长达41年的战争结束了,西班牙与荷兰终于在1609年达成脆弱的和平。相当一部分荷兰的富裕省份如尼德兰从此获得了独立,荷兰人在战争中成长起来。为了对抗当时欧洲最强大的西班牙方阵,荷兰人在摩利士将军(Maurice of Nassau)的领导下,加速完成骑兵部队的改建。为数1200人的11个支队全部换装热兵器,8个支队使用手槍,3个支队使用火绳枪,重甲骑兵甚至放弃了长矛。这种革新在1597年的Turnhout战役中取得了回报,依然使用骑枪和长戟的西班牙人被打得溃不成军。
为了保卫他"神赋的君权",1642年8月查理一世在诺丁汉召集他的军队,他的外甥,莱茵的鲁普特亲王(Prince Rupert of Rhine 1619-1682)来到英国,带着八个骑兵连,总共五百人。于是他被任命为骑兵的总指挥官。早在1618年,三十年战争在大陆肆虐的时候,古斯塔夫二世的骑兵战术运用显示了极大的优越性,为各国所接受和效仿。鲁普特曾经在瑞典军队中服过役,于是把这些实用的技巧带到英国。
在埃吉山失利后,克伦威尔这么告诉汉普顿上校:"你的部队都是些残兵败卒,……所以你首先应使部队具有精神,否则失败是毫无疑问的。"(Your troopers are most of them old decayed sevingmen and tapsters and such kind of fellows… You must get men of a spirit that is likely to go as far as gentlemen will go, or else I am sure you will be beaten still…)
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.
"E-Sim is one of the most unique browser games out there"
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.
Its 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.
