Before we start with the usuall "do this - do that", i want to give you some informations about what ice-apple is, and how does it stands out from the other games of same genre.
Ice-apple is a game from the virtual social simulator category, which allows you to create a character, customize it to some extent, and participate in several areas of the game, or modules:
- social
- economic
- political
- military
What ice-apple offers you, is, before all, a cost-free experience. Yes, we do offer some items for sale, as the server and game development needs money, and no one will pay out of his pocket to offer other a product or an experience, but these items do not offer any major advantages. You can play the game and be competitive without ever spending 1 cent.
If you played this type of games before, then probably this tutorial is not for you. If you are new to online simulators, you will find in this article some guidelines to help you start you experience in iceapple world.

You can also acces your edit profile option by clicking on the image indicated below:

After you finished setting up your profile, lets see what else can you find on your profile page. There are several distinct panels here.
Achievements
This section contains all the medals that are available throughout the game, and how many of each one you have gained:
You can read more about medals in tutorial here.
Trophy
This section is reserved for trophies.
You can win trophies from tournament events, which are held periodically, or you can buy them from people who won them at these events.
Trophies have 3 usages:
- upgrade your buddy to level 2 - For this, you need to own 1 trophy. Once you have 1 trophy, your buddy will upgrade automatically to level 2.
- upgrade your buddy to level 3. You can do that on edit - profile page, as shown before in this article.
- you can sell them for a good amount of gold or trade them for special items.
You can not sell/donate your only trophy. You need at least 2 in order to be able to give one away. More simply put, if you have just one trophy, you are stuck with it.
Account info panel
This panel shows various informations about your account progress and assets:
1 - General info tab - here you can see your current level of XP (5), energy (6), strength (7), military rank (8) and bars that show progress till next level.
2 - Companies tab - contains informations about all your companies and links to each one.
3 - Donations - here is a list of donations made and received by your account. To view them click on this tab, then click on Show donations.
4 - Friends - a list of all your friends.
9 - this is a bar for your True Patriot medal. It shows your progress till your next medal. If you change your citizenship, this bar will reset to zero but the level in damage required for your next medal will not. This is a measure against gold farming.
Example: In the image above, the player has done 242.43 mil damage for USA and the next TP level is set at 242.55 mil damage. But, since he changed citizenship to current Morocco, you can see that damage bar reseted, but next level is still at 242.55 milion.
However, if you return to a country where you previously did a lot of damage, your TP progress will resume from the point where you were before you left that country.
Example: as shown in the image above, the player did 242.43 mil. damage for USA. If at any point he takes back USA citizenship, his TP level will resume from that point.
10 - top 4 damage done for your previous countries
Activity panel
Then, we have the Activity panel. Here, depending on your degree of involvement in game mechanics, you have direct links to several activity areas :
- your employee company
- your political party
- your newspaper
- your military unit
- your alliance - if you hold a position in alliance HQ
- your corporation - if you hold a position in corporation HQ
Accounts panel
It holds informations about total count of gold in your account, and it also shows top 3 currency you posses, by amount. If you want to see all currencies you posses, just click on Show more
Now you are done with setting up your profile.
Like in real life, in ice world also you need currency to develop your character. One of these currencies and also the most important one, is the gold. You can buy anything in the game with gold, and also you need it for performing different activities.
Gold is useful for following things:
- creating a company
- buying a company
- upgrading a company
- creating a corporation
- building an uranium mine
- upgrading your storage, your training ground
- creating a newspaper
- founding a party
- founding a military unit
- buying various items
- starting wars
- starting resistance wars
and some others. Basically, gold is needed in every aspect of the game, and also it can buy you anything that is for sale in the game.
You will gain gold by following ways:
- raise your experience level
- win a medal
- exchange your currency into gold at monetary market
- sell products from your companies
- degrade your companies
- from corporations
- sell special items you can buy with coins
- donations from other players
- from your referalls
- quests
Currency also means your home country's national currency. You can get currency from:
- working daily at your job
- selling items on market
- donations from other players
- grants from your neswpaper
- exchange gold into currency at monetary market
TIP - this is a war oriented game, and the most important atributte is your strength, so save your gold for upgrading training ground first. That is of course, unless you wanna choose an career in economic module.
In your stats panel, situated on the left side of the page, you can see how many gold you have in your account and how much currency from the country you are residing in, NOT your home country:
To see all currencies you possess and in what amount, go to profile page. There you can see in this order:
- amount of gold in your account
- amount of currency from your citizenship country
- 2 more currencies starting with the highest amount
- rest of your available currencies, if any, you can view by clicking on Show more
Energy is one of the most important elements in the game. It will always be a number between 0 and 100. It is important to remember that energy is not unlimited, you can recover it daily up to some limits
You will lose energy by performing these tasks:
- work - it will consume 10 energy, regardless of your level or the quality and the company you work for

Food - depending on its quality, it will restore an amount of energy. Quality is represented by the number of orange-filled stars that accompany each item. Also, you can see that by placing your mouse cursor on it.
- quality 1 food - restores 2 energy points every time you used it. This type of food can be consumed every 5 minutes, all day long, without any limit restrictions.
- quality 2 food - restores 4 energy points every time you use it. This type of food can be consumed every 15 minutes all day long, without any limit restrictions.
Consuming both q1 and q2 food is subject to random captcha challenge. From time to time, randomly, you will be asked to solve a captcha to avoid use of automated scripts.
- quality 3 food - restores 6 energy points every time you use it. This type of food can be consumed only in your daily limits.
- quality 4 food - restores 8 energy points every time you use it. This type of food can be consumed only in your daily limits.

All levels of gifts can be consumed only in your daily limits: 15 gifts daily for regular users and 20 gifts daily for scroll users.
3.
Apples - are special items that once consumed will restore your energy to 100 instantly. Be very carefull when you use apples, cause they will consume themselves and restore your energy to 100 regardless of your current energy level. That is why, each time you want to use one, you will need to confirm it by choosing yes or no in a small prompt window thats is generated by the server.
Daily limit for apples is 2 for regular users and 4 for scroll users.
4.
Hospital - can be used once a day to recover an amount of energy. This amount of energy depends on level of the hospital:

