WIIFM and new company resurces

Day 3,142, 17:18 • Published in Ireland United Kingdom • by moomoohead

There is an important business principle called WIIFM, it stands for What Is In It For Me. I decided to try to apply it to the new company bonus system. Before I get in to the details I want to make a big disclaimer. I am not an expert on this stuff, so please correct anything I get wrong in the comments.

I have been self-sufficient in this game since almost the beginning. I did not do this the smart way by building up a large portfolio of companies. I have created wealth by buying gold. Going forward I plan to be even more lazy and would expect that personal strategy to continue. But back to the purpose of this article, how do the new changes affect me.

So first questions, what is the net output of me working as a manager in Ireland before the resource war?

.....Number of Companies 65
.....Number of companies work in each day 26
.....Country Bonus Food 80% Guns 40%
.....Tax Rate 1%
.....Work tax paid 20.80 iep
.....Output from working 10Q7 guns, 160Q2food, 640Q3 food 160Food Raw
.....Value of goods 314.2iep

Net Benefit 293.4iep

So Second question, what is the expected net output of me working as a manager in Ireland after the resource war?

.....Number of Companies 65
.....Number of companies work in each day 26
.....Country Bonus Food 55 Weapons 80
.....Pollution rate 5% pure guess based on size
.....Regional bonus 15% just a guess
.....Total new bonus Food 65 Guns 90
.....Tax rate 1%
.....Work tax paid 25.70iep
.....Output from working 18 Q7 guns, 130Q2food, 520Q3 food 130Food Raw
.....Value of goods 388.10iep
.....Cost of Moving 20iep

Net Benefit 342.40

So as you can see the new system results in a slightly better deal for me but not going to get me rich.

One thing this does not factor in and will affect things a lot is future supply and demand. I see it being effected at least two ways. First some people might not even bother to move each day to work as a manager and thus production will drop. Production drops and prices rise. I personally think this will be a less factor because ultra-active players will do it and they are the bulk of producers. Second is if the global average productivity drops the supply will go down and prices go up. Somme countries had bad results in the war and there productivity will go down.

My thoughts tell me what you think please.
