First up, I'd like to give a special thanks to Betafoxtrot for creating the new art below!

This is the first of a two part series on finances.

1. Basic Finances Guide - Aimed at instructing new players to have both sustainable finances and have fun playing their play styles.
2. Advances Finances Guide - Instructing more advanced players how to better manage their finances.



Background

After speaking with various new players and much research, it's been possible to come up with just how much each new player starts out with. We'll be doing this based on different playstyles - Military and Economic. Media and Political have little to do with finances.

Your Starting Finances: 500CC + 1 Gold per level

So, how do you spend this to become a sustainable player?



Saving

For the first two days, you should save your gold and CC. Buy a few weapons to keep you entertained, avoid spending gold on training, and on day three, turn all of the gold in to CC. This shouldleave you with about 7,000GBP. On top of your job earnings, your starting money and products you manufacture, you can top this off to about 7,600GBP. Below is the recommended way to get this started out.



Solid Investment

So you have around 7,600GBP, what now?

Iron Mines are possibly the greatest investment available to a new player. With that 7,600, you can buy 5 iron mines. At base production rates in the eUK, this would be your following daily income:

Job: 20GBP
140 Q1 Foo😛 11.20GBP
280 WRM: 16.80GBP
Minus 10% tax: ~45GBP per day

This 45GBP is a great start to your finances, every 8 days you'll earn 1 gold, every month you can invest in a new iron mine, increasing the rate at which you make money.

You can also buy enough tanks to do a decent amount of damage every other day if you're a military player, or top up on supplies you receive from your military unit.

If you work in a commune, you're likely receiving supplies in lieu of pay, in which case you're gearing more towards a military style, and still making about 25.5GBP per day.



Levelling Up & Trophies

If you play the military module most, chances are you're likely going to geta couple of Battle Hero trophies before level 30. This will give you anywhere between 4 and 6 gold, which is enough to buy an extra iron mine.

You'll also receive around 2 super soldier trophies and 3-4 hard worker trophies in this time, amounting to about 25 gold. Again, this will buy you a lot more iron mines, increasing your self suffenciency greatly and giving you a lot of financial freedom. You can then begin to focus on doing as much damage in battle as possible, or looking to expand in to things such as higher Q companies.



Important Notes

-Remember that in the early stages, self-sufficiency is key.
-Try to avoid going for battle hero trophies unless you can do so without damaging your income. Low level BH trohpies are worth a lot less than division 3 trophies.
-Only pay for training in the early phases if you're a gold buyer. This will severely impact your income, and isn't really worth it without Q4 training grounds. Use the free training for now.
-Advice on where to spend money can always be obtained by messaging either me (Current MoHA), or Carlini8. (the current Minister of Finance)