- quality 2 hospital - recovers 20 energy
- quality 3 hospital - recovers 30 energy
- quality 4 hospital - recovers 40 energy
- quality 5 hospital - recovers 50 energy
Hospital traits:
- can be used only by players who are located in the same region as the hospital.
- can be used only by players who have the citizenship of the country where hospital is located
- It has a limited number of usages - 1000. after that, it will disappear, and you need to implement new one
- can be implemented in any region of a country, by anyone, regardless of citizenship or quality level
- only one hospital can be implemented in one region
- there can be a hospital in every region of a country
- if a region with a hospital is lost to an atacker, the hospital is destroyed.
5.
House - can also be used once a day, and, same as for hospitals, it will recover an amount of energy, depending on its level:
- quality 1 house - recovers 20 energy
- quality 2 house - recovers 40 energy
- quality 3 house - recovers 60 energy
- quality 4 house - recovers 80 energy
- quality 5 house - recovers 100 energy
House traits:
- it has a limit number of usages - 30. After that, it will disappear and you will need another one
- after you buy it, you need to activate it from your inventory in order to use it. You can activate one house only
- make sure you have consumed your energy before using the house. It will consume its daily turn when you press use even regardless of your energy level and house level. For example, if you have 99 energy and a q5 house, if you press use, it will take you to 100 energy, and be done for the day.
To be able to recover your energy, you need to acces the consume page, by clicking on the energy bar
where
- 1 indicates your curent level of energy
- 2 indicates maximum energy level.
You will be redirected to page that can look like this:
- shows your daily consum limits for food, gifts and apples
- recovery button for energy using q5 food
- recovery button for energy using q5 gifts
- use House
- use Hospital
- use apples
To use your chosen mean of replenishing energy, just press the button next to it. There are few thing to mention about using quality 5 food and gifts. As seen in the image above, Use button is replaced by Recovery button, which will refill automatically your energy up to 90, and consume the needed amount of food/gifts in the process. The Recovery button is visible only if your energy is bellow 90. When your energy is 90+, Recovery will be replaced by normal Use button, to avoid consumption of an q5 item for recovering less then 10 energy.
Training is the process of increasing your strenght which is one of the most important stats in the game. The higher your strength is, the bigger your damage per hit is, and the higher your total amount of damage done in a battle.
In order to train, you need to go to your training grounds. You can do that in three different ways:
- click on strength bar in the left stats panel
- click on Train in the Missions panel, Daily Task section
- go to main menu to MY PLACES - Train
Whatever option you choose, it will redirect you to training ground page. For a new player, it looks like this :

As you can see there are 2 separated places for you to train. We will explain both.
1. TRAINING GROUNDS aka TG
- is your default training area.
- you can use it each day to train with the same amount of strength points
- you can use it only once a day
- number of strength points available depends on the level of your TG.
- energy amount consumed in the training process depends on the level of your TG
For a new player, training ground looks like this and it provides some informations:
- level of your training grounds - every green star means a level
- number of experience you will receive for using grounds
- amount of energy you will lose using grounds
- number of strength points you will receive
- train button
- upgrade button
- cost of upgrade to next level
As you can see on the image above, you have an upgrade button, and the cost of that upgrade. There are 5 levels of TG and 4 upgrade steps:
- TG level 1 - this is default for all new accounts. It gives you 1 strength point, 1 XP point and consumes 10 energy
- TG level 2 - upgrade to this costs 20golds. It gives you 2 strength points, 1 XP point and consumes 8 energy
- TG level 3 - upgrade to this costs 30 golds. It gives you 3 strength points, 1 XP point and consumes 6 energy
- TG level 4 - upgrade to this costs 40 golds. It gives you 4 strength points, 1 XP point and consumes 4 energy
- TG level 5 - upgrade to this costs 50 golds. it gives you 5 strength points, 1 XP point and consumes 2 energy.
TIP: There is no downgrade option and there is no confirmation message for upgrade. If you push the upgrade button, it will automatically subtract gold from your account. So, make sure this is want you want to do.
Just so you understand better this differences, here is how a default and a maximum level training grounds look like:

