[MoF] Raws reform, import taxes part 2

Day 1,273, 04:23 • Published in Belgium Belgium • by NBB-BNB



Dear citizens,


On day 1269, a major reform of the game rules took place. It now looks very probable that the limit of 1000 free storage will be enforced on day 1275: storage expansion can be purchased right now. At current MM rates, small storages are somewhat cheaper overall.
Citizen bonus was removed from the productivity formula (hiring Belgians or foreigners is the same now), as well as the health modifier (health level doesn't influence production anymore). Each skill level gives 10% bonus, and unique region resources provide 20% apiece. The formula at http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Productivity_formula seems updated and correct for the current situation.

Import taxes were raised in-game to 99% overall. The expectation of the Congress Members voting in favour is that this will protect our local market, lead to high enough prices to avoid foreign imports on our market, and allow higher salaries. The few voters against think we'll now have less local market sales, a weaker currency and no more foreigners buying on our market. Even if a decision was taken now, we can still change it in the future.
