Hello, War Era Philippines! 🇵🇭
I’m officially one month into the game, and I wanted to share a quick update on my economic progress — especially now that I’ve been following the fast‑growth company strategy that many veterans recommend.
🏗️ 1. Starting With the “Big Four” Companies
I kicked things off with the classic starter lineup:
Limestone → Concrete → Iron → Steel
Honestly, this alone made my early game feel smoother. Being self‑sufficient removes a lot of stress, and it feels good knowing my production chain actually connects.
⚡ 2. AE Leveling Pattern = Game Changer
I used to upgrade randomly, but following the AE Level 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 progression across companies made everything more predictable.
Building Company 1–3 first, then pushing them to AE4 before expanding again… it just works.
It feels like my economy finally has a rhythm instead of chaos.
📈 3. Stacking Resources + Selling Early = Fast Cash
I didn’t realize how important it was to sell early bullets and food until I tried it.
That quick cash helped me build companies faster and keep upgrades flowing.
Also: scrapping green/blue loot and selling purple+ is such an underrated money boost.
🏭 4. Staying Eco for Now (But War Later!)
I’m following the “eco path” for now — aiming for 10–12 companies, all pushed to AE6 and eventually AE7.
I’m enjoying the slow but steady growth, and it’s satisfying watching my storage fill up (and upgrading it before it overflows, of course).
👷 5. No Employees Yet — Saving That for Later
I used to think hiring early was good… but waiting until the economy stabilizes really does make more sense.
For now, every peso goes back into build → upgrade → reinvest.

🙏 Call to Action: Tips Welcome!
To the more experienced PH players out there:
- Am I pacing this right?
- When did you start hiring employees?
- Any recommended industries for mid‑game PH?
- Should I push for AE7 early or expand first?
I’m having a lot of fun learning the economy side of War Era, and I appreciate any guidance from the community. Thanks in advance — and mabuhay to all PH players building our nation’s future! 🇵🇭