2. BOXING RING
- here you can improve your strength points by using gloves
- in order to use gloves and transform them into strenght, push the Sparring button
- you can use boxing ring to train everytime you acquire gloves
- for each glove you consume in sparring process you also receive 1 XP point
- for each glove you consume in sparring process you lose 1 energy point
- you cant use sparring button if you have less energy the the amount of gloves, you need equal or more energy
- you can store as many gloves as you want
- however, if you have more then 100 gloves stored, you need to be at 100 energy to use the sparring button, and it will automatically use all energy and consume 100 gloves
To better understand this concepts, lets take a practical example and assume we have 9 gloves in inventory, and take a look at boxing ring panel and the information it provides:
- number of experience points you will receive for sparring
- number of strength points you will receive
- amount of energy you will lose
- number of gloves you will use
- sparring button.
Both panels - for Training grounds and Boxing ring, give you these informations in advance. After you press the train/sparring button, you will be shown again all these info inf the form of some small panells.
2.1. How can you acquire gloves:
- collect reward from completing Daily Order.
- collect rewards from all levels of the Iceberg Drift
- from quests.
- from Buddy - Buddy tutorial here.
- from helms.
Helms is a concept introduced to help young players develop faster and for that reason helms can only be donated to players with strength 3500 max, and can be used only by them. When you donate them, they will transform in gloves for the receiving player, and then he can use them to improve strength by sparring.
Helms can be obtained from:
- buddy level q3
- colecting reward for levels A, B and D on Iceberg Drift
- quests.
2.2. How can you transform helms into gloves:
- use our helms exchange bot: I A Robot - simply donate the amount of helms you want to this account, and gloves will be added to your boxing ring automatically.
- look in market feed for players that are selling/buying/trading helms
- trade works like this: you have an amount of helms, and you find another player with same amount in inventory. Then you both donate helms to each other and at the end, you both have now gloves you can use.
- beware that these kind of direct transactions between players are not guaranteed or safe guarded by game administration, and you proceed with them on your own risk.
You can store as many gloves as you like. But beware that if you have 100 gloves stored, you can not receive anymore helms donations.
Working is a big part of your life in ice world, because without work it is imposible to gain currency and supplies.
This tutorial has 2 sections - how to get a job and how to actually work.
So, how can you get a job? There are several ways to do that:
1. Go to Market - Job market and there you can see a list of available jobs offers from your country:
Here you can view all job offers from your country, ordered by the value of given salary, from highest to lowest. If you want, you have the option to add some filters like :
- select level - usually, all jobs in ice world are offered for all levels, so tempering with this filter will not give you any different results
- select quality - this refferes to the level of the company that offers the job.
- select country - if you wish to view the offers posted in other countries
Keep in mind some guidelines:
- you can apply for any offer posted by a company in any country, regardless of your citizenship, BUT you have to be located in that country in order to be able to do it
- you can not resign from a company in the same day you applied for it. In this case, same day means an server day, not 24 hours.
- you have to be located in your employer's home country when you want to work
- you need 10 energy to be able to work, for all levels of companies
- level of your energy doesnt affect your productivity
- after you press work, your salary will be automatically added to your account
2. You can work in your own companies - this is an option i do not recommand to new players, because you need to grasp all the knowledge about game mechanics and economy trends before you can start an succesful bussiness.
3. You can negociate directly with company owners - for that you can use the Market Feed from the shouts panel, to either let people know you are looking for a job, or see who offers a job and contact that individual.
4. You can work in your Military Unit companies - this is a widely practice in ice world. You join an military unit, get a job on their companies for a minimum wage, and you receive an amount of diferent supplies on daily/weekly bases, depending on your agreement.
How to work
Now that you have a job, you can work, only once a day. Your production result depends on two factors:
- your experience level
- production bonuses.
There are 3 production bonuses that can be activated:
- National productivity bonus - can be activated by Country President or Minister of Economy (if the Country President empoweres him to do it) - costs 20 uranium units.
- Daily manager bonus - there are 3 bonuses that can be activated by the company manager (owner). During a day, you can choose only one to activate, and only once per day.
- Corporation bonus - can be activated by a corporation Human Resources Manager, if the company is a part of a corporation. There are 2 bonuses and HR can activate only one of them and only once a day, each one with its cost in gold.
In order to maximize your production, it is best to work when all posible bonuses are active.
One can see if and what bonuses are active for the company he/she works for, by going to the employer's page. Any active bonuses will be shown on the company's logo, like in the example below:
- National productivity bonus
- Daily manager bonus
- Corporation bonus
HINT: These are bonuses that CAN be activated, it doesnt mean they ARE MANDATORY.
Scroll users can activate alerts for each bonus activation, making it easier to track the optimal work period.
Non scroll users will have to reach an agreement with the managers on how to be notified about it.
All bonuses can be activated only once during an ice apple day.
To actually work, you need to go to your employer's page. For that you can:
- click on Work from your Daily Task panel
- go to your profile page, and click on the company logo from your Activity panel
Either way, you will be redirected to your empoyer's page, where you can press Work to complete the job.
After you press work button, you will be given some informations about the task you just performed:
- experience gained
- salary received
- number of days you worked since you start playing the game
- energy you lost in process
- number of items produced
- amount of raw material consumed in the work process
Productivity
If you wish you check your productivity level during past days, go to employer page and click on the button indicated by the arrow in the image bellow:
A new page with company employees will open. To check your productivity click on the button indicated in the image bellow:
In Ice Apple, you can donate money and objects to your friends or another player.
If you want to donate to another player, go on his profile and click on the icon indicated by the arrow above. Then you can choose what you want to donate: items, special items, money, gold, even trophies. You can donate any item that exists in your inventory except Coins, no matter if its final products, raw materials or special items. All you need to do is choose the item, then the amount and click donate
If you want to donate money or gold, its the same. Select the currency you want, or gold, type in the amount and press donate.
There are 2 category of items that have special donations rules:
- gold - there is a limit for daily gold donations: 30 gold for regular players and 80 golds for player that have scrolls activated. After you reached this limit you have to wait 24 hours to be able to donate again. Day change doesnt reset it.
- scrolls - if you want to donate a scroll, you need to buy the 3x pack. Single scrolls cant be donated.
You can also donate trophies you won or bought, in similar way. Just type the number of trophies you want to give away and press donate
There is a catch here also. You can not donate your last trophy. So, if you have only one trophy, you can donate it.
Sometimes it will be necessary to move to either another region of your country, or to a different country. The two processes are quite similar, and there are 2 ways of completing them:
- the old fashioned way - requires a few more clicks, but it has the advantage of giving you detailed info's about the regions you want to move into;
- fast travel option.
Moving residence to another region of your country
To do that go to Country page, and make sure you have the Society tab checked, as indicated by the arrow in the image below. It is the default tab when you open the Country page, but remember that.
Further down this page you have a list with all the regions your country owns. Select the one you wish to move to, and press Details button
Following that, you will be redirected to another page, where a series of informations about that particular region are displayed:
- number of players in the region
- number of companies located in the region
- level of the hospital installed in the region, if any - no yellow star means there is no hospital installed
- level of the defense shield installed in the region if any - no yellow star means there is no defense shield installed
- each yellow star means a level for hospital or shield. Informations about installed items can be seen also by placing your mouse cursor on the stars.
In this example, you can see there is no hospital installed in this region, but there is an Q5 defense shield installed:
In order to move, select a ticket, then press Move. Moving process will consume some energy, depending on the ticket you use:
- ticket quality 1 will consume 10 energy
- ticket quality 2 will consume 5 energy
To move to another region belonging to your country you reside in, you can use only q1 and q2 tickets.
You dont need to check in inventory if you have them. The drop menu shows you the number of tickets that will be used in the process and, in brackets, the amount of tickets of each quality existing in your inventory. Also, only the usable tickets will be shown. So, in the case above, if you want to move into another region on your current country, this menu will display only Q1 and Q2 tickets, even if you have other quality levels tickets in storage.
HINT: By default, the game will prompt you to use the best ticket available in your storage for your chosen action, from the point of view of energy consumption. In this case, you will be prompt to use an Q2 ticket, as it will consume only 5 energy.
Moving residence to another country
Like i said is quite similar process. Again go to Country page. Then, press on the flag
This will open a list of all countries from Ice Apple world
Choose the country you want to move to, click on it, and you will be redirected to its country page. Then repeat all the steps listed in first section of this tutorial.
There is a difference thou. In order to move to another country, you need to use q3, q4 or q5 tickets:
- ticket quality 3 will consume 10 of your energy
- ticket quality 4 will consume 5 of your energy
- ticket quality 5 will move you without any energy consumption.
HINT: By default, the game will prompt you to use the best ticket available in your storage for your chosen action, from the point of view of energy consumption. In this case, you will be prompt to use an Q5 ticket, as it will consume zero energy.
Fast travel moving
As i said in the begining of this tutorial, you have also the fast travel option. To use this feature, go to your profile page, where you can see this panel:

- drop menu with list of countries. First in this list is your current residence country, then all the rest in alphabetical order.
- drop menu with list of all regions belonging to the country you selected. These are ordered alphabeticaly. If you select the region you are already located in, when you try to move, the server will block the action and display an error message.
- drop menu with tickets that can be used to complete the moving process. Few things to remember here:
- this menu will show you only the tickets from your inventory that can be used. If you try to move to another region of your current country, it will display only the Q1 and Q2 tickets from your inventory, even if you have other quality level tickets in storage. If you try to move to another country, it will display only tickets level Q3, Q4 and Q5 from your inventory.
- the game will promt you to use the best ticket available in your storage for the selected action, from the point of view of energy consumption. So, if you want to move to another region of your current country, it will prompt you to use a Q2 ticket, provided you have it in inventory. If you want to move to another country, it will prompt you to use a Q5 ticket, even if you have also Q3 and Q4 in inventory. Of course, you can click on the menu, and choose another option, if it suits you.
- also, you can see in this menu the number of tickets that will be consumed in the process, and, in brackets, the amount of tickets in your storage.
To apply for a different citizenship, you need to go to Country page:
- Option 1 - acces it from main game : COUNTRY - Country
- Option 2 - click on the flag icon next to you name in the left stats panel
You will be redirected to your citizenship country page where you need to click on the icon flag indicated below:
This will open a list of all the countries from IceApple
Choose the country who's citizen you want to become, then move to one of its region. If you dont know how to move, read moving tutorial.
For example, lets say i want to move to Romania. After i moved to Romania, i go to Country page again, click on Society tab, then pres on View requests
You will be redirected to another page where you can apply for citizenship:
After you applied for citizenship, you do not have to remain in the region, nor even the country. You can move anywhere you want, and you will receive an alert if your citizenship is accepted or rejected.
If you want to cancel your application, you go back to same page and click the Cancel button
YOU CAN NOT cancel your application to another country if you are located in a region of your CURRENT CITIZENSHIP country. In order to be able to see the Cancel button, you need to move to any region of any country besides your current citizenship.
IF you want to change citizenship, follow all the steps, but there is no Apply buton, its because you do not meet all the requirements for it:
- you cant have any position in your current country goverment
- you cant be a congressman in your current country
- you cant be the president of your current country
- you cant be member of a party

Given the dinamic of these genre of games, its very hard to almost imposible for a new player to win Battle Hero medal, when there are players much older and stronger.

