So I've been sitting around on lots and lots of discord servers trolling , chatting and listening in to conversations (SPY alert kick me now). I've decided to sum up some of the major problems I've heard from players and that I myself have with Alpha.
As you all may have noticed by now there is a production debuff in place for multiple companies of the same type in the same region. In my opinion this is a great function and makes it necessary for countries to expand their territory. but the debuff of 5% per "active" company in each region is just way too much. The raw regions in the game are limited and with a 45-50% debuff in each region the prices of goods, specially weapons will still be too high for most normal non gold buyers to use actively. A 2-3% per company debuff would be a lot more acceptable for this server as we are playing in a permanent server.
Just about an hour ago
Under than shout a player commented about how Admin should go back and in Alpha only set RW's to be started by native citizens only because with 40 min rounds a country could do to sleep at night and wake up to find out they have lost a vital bridge or a high. This leaves the option for Admin to make a new event where maybe once a week on a set day anyone can start RW's or 3-4 days per month anyone can start RW's.
Too many events!! Yesterday we had a league, today a CUP and tomorrow the start of a MU cup. This leaves the second phase of the country cup running at the same time as round 3 of the MU cup aswell as having normal battles open the whole time. DO you think we have 3 PC's with 6 arms each ? :/
1. Add SC's for orgs where citizens can buy government bonds to help raise funds for countries.
2. Add contracts for SC's (LONG OVERDUE)
3. Add trade embargo laws stopping foreign citizens trading on market/currency
4. Add free trade agreements so that citizens of both countries who sign the agreement are excempt from import taxs
5. Allow people to remove their votes on shouts
6. Add the option for players to down vote shouts
7. Remove achievments that can't be gotten here
8. Fix the ingame chat so players don't always need to go to discord/irc to communicate with staff or to add a webchat type of function
That's it from me

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.
