Having recruited for several days now, it has become clear that there is a serious aversion to communing – or, working in the military unit’s companies for minimal salary (typically 1 of the local currency). Some question how they are supposed to make money on their own; others may think they are better off going it alone. To help explain why MUs are set up this way, and specifically why The Golden Company is set up this way, we’ve brought in a special correspondent:
1. Younger players receive more benefit than working for market salary.
Looking at The Golden Company ’s current daily rations, each member communing receives 10 Q5 food, 20 Q1 weapons, and 2 Q1 tickets. The #strade value of these items is about 1 gold per day. Looking at the current job markets, in the US you would get approximately 0.64 gold per day (after income tax) as an economy skill 5 player in the highest paying job and approximately 0.75 gold per day (after income tax) as an economy skill 6 player in the highest paying job. This means that at current levels, you are making about as much as an economy skill 8 player after taxes. You might ask yourself “well, aren’t I doing worse off once I reach level 8 economy skill?” – the short answer is yes, but that is only half of the answer. The money you are losing is going toward the lower level MU members so that the MU can grow powerful as a whole, which may lead to better supply relationships from the U.S. government, or allied governments, in the future.
2. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The Golden Company ’s goals are to continue to expand in an effort to get members ever-improving daily supplies. The more people that join, the better supplies will be. As we work together, our daily supplies improve for everyone – eventually expanding out to full HP daily, and weapons to boot. Further, as our collective strength grows alongside our membership and daily rations, our ability to earn increased or subsidized supplies from the government or its allies greatly improves. Together, we can be a force to be reckoned with – one with the ability to swing the tide of a round of battle in the blink of an eye.
3. The Golden Company leadership subscribes to the concept.
There is no bigger fear in my mind that the MU leadership will use their commune members to profit themselves. All MU leadership get exactly the same supplies as the newest member of the MU. Further, we all put every cent and every bar of gold we earn back into the MU. Because the MU does not run a profit, but rather solely produces supplies for membership, the gold from medals and leveling is the only way we can expand. Most of our members already send everything they earn to the MU – that sense of camaraderie and belief in the direction of the MU is how we’ve been able to expand supplies to our current levels, and how we will continue to improve those supplies over time.
Now that you understand why we are set up the way we are, set aside your fears and join us to help make The Golden Company one of the strongest MUs in the country.

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.
