Gen i Revolution, Murktide Invasion (50 points)

Gen i Revolution is a personal financial literacy game made by the authorities on the topic, The Council For Economic Education. The Council constantly strives to further economic education for the American student at all levels, and part of their philosophy is that the resources for learning need to be engaging to a 21st-century student, like yourself. The material covered in this game is the standard economics that have been taught in schools for decades, but they've included a 'modern' flair. The hope is that the student will find the material more engaging if it is presented in a game-challenge fashion. Let's find out if we agree, shall we?

Gen i Revolution

You'll need to go to the site for the game, and login with the username you chose a bit back, remembering the password you put in as well. There will be 4 tasks associated with this site, the first being Murktide Invasion. Your task here is tough, and will require some research and questioning of me. You need to have successfully conquered 3 lands that began the game as red, without losing any other lands in the process. In other words, you need to be up three territories from where you started. The process to gain land is first answer the questions appropriately, second 'reinforce' your current territories with the troops you just gained by answering correctly, then attack the lands you wish to attack. It will most likely take at least 4 rounds of questions to successfully pull this off, but the questions are good ones that we certainly want to know the answers to. If you find this game engaging, as the Council hopes you do, you can try for the jackpot: 125 points to actually win the Murktide Invasion and completely wipe out the red opponent.   Tough to do, but if you're so inclined, go for it, but keep in mind there is no in between. Either take the 50, or achieve the threshold for 125. Good luck!
To complete:
1) Open Gen i Revolution
2) Play Murktide Invasion (link on the middle-left side of the main page)
3) Successfully maintain 3 lands (territories) more than when you started
4) Screen shot and post to your blog under "Murktide"