There are four criteria types:
- your in-game birthday is earlier then 120 days ago
- level is less then 20
- military rank is less then Colonel
- strength is less then 2500

Taxes. Everyone hates them, and yet you cant escape them even in ice world. But, they are vital for the economy, as they give countries funds.
Taxes can be proposed/modified by country congress and country president, for each economy branch, as a law and it needs to pass the voting procedure.
To see taxes level for a specific country, you need to go to that country's page and press the Economy tab. For the porpouse of this tutorial, lets taxe as example the taxes level from USA:
You will be redirected to a new page where you can see all taxes level:
On the left you can see all products subject to taxes, then tax level for each one. Each product type can be taxed at a different level, by proposing a law.
Work Tax - this tax is payed when you work.
Example: you took a job at a weapon company and your employer gives you a sallary of 100 cc. As we see in the table above, work tax in USA for weapons companies is 1%. When you work, your employer will see 100 cc removed from his company account. From those 100 cc, 99 will go into your account and 1 cc wil go into country account
VAT - Value Added Tax - You pay it each time that you want to trade something on the market. VAT is also payed by company managers that want to take out products from their companies to their storage by direct deal.
Example: VAT for weapons in US is 1%. If i want to sell weapons on this market for the price of 10 cc per weapon, when someone buys one weapon, 9 cc will go to my company account and 1 cc to country account.
This example is given for selling on your domestic market. If you wish to sell on foreign markets, remember to take in consideration the import tax.
When you set up the price for your products, keep in the mind the server adds the VAT tax after you place the offer on the market. So, in the example above and for US tax level, if you set up a price of 10 cc per weapon, on the market your offer will be 10.10 cc. If you want to have your products on market at 10 cc, then you set a price for 9.9 cc.
Import Tax - tax you pay if you want to sell products on foreign markets.
Example: a foreign company want to sell weapons on US market for the price of 20 cc. US import tax for weapons is 1%. Every time he sells a weapon he will receive 19.8 cc and 0.2 cc will go into US account.
Corporation Tax - this is a tax payed for every operation you want to undertake in an corporation. Its set between 1 to 30 %, by congress law. As this is a complex topic, you can read more about it in the corporation tutorial.
Agent Shop is a special market branch defined by some special characteristics:
- you can sell high valued items here
- you can sell special items you aquiered with coins here
- you can set the price in gold only
- you can place only items from your personal storage, you cant add items directly from companies
- maximum number of items you can have for sale at one given time is 10 - 20 for scroll users
- it has a tax apllied to goods placed on it
This tax needs some explaining and these are important guidelines to remember:
- for every product placed for sale on Agent Shop there is a fix tax applied, of 5% of your asking price.
- this tax is not added to the asking price, it is SUBTRACTED FROM YOUR ACCOUNT in the moment you click to add item on sale.
- when/if you remove the item from agent shop, you WILL NOT GET THAT TAX BACK.
- this tax will be payed EACH time you add an item, even if you took it back from the market then place it again
Example: if i want to sell a scroll for 100 gold, the moment i click add, server will take 5 gold from my account. Next day, if i remove it from agent shop, i will not get 5 gold back. If i place it again on agent shop, again the server will take another 5 gold from my account.
Then why should you use agent shop? Safe transactions. Considering we are talking about high valued items, and the fact that game administration will not get involved in deals made between players by direct donations, its a safe way to sell those items.
To go to Agent Shop, click on Market - Agent Shop:

- can name and/or change the other 2 corporation oficials

- can initiate law to change CEO
- can propose premium fees to corporation officials

COO - Chief Operating Officer
He is in charge of colecting uranium from the mine. He can do that not more then 8 times during a day, and with a minim interval of one hour between. He has also the option to resign his position within the corporation at any given moment.
There are some rules regarding these positions:
- you can be CEO in multiple corporations
- CEO can not appoint himself as HR or COO
- one player can hold only one HR position and only one COO position, but not in the same corporation
- you can not appoint 2 persons for HR or COO within 24 hours period - meaning, if you appoint someone as HR, and for some reason, he resignes after just 3 hours, you can not appoint someone else for HR position until 24 hours have passed since the last similar action.
- if CEO is changed, automatically, all the other officials are sacked.
IMPORTANT things to consider and remember before you decide to found a corporation:
- You can found as many corporations as you wish, as long as you have the funds.
- You must own at least 1 company to create the corporation
- Only private companies can be used to found a corporation. State-owned companies do not qualifiy.
- Companies that are already members in a corporation can not be used to found another one.
- You do not have to move in a region/country to found the corporation, just choose it from the list
- Corporation must have a minimum of 3 members in order to function - meaning you can found it, but it order to be able to complete its functions, you need 2 more members at least.
- Maximum numbers of members a corporation can have is 7.
- One company can hold shares only in one corporation
- YOU CAN NOT disolve a company that hold shares in a corporation. You need to transfer/sell those shares first.
- Company owners can vote in corporations decisions - number of votes a owner have depends on the shares his company holds. A corporation has 10 packs of shares, each pack containing 10%. For each pack you own, you get one vote.
- For ALL activities in your corporation, there is a tax. In most cases, the tax level from the country in which your corporation HQ is situated applies. The exception is the tax for your (if any) uranium mine - level of tax applied here is the one set from the country that holds the region where your mine is located.
- if you sell one of your companies, and it has shares in a corporation, the buyer will also take over the shares, and thus, become member of that corporation. SO make sure and double check when you sell a company. To avoid this, just sell company shares to other members, or transfer them to another company from your portofolio (provided that it is also a corporation member)
- KEEP IN MIND that allmost all laws in an corporation can be adopted only by voting sessions. And the player who controls the majority of shares, controls the corporation. So be very carefull whom do you invite in your corporation, and who you give shares to, as you might lose control of your own corporation if a CEO change is proposed and you dont have the majority of votes to counter it.
Most of these rules are explained in detail in the Corporation Management tutorial.

