As most of you know by now Admin introduced a Rocket Factory today. The description in the wiki is more than sufficient for describing the what it is and how it works. We want to talk about what it means for the average player.
What does the Rocket Factory mean for the average player?
Early on a player's main focus should be to increase their rank and strength to increase their base damage. For this reason the average player receives no real benefit from the Rocket Factory, other than as a tool to help attain Battle Hero (BH) Medals. This is because rockets do not add rank points. A rocket by its self does not give you enough damage for the average BH Medal. So if you are going to use rockets in an attempt to go after a BH Medal it will have to be with the use of bazookas as well.
What each rocket costs:
Q1: 0.71 Gold for 50,000 damage
Q2: 1.77 Gold for 250,000 damage
Q3: 3.54 Gold for 500,000 damage
Q4: 7.08 Gold for 1,000,000 damage
Formula for calculating the cost of each rocket:
Q1: ((Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4+Q5+Q6)*10)+100)/Gold
Q2: ((Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4+Q5+Q6)*25)+250)/Gold
Q3: ((Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4+Q5+Q6)*50)+500)/Gold
Q4: ((Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4+Q5+Q6)*100)+1000)/Gold
*Q1-Q6 listed in the formula is the cost per unit of each weapon on the market. Gold in the formula refers to the price per unit in CC of gold.
For the average player the cost of rockets far exceeds the benefits of producing them, since gold buyers will already have a huge advantage in strength and rank which they can simply add to bazookas or their own rocket to obtain a BH Medal. It is for that reason we suggest players use their gold to invest in upgrading their training facilities as that will be of greater long term benefit to the player and the eUS as a fighting force.
Mentor Program
Are you a new player looking for some help learning the ropes, or perhaps you're new to the eUS and you're trying to find your way around. Either way the Mentor Program may be just what you need. The Mentor Program provides you with a one-on-one relationship with a mentor who can help you become better acquainted with the country and the game. If you would like to request a mentor please fill out
The Mentor Request Form.

This is such a FN money pit. There is no way that any of these rockets are worth the USD and gold spent to get one and I still will not be spending RL money on this game. Want me to spend RL money...bring back hex battllefields...update Military units so that the Captains many expend their Regiments battle damage as a unit on that hex battlefield...GIVE US AN ECONOMY...all this did was make my Q2 weapons factories worth having...
\o
Um, isn't making your Q2 weapons more valuable actually improving the economy? Tax revenues were off the charts yesterday around the world. Seems to me people just need to adjust their tax rates and allow people the freedom to have more money available.

You are correct that it is most important for n00bs to build strength and rank up quickly. The TG's should be upgraded to q3 (except 0.19 should stop at q2) and Town Hall (health bldg.) be at q5. But you do not observe two important points.
The Serbs, Poles, Hungarians, etc. will do this. They will have squads of fighters with rockets. At the end of an important battle they will snipe at the last moment with 10, 20, maybe 30 million damage. Would it not be wise to encourage an elite squad (oops, used a bad word) of our own fighters to be able to counter, even take the advantage, with rockets?
Also, it is fun for people like me that are bored with the game. 😃😃
IT IS VIDOVDAN, AN IMPORTANT DAY IN SERBIA

Thedillpickl : True, any governement giving the raw material for these rockets to its fighters will have a huge advantage, it's really cheaper than using EB as a Tank.

That is the question.
