It all started with a short video on TikTok. While scrolling through recommendations, a clip about War Era, a strategy video game where players participate in wars, politics, and global economics, appeared on my screen. Curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to try it.
At first, the excitement quickly turned into confusion. Understanding the game’s economy was complicated. In War Era, players must produce goods, trade resources, and manage finances within a market controlled by the community itself. Progress requires strategy, patience, and constant learning.
The real surprise came when I checked the map: my country had already been conquered by an alliance between the United States and Chile. The disappointment was immediate, but it also sparked a desire to fight back and recover territory.
Over time, I learned that alliances are key. That’s how Mexico ended up supporting Venezuela in the game, in a virtual conflict where every political, economic, and military decision can change the fate of a digital nation.
