we may pull vote since WW is just around the corner.

U današnjem članku obrađujem regije sa visokim sadržajem resursa, potrebnim za razvoj država u Africi. Prva fotografija je Afrika politička mapa. Veliki broj država sa još većim brojem regija će otežati osvajanje I sam dolazak do željenih HIGH regija, kao i osvajanje “vekovnih neprijatelja”.
Radi lakšeg snalaženja na mapi, Tabeli sam dodao 4 kolone koje određuju položaj regije na mapi. Neće svaka od tih 4 kolona biti popunjena već samo dve, tako da će se uvidom u mapu lako steći orijentacija gde je ta regija.
Kritične regije su gvožđe/grain/diamond.
Afrika raspolaže sa 12 HI regija. Raspoređene sun a krajnjem jugu I severo-zapadu kontinenta, izdvajaju se regije u centralnoj Africi-Libija I na Madagaskaru. Male regije su okružene velikim brojem država što oteažva odbranu zbog velikog broja mogućih ustanaka.
Ovde su slo\ene regije u ekselu šarao sam da bude lakše snalaženje. Ako je loše, jedan edit probleme reši,
15 grain regija kažu da je kontinent bogat pšenicom ali sama lokacija je najpovoljnija na severo-zapadu i krajnjem jugu zbog blizine regija bogate gvožđem.
Južna Afrika je buduća superdržava zbog posedovanja gvožđa u originalnim regijama i okružuje žitnice i dijamante. Glavni problem mogu biti unutrašnje prirode koji će nastati zbog raznih MU koje će tamo otpočeti igru. Mada saradnja i osvajanje mogu da usklade interese i naprave superzvezdu.
Dijamanata ima na 10 lokacija od kojih su najbolje locirane lokacije na severo-zapadu kontinenta. Najbolja lokacija je unutar Južne Afrike, jer saradnja ili osvajanje gvožđa daje veliki vetar u leđa daljem osvajanju. Takođe je i grain blizu i to je najbrže osvajanje 3 regije.
Stavio sam sve regije unutar jedne fotografije. Nadam se da ne zamerate previse.
Naftom bogatih država ima svega 9, skoro sve su na severnoj strani mape, bliže centru Afrike dok na jugu Zambiju koja je opet daleko od Južnoafričke republike. Obala slonovače ima najveći potencijal od svih država da ima najjaču regiju jer je okružuju žitom i gvožđem bogate države. Vrlo verovatan izbor za brza osvajanja i jeftinija putovanja na početku igre.
Kamena skoro uopšte nema u Africi, svega 2 regije bogate kamenom u Gani i Somaliji. Lokacija Gane je strateški daleko bolja od Somalijskih pirata.
Drvo će se seći samo u Beninu i Etiopiji. Strateški bolja regija je Benin.
Strateški najbolji raspored je urađen oko država Mali i Sijera Leone, kojima su najbliže sve HIGH regije. Prvo zbog IRON regije u samim državama koje omogućava brži razvoj i drugo lokacija tim državama daje veliku prednost za osvajanje GRAIN i DIAMOND regija okolnih zemalja. Razvoj okolnih regija MU iz tih država na dugi rok omogućava da sopstvenu ekonomiju ojačaju dodatnim regijama, dok neprijateljima ne koristi mnogo jer neće koristiti ništa od proizvodnje, samo mali deo poreza.
Takođe se pored nalazi OIL regija u Obali slonovače i Nigeriji blizu granice sa Malijem čijim bi osvajanjem bio pridodat 4 element, dok su Drvo i Kamen u Gani odnosno Beninu što vrlo brzo može napraviti prvu superdržavu na Afričkom kontinentu.
Jednom uspostavljeno stanje je malo održivo zbog činjenice da ni jedna država nema u svom sastavu više od 1 HIGH regije zbog čega je potrebno braniti najmanje 5 ustanka dnevno. Nisam računao, pardon, server je poludeo i ne radi dok pišem članak tako da ne vidim da li se prolazi kroz još država. Ako se prolazi najbolje je uraditi trajni PTO ili biti u savezu sa tom državom i deliti poreze.

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.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
