It has been a long time without a dev info article. Time to change that. This is the first article for an upcoming set of arts
We are doing some database optimization to make the game run faster.
You will not be able to access the game for about 1 hour on Saturday 4:00 AM game time. Additionally, some of you may encounter some achievements problems till tomorrow 5 AM. Do not worry
According to players who comment my posts on FB, new players coming from the last BBs do not know what a National Team Cup is.Here is the link to an oooooold article from Admin news. It describes the mechanics perfectly. Do not look at the dates, just at the diagrams and basic rules and achievements
Remember, the schedule for the next National Team Cup is:
Wednesday 22.01 16:00 - we will shuffle the teams
Thursday 23.01 16:00 - we will start the tournament
I will reopen the case. We thought we have fixed the problem. According to players like jakegate7 from Primera it still exists. I will update you on Twitter and FB.
As you have probably noticed we have a new option.
It was based on your suggestions from external sites. It was programmed to help certain players in their ingame work. It was also programmed as an ingame feature to avoid external sites crashes resulting from API changes.
Some players posted additional suggestions to it plus some bugs, they will be fixed soon. I will update you on FB and Twitter.
One of the next updates will bring a new premium feature.
The duration of 4 debuffs will be shortened by 50% for players using premium.
Those buffs are: Tank, Bunker, Sewer guide, Steroids.
How does it work:
You have premium:
You use a buff with 24h-72h debuff. When you already have premium the debuff will last for 24-48 hours.
If you buy premium during your debuff the debuff will dissapear.
We have a new team member – Kasia. She is responsible for our marketing strategies. Owing to this again I will have more time for the community. Remember, Kasia may sometimes contact you about some things like ad translation request etc. Help her!
According to your requests we have added this option. It is very easy, your browser will remember that you are logged in the game even after you leave the site.
This option was implemented by mistake. We removed it for now. When the time comes I will give you all the specifics. I will just say it is related with some gifts
Some time ago I had a meeting with the Polish players on IRC. BTW, it was professionally directed by Kalista and Kotera from Primera
Polish players asked me some questions about the game. Some means a lot in this case. I was happy to answer. If any other community would like to arrange such a meeting with me again I am open for suggestions.
According to your request we have added 2 new tabs – economical and trade.
We have renamed the “hydepark” tab to “fun” tab because it was natural for Polish players (in Polish forums hydepark threads are used to talk about things not related to the game) but it was confusing for other nationalities. Sorry for that.
We have also moved the hydepark (fun) tab to global.
That is all for now
In the next article I will inform you about the incoming wiki update
Stay tuned
Have a lovely day

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.