If a voting ends up beeing a tie, the law will fail to pass.
And finally, you have another panel where you can see active voting sessions, past voting proposals and how they turned out, and acts history in the corporation. Just click on each tab, to check them out.
To start the procedure of inviting a company into your corporation, you need to go to corporation Office panel. I will assume that if you are here, you already know how to get there, so i will not bore you by explaining it. If you dont know, read about it in the Corporation Management tutorial.
Once you openned the Office panel, you can initiate the procedure of inviting a company from the Voting menu, as shown in the image bellow:
To start, just click on Invite company.
Here, corporation members can propose a law to invite an company outside the corporation to join it by selling some shares to that company. The member who makes the invitation, can sell only shares from his portofolio.
Example: I have 2 companies A and B as members in X corporation. X corporation has another member, Y, who controls 3 companies in the corporation. If i want to invite another company, i can sell shares only from my companies, A and B, i cant offer Y's shares. And the same goes for Y.
STEP 1 - make the proposal
Procedure:
- type company ID
- choose amount of shares that will be sold to that company - you can choose multiple of 10 % share packs, with 10% beeing minimum and 90% maximum amount. Make sure the % shares you propose to sell doesnt exceed your stack of shares, otherwise you will receive an error and have to start the process again
- chose the company from who's portofolio shares will be sold - you can sell only shares belonging to your companies, which will be available for selection in the drop menu
- type the asking price for the transaction - minimum price that can be set is 100 gold. When you set the price keep in mind that 50% of this sum, when payed, will be taken by the server, then, the other 50% will be the subject of the corporation tax, and the rest will be directed into corporation account. The corporation tax that is applied is the one from the country where HQ of the corporation is located
Example: I want to sell 10% of my corporation, with HQ in Moscow to X company, located in Bucharest. Russia has a corporation tax of 10%. Romania has a corporation tax of 5%. My asking price is 100 gold. If the company owner accepts the transactions, 50 gold will be retain by game server, which leaves me with 50 gold. To these 50 gold, the corporation tax from Russia will be applied: 10% from 50 gold is 5 gold. Which leaves me with the final ammount of 45 golds that will end up in corporation account.
- press Start to launch the voting procedure.
STEP 2 - voting the proposal.
After the invitation is made, there is a 24 hour voting window, in which all members of the corporation can vote pro or against the proposal.
Number of votes each member has depends on the amount of shares he holds. For every 10% of corporation shares owned, you receive 1 vote. So, if you hold for example 70% of shares, you have 7 votes.
When you choose to vote pro or against the law, all your votes will be taken into consideration. You cant split your votes.
Procedure:
- the active proposal/law can be viewed by any member in the Active Voting panel - you can see type of the law, number of votes pro/against and the date and time when voting window closes. Remember that number of votes depends on amount of shares, so, if you see for example 3 votes pro, it doesnt mean that 3 people have voted, it can mean that only one member with 30% shares has voted.
- click on the green raw to expend the window and express your vote - here you have some detailed informations about the law: who proposed it, time left until it voting closes, link to the invited company page (click on the avatar to acces it), amount of shares that will be sold, the price of the transaction, and the vote buttons.
- you have to wait untill all members of the corporation have voted, or untill 24 hour window closes - at any given time during these 24 hours, you can check the progress of the law. In the example bellow, all share holders have voted, and you can see their avatars and stack of shares. If not all the members have voted in the 24 hour window, the server will take in consideration only the expressed votes to either pass or deny the law.
- if all corporation members voted, the CEO can force end voting to put the law in effect immediatly. Otherwise, you still have to wait 24 hours for the law to enter in effect.
STEP 3 - completing transaction
If the law is accepted within the corporation, the owner of the invitated company will receive an alert which contains the informations about the transaction:
- which company form his portofolio was invited
- what corporation launched the invitation and link to it
- the amount of shares offered
- the asking price
and he has 24 hours to either accept or decline in.
If he accepts, transaction is finalised, and he becomes new member of the corporation.
If he declines, or fails to make a decision choice in 24 hours, transaction fails.
IMPORTANT TIP: when you invite new companies, and new players into your corporation, keep in mind that most of the decisions in a corporation are based on votes. Including changing the CEO. Who controls majority of votes, controlls the corporation.So be carefull whom you deal with, and how many shares you give to others, to avoid the situation where your corporation is taken over by someone else and you end up a simple member with no function and no power.
GAME ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT INTERFERE IN THESE SITUATIONS.
The diference between inviting a company and selling part of a corporation is that you can invite an outside company into corporation, and you can sell a part only to a company that is already a corporation member.
To start the procedure of selling a part of your shares you need to go to corporation Office panel. I will assume that if you are here, you already know how to get there, so i will not bore you by explaining it. If you dont know, read about it in the Corporation Management tutorial.
Once you openned the Office panel, you can initiate the procedure selling a part from the Voting menu, as shown in the image bellow:
To start the procedure, click on Sell part link from the menu.
Here, any member of the corporation can propose a law to sell a part or all of his shares to another member of the corporation, or to transfer shares from one of his companies to another, provided they are both corporation members.
When a company sells all of its shares, it will leave the corporation!!!!!
STEP 1 - make the proposal
Procedure:
- from the drop menu select one of the companies you wish to sell a part to - in the menu will appear all corporation member companies. Make sure not to select as buyer the same company as the seller, this will generate an error when you start the voting procedure and you will have to begin all over again. You can select another player company, if you wish to sell the stack, or another company from your portofolio (if the case) to just transfer your shares.
- select amount of share you wish to sell - the amount must be a multiple of 10% packs of shares. Minimum is 10% and maximum is 90%. Again, make sure you dont exceed the amount of shares your company holds, or you will be repeating the process.
- from the drop menu select the company which you will be selling the shares from
