Great article, but I'm still not sure what the benefit to gaining rank is in eRepublik. I can see experience as a means to get gold, but is there a worthwhile benefit to rank? Seems like Strength is by far the most important stat, but also the hardest to increase. Anyway, voted.

Voted, Nice article
@SriBri i think each rank increase adds 5% damage, so the more ranks u get the more damage...
Very entertaining . V + S

nice
Answering SrrBri's post:
Strength and Rank are what determine your performance in Battles.
Each time you gain Rank, you gain 5% more damage... so it is VERY beneficial.
Strength is accrued slowly, but can be hastened by BUYING strength by training at the optional
training facilities. Personally, when I have funds... I would rather train and gain strength than fight
with weapons. Weapons are temporary and the money spent is a one time benefit.
When you train, you gain strength... which is a permanent addition to your character.
I frequently sell off my weapons and extra food to buy training... then fight bare handed.
That kinda sums up an article that will be coming out soon... 😁
