Resource wars and your companies
Ilene Dover
Long time no see! I’ve been crazy busy with boring RL stuff lately. Working for a living is such a drag… No doubt none of you care one iota!
While reading up on the coming Resource Wars I couldn’t help but catch the implications of this section:
Have a read of it again. I’ll highlight the part that jumps out at me:
After the event ends,
Aside from the issue of what’s old is new again, and any other number of fashion related phrases…
The maximum bonus for any particular resource is 30%. Setup your rubber plantation in a region with a Rubber resource and, it seems to me, you’ll be producing 325 WRM. Similarly, your Q7 weapons factory in the same region will be producing 13 weapons.
If I’m right, there are a lot of changes that will be coming to the economics side of the game soon. For starters, world salaries are driven by the price of Q1 houses and HRM prices. Drop the Granite quarry production from 500/shift to 325/shift and things start looking a little shaky for producers at current salaries…
One last thing. If I’m right, the only resource that will matter for most countries is the headline bonus. We will, if things pan out, find that the eUSA secures a full set of weapons (and other) bonuses. Everyone who can think for herself will locate their factories and WRM companies in the one and only Rubber region. If you place companies in a region with “just” an Oil resource you’re reducing your production from 13 weapons to 12. Ditto that for food and housing and whatever this weird new resource is going to be.
Please, tell me if I’m crazy with this interpretation. Its nice to be wrong, once in a while.
If I'm right, I hope our executive grabs the best bonus for each resource they can before filling out a full suite of different (and probably useless) resources.
Comments
A region can have 4 resources, so the max bonus is 90% (or 75% depending on how you read it)
Maximum possible bonus is 90% on the wording of the latest admin post.
OMFG wai am I helping clear things up for the eUSA here. No! everything Ilene says is correct...
>implying
Coz we're al friends? Right?
Otherwise I'll be a lynchin' you in werewolves. 😈
Good catch! Stacking a region means impoverishing another. It's really only the US and China that can play that game.
idk
2 things
1) Up to 4 resources can be placed in the same Region.
2)I do not think you get the bonus of just the region you are in but of the country as a whole - but worth getting cleared up
Where regions could matter are
.if region your factory in gets occupied it could get the bonus for the new country.
Taxes can be regional.
Actually the wording very much implies that you get the bonus of the region your companies are in.
Yes I am confounded by that earlier reference to county/region bonus. There are many questions about finer details, but for the moment I am much too busy just trying to run a senate vote on the basics. Not that I haven't tried to nut out all the mysteries, but sometimes maybe we have to accept that admins will say something which is an inaccurate description of what actually happens (you can notice some small differences between the two most recent official forum threads even).
I still think you will get the bonuses of the country you are in. You pick a region for your factory if that region becomes occupied then you get the bonuses of the occupied country.
But Plato has not answered this question definitively
Although logic and Plato do not necessarily have any correlation
Logically what the following tells you is that if after the events end you will not benefit from the new bonuses until you pick a region
After the event ends, the Company owners will have to establish their Companies in the Regions of their choice in order to benefit from the new bonuses.
The economy module has never held any interest for me. Media and politics are what hold my interest the most.
Thanks for publishing
you should brush on it - as there is some correlations with the political and economical module.
thank you, I merely choose not be an owner, I actually follow the commodity market, unsuccessfully dabble in the speculative market and pay attention to business owners, precisely because of the point you make.
Selling Event lessons PM 😃
for free just one
MAX bonus 100%
5 CC says its 90%
90% in one region but your country have more than 1 region ?
than you will have 90% + 10% from another region
@donate 😃
I disagree!
The whole point of the article was to point out that your production bonuses are by the region where you put the company. Not by anion so resources as a whole.
I believe it will be 90% + 10% for 2 or more of the resource, which to me means any thing over two is a wasted token....
good conversation
And if u are poor like me and you don´t have companies? 😛
Ummm... Fight like mad for Skynet to get good bonuses. Or Black Spectra will be the suck for supply.
It wouldn't surprise me if Skynet had already thought of this. That dude is frighteningly clever.
Ah... I like the idea that after the shake out of resources, we get to (re)locate our production.
/me waves bye bye to high taxes!
just so that I understand u correctly. In theory, I could keep my eUS citizenship but relocate my Cie in polish or serbian regions ? That's kind of weird, no?
I too am going to relocate all my companies to serbia. if they are able to get good production bonuses.
Why is it weird?
I think your existing companies might have to go in your citizenship country, although I don't know how that works if you're wiped... Pure speculation on my part!
It makes sense to let people build and place companies wherever. Max taxes? Not anymore!
so then if we establish companies on a resource, and we will be taxed from the u.s. then we really have to be defensive minded so that area does not get lost in a war. thats gonna make for a really rich region for another country to take first no?
You gotta back yourself sometimes too.
Assuming you will lose a critical battle is the first step towards actually losing it.
Whether you believe ya'll win or that ya'll lose, ya'll be right....