- type the price of the transaction - minimum price that can be set is 100 gold. When setting the price keep in mind that from the sum you ask, 50% will be retained by the server. From the rest of 50%, 25% minus corporation tax is going to the seller account, and 25% minus the corporation tax to the corporation account. The corporation tax that is applied is the one from the country where corporation HQ is located.
Example: My corporation is located in Argentina. Argentina has a corporation tax level of 10%. I wanna sell 10% of my X company shares to Y company within the corporation. My asking price is 100 gold. If Y owner accepts the transaction, 50 gold will be retain by game server. From the remaining 50 gold, 25 gold - 2,5 gold (corporation tax) will go to my account, and 25 - 2,5 gold will go to corporation account.
- press Start to launch the law
STEP 2 - voting the proposal
After the invitation is made, there is a 24 hour voting window, in which all members of the corporation can vote pro or against the proposal.
Number of votes each member has depends on the amount of shares he holds. For every 10% of corporation shares owned, you receive 1 vote. So, if you hold for example 70% of shares, you have 7 votes.
When you choose to vote pro or against the law, all your votes will be taken into consideration. You cant split your votes.
Procedure:
- the active proposal/law can be viewed by any member in the Active Voting panel - you can see type of the law, number of votes pro/against and the date and time when voting window closes. Remember that number of votes depends on ammount of shares, so, if you see as in the example bellow 6 votes pro, it doesnt mean that 6 people have voted, it can mean that only one member with 60% shares has voted
- click on the green row to expend the window and express your vote - here you have some detailed informations about the law: who proposed it, time left until it voting closes, link to seller company page (click on the avatar to acces it), ammount of shares that will be sold link to the the buyer company, the price of the transaction, and the vote buttons.
- you have to wait untill all members of the corporation have voted, or untill 24 hour window closes - at any given time during these 24 hours, you can check the progress of the law, by coming here and expanding the voting window as shown above. In the example bellow, all share holders have voted, and you can see their avatars and stack of shares. If not all the members have voted in the 24 hour window, the server will take in consideration only the expressed votes to either pass or deny the law.
- if all corporation members voted, the CEO can force end voting to put the law in effect immediatly. Otherwise, you still have to wait 24 hours for the law to enter in effect.
STEP 3 - completing transaction
If the law is accepted within the corporation, the owner of the invitated company will receive an alert which contains the informations about the transaction:
- which company form his portofolio was invited
- the company who offered to sell the part and the ammount of shares offered
- the asking price
and he has 24 hours to either accept or decline in.
If he accepts, transaction is finalised, and he becomes new member of the corporation.
If he declines, or fails to make a decision choice in 24 hours, transaction fails.
IMPORTANT TIP: when you invite new companies, and new players into your corporation, keep in mind that most of the decisions in a corporation are based on votes. Including changing the CEO. Who controls majority of votes, controlls the corporation.So be carefull whom you deal with, and how many shares you give to others, to avoid the situation where your corporation is taken over by someone else and you end up a simple member with no function and no power.
GAME ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT INTERFERE IN THESE SITUATIONS.
To start the procedure of building an uranium mine for your corporation, you need to go to corporation Office panel. I will assume that if you are here, you already know how to get there, so i will not bore you by explaining it. If you dont know, read about it in the Corporation Management tutorial.
Once you openned the Office panel, you can initiate the procedure of building an uranium mine from the Voting menu, as shown in the image bellow:
Building an Uranium mine costs 2000 gold from your corporation account. From this ammount, the sum of 500 gold will be subject to the corporation tax. In this case, the corporation tax that is applied is the one from the country that holds the region where you decide to build your mine, and the tax will go to that country budget. So, a bit of scouting before you choose a region might worth your time.
Uranium regions:
- Saskatchewan
- Banat
- Northern-Territory
- Xinjiang-Uyghur
- Baikal
- Zaporizhia
STEP 1 - starting the law
Procedure:
- click on Build mine from menu
- choose a region from the drop menu - there are no restrictions in choosing a region. You dont have to be located in it, it doesnt has to be in same country as corporation, absolutly no restrictions. Just pick one.
- press Start
STEP 2 - voting the law
After the invitation is made, there is a 24 hour voting window, in which all members of the corporation can vote pro or against the proposal.
Number of votes each member has depends on the amount of shares he holds. For every 10% of corporation shares owned, you receive 1 vote. So, if you hold for example 70% of shares, you have 7 votes.
When you choose to vote pro or against the law, all your votes will be taken into consideration. You cant split your votes.
Procedure:
- the active proposal/law can be viewed by any member in the Active Voting panel - you can see type of the law, number of votes pro/against and the date and time when voting window closes.
- click on the green row to expend the window and express your vote - here you have some detailed informations about the law: who proposed it, time left until voting closes, region where mine will be build and link to it (click on the flag to see) and the price.
- you have to wait untill all members of the corporation have voted, or untill 24 hour window closes - at any given time during these 24 hours, you can check the progress of the law by expanding the voting window as show above. In the example bellow, all share holders have voted, and you can see their avatars and stack of shares. If not all the members have voted in the 24 hour window, the server will take in consideration only the expressed votes to either pass or deny the law.
- if all corporation members voted, the CEO can force end voting to put the law in effect immediatly. Otherwise, you still have to wait 24 hours for the law to enter in effect.
If the law passes, you will have yourself an uranium mine. Now that you have a mine you need to colect uranium.
STEP 3 - gathering uranium
The only official that can do that, is the COO - Chief Operating Officer. He has the posibility to collect uranium every hour, 8 times a day.
Procedure:
- go to the corporation Office
- on the Activity panel, click on Uranium gathering
- that will open a new panel for you - click to complete the captcha, then press Gather. Each time, you will collect 10 uranium units
- the uranium will appear in your corporation account and a counter will trigger, indicating time left until you can gather again
You can see the amount of uranium you have in corporation and how many times you have collected uranium during the current day in the corporation info panel

