MoEco: Where should i locate my holding company?

Day 3,144, 03:29 Published in Cyprus Cyprus by KypriosEL

Dear friends,

The game will proceed tomorrow to the changes of the economy module.
For those that missed it please read my previous article here.

First i want to tell you that in my opinion these changes are bad and make the game more complex especially for the new players (if they decide to stay in this game) and unfair for the old players who invested already in some industries.

Second, i want to explain to you that you will need a separate Holding for each industry e.g. 1 for Food/RawFood factories and 1 other for Weapons/RawWeapons factories. It is possible to use only one holding for all your factories but the issue is the bonus this holding will have...it will not cover all. The first Holding is given for FREE but notice that you can not move a Holding Company so be careful where you place them. People with many companies might need to create more Holdings for danger dispersion.

Regarding the question "Where should i locate my Holding Company?" The answer is that we can not tell you where exactly to place your companies because this is a complex and variable equation. It has to do with the Productivity Bonus of the regions and of the country, the work tax and if this will change in the future, the embargoes and the pollution (many people working in the same region).

Our country with only 2 core regions got a 60% for weapons and a 15% for food.
And we have some bonus from Saudi but these wont change the bonuses much.
Especially for the food industry i think it is better to locate our Holding in a region of a neighbor country (ally, no embargo) with good food bonus (calculated with the new formula). If we are in constant war with that country we wont be able to work as manager and that is why we prefer an ally. Don't forget that in order to work as manager you will have to move to that region so try to keep the ticket cost low. Keep also in mind that if many people go to the same region then the pollution will be higher and the reduction in bonus will be higher also.

In my opinion we must wait, not to place any Holding Company for 2-3 days after the changes.

This will give us time to fully understand the possibilities we have, to see the rates of pollution, the embargoes and the wars that will affect our productivity.
These 2-3 days you will not be able to work but i think that this is best for you to do.

Thanks
