Article
Welcome again, to the Continued Chronicles. As always, it's time to recap the server. Altho this will be more of a quick article, mostly focusing on the story because its more entertaining. The other stats, this time i didn't even bother taking animations, making this server the first one without them.
Article was made on Day 119, 21:00 ingame time.
Let's begin.
SERVER WINNER -
Serbia
This is Serbia's third victory in a temp and second in 4 servers, with the other one happening Chimera (Chimera - Versa - Epica - Unica), which ended in Mid-Late 2022. They have quickly become into a temp server powerhouse.
This Serbia broke the World Wipe tradition that was built 3 servers ago.
Updated Winner's Maps:
Serbia now has its own tier - 3 Wins - 1 WW club!

[NOTE - IF YOU THINK THIS IS WRONG PLEASE TELL ME]
So this is the main reason why i want to rush this article, because.. the main events of this server happened and ended in just under 3 weeks. and since i was there at the start, i know what happened.
So Unica was seen to be a giga farmville server, because by the tale end of Day 1, there was only ONE estabilished Military Unit: Indonesia's Golden Garuda, with every other big Military Unit being late bloomers (except Serbia's which began around Day 2). Because of this, almost all of the powerful players, myself included, thought the server was gonna be a walk in the park and, hillariously, thought it would simply turn to be another world wipe.
Boy how we were wrong.
Indonesia only had manpower and resources, but lacked everything else. First of all, the strategy was absolute trash, going for an initiative of "conquer everyone, no alliances" at the very beginning; other countries like Serbia actually wanted to be friendly with Indo, but Indo refused. Because of this, Indonesia had no allies whatsoever. And by Day 10, where the first war started, they were alone against the combined European powers of Serbia, Hungary, Turkey and Lithuania.
Second, Indonesia's Headquarters had a LOT of struggles and internal affairs, mostly because some members were too demanding and a portion of the founders suddenly disappeared into thin air, and during those problems, their main economic arm decided to separate from Indo and form what would now be the United States of America (later annexed into Serbia). needless to say, without economists, without HQ, and without morale, Indonesia collapsed as fast as it estabilished itself. it went from a high of 200 regions to 0 before the end of the 1st month. A few members survived and eventually joined up with Serbia.
Serbia and Hungary eventually became the dominating powers of the server, altho Hungary in particular always posed a challenge in tournaments to Serbia. But after the Indonesian empire, the entire server stayed allied to each other for whatever reason. There was a few major wars, the most notable of which was the American - Icelander war. Normally both countries were allied, but a dispute between their leaders got them into war. USA nearly wiped Iceland out but a tactical error in losing a core province led to Iceland gaining the upper hand, which led to the USA members losing activity. Eventually Iceland gained all of its provinces back.
Because the USA was slowly whittling away, they gave up all of their regions to Serbia, ending the existing war. Things stayed relatively calm.. until the literal advent of the final week.
There was a final conflict that arose during the final week, between Serbia and Hungary. Hungary decided to give a bunch of Icelanders citizenship for Server Winner 2, something that potentially angered Serbia, but the nail in the coffin was Lithuania attacking Serbia to delay an attack, which led into a 1 week conflict between primarily both of them. The eventual punishment for this action is that Hungary is completely denied of any core attacks during the final weeks, leading to the entire core country being surrounded by Serbia. This was around Day 115 when it ended, so not even 4 days left when they pulled the crazy move.
Well, another country with a big damage record, even though this is 800 billion less than previous server's winner (altho lets be fair last server was a World Wipe)
Serbia as a whole accounts for 69.43% of the entire Unica damage, which is quite impressive.
Total XP of Unica compared to previous server was 120,000 XP less.
Serbia itself accounts for 31.49% of the entire server's XP; which means this server had a wide variety of different nations this time.
I swear to freakin if the damage record has been beaten again i-
...wait.
Okay phew, that's a relief. i don't have to go into overdrive anymore.
But considering my prediction from last time, im surprised this wasn't higher. this was only half of what i expected! Maybe because the bonus week was shorter than last server, but i digress.
Yours truly? eh i didn't do great, only hitting 18kkk. but still decent.
The general rank stats:
People reaching 5kkk (Deus) Rank: 65 (-14 to Epica)
People reaching 10kkk (Deus Imperialis) Rank: 43 (-8 to Epica)
People hitting 20kkk dmg; 31 (+2 to Epica)
People hitting 30kkk dmg: 23 (+1 to Epica)
Over 50kkk Club: 14 (-1 to Epica)
The big difference with this graph is that most of the top XPs compared to last server have significantly dropped. This is actually a good thing, because it means a bigger active playerbase was concentrated in Unica instead of a concentrated one.
After all, their XPs were similar, but Epica's had a 100k advantage individually.
Since this was not a World Wipe server, other crews had a chance to shine, which is displayed in here. At their peak, Golden Garuda outdamaged all other Military Units by atleast 4 times, but completely disappeared like mentioned. It took both Povratak Otpisanih and Its Me MUs 20-30 extra days to catch up to their preestabilished damage. Povratak Otpisanih's highest dmg of 1.85 Trillion is 385 billion less than previous server's MU winner.
And that's it, Unica has concluded.
I would like to take this moment to congratulate everyone who has participated this server. No matter if people keep on screaming if the server is dead or alive, all of you who stayed until the very end should feel proud. It's not about the expectations, it's about the adventure you have built. to everyone of the participating countries, congratulations, and good luck in the future.

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.