Uranium has following uses in game:
- it is needed to activate National productivity bonus
- it is needed to launch a nuclear strike
Uranium can be sold out of a corporation to a country or to an alliance, only by its CEO.
Every time a corporation is founded by a player, that player automatically becomes its CEO, as he is in total control of the corporation. However, CEO's can be changed, willingly or not.
Usually, there are 2 types of situations in which this law is proposed within a corporation:
- current CEO wants to resign - in this case, the acting CEO wants to pass control of corporation to another player, and the law is likely to succeed
- one of the corporation members is trying a take-over - in this case, the acting CEO needs to control the majority of votes, to prevent the attempt.
HINT: be carefull who you take you be as partner in your corporation. If you lose control of the votes majority, you can lose control over your corporation.
To start the procedure of changing CEO you need to go to corporation Office panel. I will assume that if you are here, you already know how to get there, so i will not bore you by explaining it. If you dont know, read about it in the Corporation Management tutorial.
Once you openned the Office panel, you can initiate the procedure selling a part from the Voting menu, as shown in the image bellow:
To start the procedure, click on Change CEO link from the menu.
Here, any member of the corporation can propose a law to replace the acting CEO with another member of the corporation.
STEP 1 - propose the law
- click on Change CEO
- select an corporation official from the drop menu
- click Start
STEP 2 - voting the law
After the invitation is made, there is a 24 hour voting window, in which all members of the corporation can vote pro or against the proposal.
Number of votes each member has depends on the amount of shares he holds. For every 10% of corporation shares owned, you receive 1 vote. So, if you hold for example 70% of shares, you have 7 votes.
When you choose to vote pro or against the law, all your votes will be taken into consideration. You cant split your votes.
Procedure:
- the active proposal/law can be viewed by any member in the Active Voting panel - you can see type of the law, number of votes pro/against and the date and time when voting window closes. Remember that number of votes depends on ammount of shares, so, if you see as in the example bellow 6 votes pro, it doesnt mean that 6 people have voted, it can mean that only one member with 60% shares has voted
- click on the green row to expend the window and express your vote - here you have some detailed informations about the law: who proposed it, time left until it voting closes, link to the official that is proposed to be CEO, the law 's price and voting buttons
- you have to wait untill all members of the corporation have voted, or untill 24 hour window closes - at any given time during these 24 hours, you can check the progress of the law, by coming here and expanding the voting window as shown above. In the example bellow, for the share holders that have voted, you can see their avatars and stack of shares. If not all the members have voted in the 24 hour window, the server will take in consideration only the expressed votes to either pass or deny the law.
- if all corporation members voted, the CEO can force end voting to put the law in effect immediatly. Otherwise, you still have to wait 24 hours for the law to enter in effect.
If the law passes, the corporation will have a new CEO. Keep in mind that when this happens, the other 2 officials will be automatically removed from their positions.
If your corporation is succesful in mining uranium and selling it, CEO or HR can decide to use the profits raised to either give one of the corporations officials a gold bonus, or to distribute dividends equally to all share holders.
To start either procedure you need to go to corporation Office panel. I will assume that if you are here, you already know how to get there, so i will not bore you by explaining it. If you dont know, read about it in the Corporation Management tutorial.
Once you openned the Office panel, you can launch either procedure from the Voting menu, as shown in the image bellow:
OFFICIAL PREMIUM
CEO or HR can use this option to award one corporation official a gold bonus. Its a simple procedure:
STEP 1 - propose the law
- click on Official premium link from menu
- select a corporation official from the drop menu
- type in the ammount of gold - when you choose to use this feature, keep in mind that putting gold in corporation is an dificult and expensive process, so weigh the options very carefull. The gold bonus awarded will be subject of the corporation tax. The tax applied is one from the country where corporation HQ is located.
Example: I choose to award my corporation CEO with 200 gold. The country where my corporation is located has a corporation tax of 1%. If the law passes, CEO will receive 200 gold minus the corporation tax, which in this case will be 2 gold, so he will receive 198 gold.
STEP 2 - voting the law
After the invitation is made, there is a 24 hour voting window, in which all members of the corporation can vote pro or against the proposal.
Number of votes each member has depends on the amount of shares he holds. For every 10% of corporation shares owned, you receive 1 vote. So, if you hold for example 70% of shares, you have 7 votes.
When you choose to vote pro or against the law, all your votes will be taken into consideration. You cant split your votes.
Procedure:
- the active proposal/law can be viewed by any member in the Active Voting panel - you can see type of the law, number of votes pro/against and the date and time when voting window closes.
- click on the green raw to expend the window and express your vote - here you have some detailed informations about the law: who proposed it, time left until it voting closes, the ammount of gold proposed as bonus, and the name, avatar and link of the corporation official who will benefit from the bonus and the vote buttons
- you have to wait untill all members of the corporation have voted, or untill 24 hour window closes - at any given time during these 24 hours, you can check the progress of the law by clicking and expanding the window, as shown above. If not all the members have voted in the 24 hour window, the server will take in consideration only the expressed votes to either pass or deny the law.
- if all corporation members voted, the CEO can force end voting to put the law in effect immediatly. Otherwise, you still have to wait 24 hours for the law to enter in effect.
If the law passes, the gold will be subtracted from corporation account and the selected official will receive the gold bonus, minus the corporation tax, and an alert regarding that.
DIVIDENDS
A similar procedure can be used if CEO or HR decide to share some of the corporation profits with all share holders.
To start the procedure, just click on Dividends link from the menu, then type in the ammount of gold you want to share as dividends and press start.
Then follow same steps for the voting procedure. The thing you need to take into consideration is the way the corporation tax applies in this situation:
- a corporation has 10 stacks of 10% distributed among the companies owners.
- the ammount of gold set as dividends divides equally between these 10 stacks, and for each stack corporation tax applies - the tax that applies is the one from the country where corporation HQ is located.
- each share holder will receive an ammount of gold depending on how many stacks he owns
Example: I have decided to award my share holders with the total sum of 100 gold, as dividens. The corporation tax in my country is 1%. So the amount of dividens per 10% pack of shares will be 10 gold minus corporation tax of 0.1 gold, so 9.9 gold. A player that owns 30% of my corporation will receive 3 x 9,9 gold.
Media module is one of the most, if not the most unregarded part of this game. Allthou it can provide a lot of fun, it doesnt offer vast material rewards, and that's probably one of the reason most players choose to ignore it, sadly. This is a general overview of this module.

