As most of you have recently seen, the making of the past events have not been fair for everyone, the teams have been unfair, because the update itself was not perfected before put into use.
The World War:
In the world war the countries were made into teams based on their total damage the past week, and different countries have very varied damage over time, some countries do huge damage 1 week, then wait long to get money back, and some rich countries work at their maximum capacity almost every day. This was the reason why the next event (World Cup) was based on strength instead of weekly damage. Also, in the world war a huge amount of players switched teams between the drawing of teams and the actual war start, by changing citizenship, making the teams uneven
The World Cup:
To solve the problem with potential damage/normal damage for this event the team decided to make up teams based on countries strength, a fair idea since strength (with unlimited resources) show exactly how much damage a country can do, if well organised. But the teams were drawn in some pattern, split into groups by taking 8 top countries, split them into groups, then taking top 9-16 and split them into the same groups, taking country 17-24 etc.. Which makes the teams very uneven as we have seen in the past days, articles and first battle results.
The solution?!
* The teams need to be split into groups more fairly. First we need to split it into as close to even teams as we can possibly get (this would mean that the top1 country maybe only get matched with small countries, while the top8 country get matched with several top 15 countries..) And if you want to make this even more fair you can in adition to that add productivity into the calculation. Productivity show how much income a country get from job/product taxes, and as we all know, rich countries give a lot of supplies, while poor countries cant afford any supplies.
* The possiblity for players to change citizenship, especially after the teams are made needs to be removed. The teams are made with PTOers in their PTO-countries and if they wanna fight, they should have to stay there. Else a lot of teams lose almost all of their potential.
* Better annonciation, exactly when each battle will start, so people know when to buff/fight hard. Today it was unknown to everyone if the battles were about to start right after the first round was complete, 12 hours after that, 14:00 the next day. This is unfair since people can not know when they wanna be online to fight!
Would it be hard to make the teams even? Or is it just a lack of testing that resulted in these teams?
Anyhow I made up 8 of my own teams, it took me about an hour, but I'm sure a computer could do it faster. These teams can be seen in my next article: HERE !

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.
