In the last article I already talked a bit about consuming, which is closely related to maximizing your damage. There I stated that everyone should consume their salaries on food and guns, which is still the best option. Gifts require more work and raw materials, and producing them isn't as easy in the States as it is abroad (like in Lithuania or Switzerland).This is why it was stressed previously to focus consuming on food and weapons primarily.
If you have money to go around, and you are eager to spend towards fighting, you should definitely invest that money to Q3-Q4-Q5 food, and Q1 guns. If you have strength above 900, you should think about BH hunting. BH hunting is not really a way to train, because Q5 gifts cost quite much, but a way to have fun and in some cases increase your daily income. To do 50 hits with Q5 gifts, you pay 1.3g or something around it, and without guns, that money is wasted. Not even skill 8 workers earn 1.3g a day from work.Training must always be done with food and guns, like I adviced in my last article, because that is the cheapest way to do it.
Location, location, location... By being in right region, you get 20% bonus for your fights. You do a fifth more by simply moving once. If you can hit from your current location, you should have Q4 food or higher Q. Moving with Q1 ticket takes 40 health, which means 4 hits less. If you move once you lose 1/10 of hits but increase your damage, and save guns. One moving ticket costs less than three Q1 guns. If you have to move twice, to battlefield and back to home, you lose 80 health, which means 8 hits. If you have less than 41 hits, you don't win anything by moving. If you consume Q4 food and get 5 free hits, you increase your damage, and save several weapons.
Buying Q2 or higher tickets are not meaned to be used in train fights, and often not required to BH hunters either. Let's presume that Q2 ticket costs twice as much as one ticket, which could be 0.04g. If you pay 0.04g more to get one more hit, it's quite expensitive. If one hits with Q1 weapons, it costs almost 0.06g to get one gun hit more. By buying one Q1 gift, the increasing amount of hits by costs 0.04g, if one still uses Q1 guns for each hit. If you want to use higher Q tickets, you got to be BH hunting, and be almost sure you're eager to spend a lot of money to get 1-4 more hits. If you count that you would spend the money on higher Q guns, it's obvious that Q2-Q3 tickets with Q1 guns are more economic than buying Q2-Q3 guns and hitting those instead of Q1 guns.
What's BH hunting? How to hunt BHs? BH referrs to battle hero medal, which gives you 5g and makes you feel like Captain America. BH hunting cost you atleast the guns (1.9g-14g)and 1.85-2g for HP, which refers to health pack which is the name for 10 Q5 food and 10 Q5 gifts. You can buy HPs directly from strade or buy those separately. If you buy Q5 products from the market, you usually pay overprice.
In this chart we can see that it's barely stupid to buy Q2 or higher Q guns for training, but BH hunting is whole another case.
Normal BH in average battle is 400-500k. In really important battles it's some sort of miracle if you get BH under 650k and battles that aren't so important, aka drains, the BHs might be around 300k. If you want to have your first BH, be patient and wait until there's a battle after day change where nobody is hitting harder than you are going to hit. You can calculate your berserk damage from train section, where you can see damage with each Q gun. This damage is your damage without location bonus, without surrounded bonus, without military unit bonus and without defensive buildings. If you have any of these you simply multiply it with the damage. If you have several of these, you multiply them all together. For example:
Strenght 1285 Major General does without bonuses the following damages:
Now let's say the player has regular MU, location bonus and Q1 DS in the battle he's going to hit 102 times. The player wants to use Q2 guns to hunt BH, and spends 2 Q1 tickets to get to the region and back to the States after fighting abroad in drain war. Basic damage is 3813. Now we multiply 10% MU bonus, 20% location bonus and 5% DS bonus. 1.1*1.2*1.05*3813 mean that each hit will be 5284, and each berserk will be 5*5284=26420. 102 hits the player is doing are causing 538968 damage, which will probably be enough to get BH at the time most of the Europeans are sleeping or at battle that doesn't really matter at all.
How do you know if you could get BH? You just watch the battle. If you start watching the battle 5 minutes before the end, and you know your berserk damage and you total damage, you know if there's anyone stronger than you are. If there will be nobody at 2 minutes, you can start hitting, and if someone stronger than you will appear 1:10 or earlier, you can stop hitting and don't consume your gifts and guns, which you can use later trying to get BH some other day. There's no need to hit all you got to unimportant battle, even if you could. If the battle you are going to hunt is important and close one, you can switch to Q1 if there will be someone hitting much more than you do with the guns you are trying to get BH with.

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.