- the moment you push the grant button, the ammount of currency you chosed id automatically subtracted from your account, so be sure its what you want to do
- the minimum sum for a grant is 1 cc, then you can raise this sum up to the maximum posibil, by the count of 1 cc, by clicking on the circle indicated in the image above by the arrow 4 clockwise to raise the grant sum and counter clockwise to lower the grant sum.

It gives you the option of sending a mass message to all of your unit's members. Click on the tab to open a text window, where you can write your message, then press send to deliver that message to all unit.
HINT: You can also send a private message to a particular member of your unit by clicking on the envelope image next to his/her name
4. Military Unit member's panels
There are 3 panels that divide members of a military unit:
- Management members - commander and captains
- Elite members - these are the members of the elite squads
- Members - these are the regular, non-elite members.
These are the options available for those that assume the task of managing a military unit. Like i said in the begining of this tutorial, most of these options are available for both commander and captains. However, few of them are available only to the commander of the unit :
- edit option tab
- promoting/demoting members to elite squads
- changing squads of the elite members
- promoting demoting captains
Daily order is the battle which a military unit management considers to be important, and it is set so that all members of that unit focus their damage there.
Fighting for this specific battle brings to advantages:
- a 10% damage bonus
- a reward that can be collected once the daily order is completed
TIP: The 10% damage bonus will remain active after you complete the daily order and collect reward. It is active as long as you hit in the indicated battle.
Setting a battle as Daily Order is a task and a option available for a unit's management only. In this tutorial, we will explain how to succesfully complete this task.
STEP 1
Go to military unit page. You will see a panel that indicates the current battle set for daily order, if any, and bellow a tab named Military Unit Order:
- panel indicating the battle set as daily order, if any
- tab for accesing unit order menu
STEP 2
Click on the Military Unit Order tab to open the order menu:
- drop menu's containing list of all current battles
- click on this button to set the selected battle as daily order
- click on this button to set the selected battle as next order
Go to first Add order tab, and click on the arrow to open a drop menu with all battles. Select one, then click on Order button to set that battle as daily order.
You have also the option to set a second order, that will act as a backup in case the battle you set as daily order ends and there is no management member to set another one. In this case, the server will set automatically this second battle as your unit's order. Procedure is the same: go to the Next order tab, open the drop menu, select a battle and press Order.
There are a few things to remember here:
- you can not set both order in the same time - meaning you can not set both orders with just one Order click. You have to set one battle, then repete the procedure for second one.
- be very carefull when you set a battle, as you might focus all your unit's damage for the enemy side - the drop list with active battles contains links for both sides of a battle, one for the atacker and one for the defender. The active side is shown in the brackets at the end of each link.
- even if you set a battle as daily order, pay attention to your location! - if you are located on your enemy territory, on one of its allies, you will deliver damage for them.
- when you set the Next order, be sure to take in consideration the priorities and time frame - this battle can end 5 minutes after the main order, and your unit will remain without an active order until someone from management steps in
Bellow is an example of how daily order panel can look like:
At any time, if you want to change the battles set for orders, you can go and repeat the procedure. If you do not want your unit to have an active order, go and select No order from the drop list.
By default, the number of fights requiered to complete the daily order and collect the reward, is 10. This number can be changed by those units that have elite slots unblocked. To see how, please read Elite Squads tutorial.
Before we go in details, let me present you the idea of this concept: within a military unit, its commander has the option to found 2 elite squads. He can then assign members of the unit to one of this squads, or demote them back to regular members. For each squad, its posible to set a different number of fights as a requirement for completing DO, and also, for each squad, its posible to set 4 items to be colected by elite members after completing DO, so basically unit managers can use this to automatically supply their elite members with daily ratio.
SETTING UP ELITE SQUADS
In order to set up the squads, the commander of the military unit needs to purchase 5 elite slots, from the unit edit option menu. Once he did that, elite members feature is unlocked, and the commander can promote and assign unit members to elite squads.
Commander and first captain will be assigned automatically to squad 1 and the second captain to squad 2. Then, the commander has the option to assign unit members to fill those 5 elite slots. When you assign one member to a slot, it will automatically go to squad 1, but you can switch them between squads, or you can demote them back to regular members.
If you want more slots, you will need to purchase them from unit's edit options menu. You can add 5 slots each time you expand your elite squads, and each time you need to pay an amount of gold:
- first 5 slots and founding elite squads - 15 gold
- level 2 - add another 5 slots - costs 30 gold
- level 3 - add another 5 slots - costs 50 gold
- level 4 - add another 5 slots - costs 75 gold
- level 5 - add another 5 slots - costs 105 gold
- level 6 - add another 5 slots - costs 150 gold
From level 6 on, each time you want to add 5 more slots, it will cost you 150 gold.
PROCEDURE
Step 1:
Go to military unit edit menu, and you will see there the option to add elite slots to your unit. Press the Add button to purchase first 5 slots and set up the squads:
- number of already purchased elite slots
- cost of next 5 elite slots
- add button
Step 2:
Now your elite squads are unlocked. The commander and first captain are assigned to squad 1 and second captain to squad 2, as shown in the example below:
The commander and captains are assigned to elite squads for free, they do not occupy any slot. If you don not have any appointed captains, they will go automatically to elite squads the moment you assign them.
Step 3:
Commander has the option to assign any unit member to elite squads, by pressing the Elite button next to each member, indicated by the arrows in the example below
TIP: place mouse cursor on buttons to see what each one does
When you promote someone to elite members, by default they are assigned to squad 1. If you want, you can move them to squad 2, or get them back to squad 1 afterwards, or demote them back to regular members
- Remove elite button - demotes the player back to regular member
- Change Squad button - moves the player to the other squad
You can appoint to elite squads at one time as many members as free slots you have. Each time you appoint one, the server will generate a message showing you the occupied/total elite slots ratio:
Military units management members have at their disposal tools that allows items to be transfered automatically from unit storage to member's inventory, as a reward for completing daily order.
There are two options available:
- support system for regular members
- support system for elite members
Regular members DO support
For regular unit members, the support system has two major rules:
- you can set as DO rewards helms and weapons
- there is fix standard number of 10 figths required to complete it.
TIP: Only players that fit usage criteria will receive helms. If you arent in those criterias, you WILL NOT receive helms, even they are set as reward.
PROCEDURE:
Step 1:
Go to unit's inventory, where you will see the panel shown bellow:

Step 2:
- type in the quantity of helms
- select weapon quality
- type in quantity of weapons
Step 3:
Press apply to set the reward for completing DO.
IMPORTANT: Helms and weapons WILL NOT be generated by the server. They have to exist in unit inventory, in order for people to receive them, and unit members have to have space available in storage when they claim the reward.
Example: if you set 10 helms and 10 q5 weapons as support, and you have only 17 helms and 14 q5 weapons in unit inventory, first eligible member that claims reward will receive 10 helms and 10 weapons, if he has 20 space available in storage. Second player that claims reward will receice only 7 helms and 4 weapons.
Elite member DO support
The elite members support system is a bit more developed, and it allows you to supply your elite members automatically with items from unit storage, by adding these items to the reward available for completing daily order. There are 4 items that can be set as reward for completing DO:
- Tickets
- Weapons
- Gifts
- Food.
Rules:
- the available items and amount of each one can be set differenty for each squad.
- remember this order, as it is important - when server calculates what items a player will receive, it sticks to this order, so it will calculate the amount of tickets first, then weapons, and so on.
- When you set these items as DO rewards, keep in mind that THEY WILL NOT BE GENERATED BY THE SERVER, they HAVE TO EXIST IN MU STORAGE. If a particular item is not available in unit inventory, it will not be received by a member that claims reward for completing daily order, even if it is set as reward.
Also, when a player colects DO rewards, the server will calculate his free storage space, search for existing items in mu storage, calculate the amount of each items and then it will provide the reward accordingly to:
- items order, as presented above
- player's free storage space
- number of items in mu storage
Example: lets say that my MU has set 10 pieces of each four items as DO reward. But, i have only 37 free storage space. So, when i press collect DO, i will receive 10 tickets, 10 weapons, 10 gifts and ONLY 7 food.
If i would have only 29 free storage space, i would get 10 tickets, 10 weapons and 9 gifts. No food, cause there is no space for it.
Example 2: again, lets say my MU has set 10 pieces of each four items as DO reward. I have plenty of free storage space, but, in MU inventory there are only 4 weapons and 3 tickets left in the moment that i press collect DO. That means that i will collect 3 tickets, 4 weapons, 10 gifts and 10 food.
For each of the two elite squads, the management members can set a different number of fights requiered to complete the DO. You can set:
- 10 fights
- 15 fights
- 20 fights
YOU CAN NOT set different battles for each squad, the DO battle is the same for all unit members.
PROCEDURE:
Step 1:
Go to unit's inventory and you will see the panel shown bellow:
Step2:
- select number of fights requiered to complete daily order - the green tab indicates active number of fights
- select quality for each item and type in the quantity for each item in the box bellow each one - if you want to skip one item, selected 0 amount
- press Apply
REMEMBER: These items HAVE TO EXIST IN UNIT STORAGE IN ORDER FOR PLAYERS TO RECEIVE THEM. There is no use in setting items as rewards, if you dont have the necessary amount in unit storage, because they will not be delivered.
Here is an example of how reward for an elite member can look like:

After you collect DO reward, you will also receive alerts about these items that were transfered from military unit and also, they will be visible in donations logs, as shown in examples bellow:
