Sell all gold. Don't waste money. Buy 60 salterpeter mines and 60 cattle farms. Start train with gold (0.19). Grow strong. Buy back all gold. Build factories. Start demolishing farms and mines. Grow even stronger. You just won the game.

Questions?

@Archibold
I did lend cash from the richer players in my country. And bought some gold for RL cash that I then turned into SEK. The first 3 months went really slow, was only able to buy 30-40 mines and had to pay back the huge loan. But after that the money started to roll in, and every other day I could build a new Mine/Farm.

@Tom Just
Indeed! And as little wasting of the cash you earn as possible. My Military Minister gonna hate me for saying this, but war should only be fought with tax money!

Have been doing the same for a while. And its really a good idea.

I would wait a week or two more to see the gold price increase. By the time admins add another gold-consuming feature, we will see gold prices peak at level above 2000 cc. Each mine will take 116 days to pay itself back with the current prices. That is not so bad, but you said it best yourself: the first 3 months will be a drag. After that = party time.

By the time you produce 26k WRM, you can afford to buy one more mine per day. But by that time, you will have run out of health for WAM too... so the problem isn't so much the mines as it is the lack of health in a long term perspective. So eventually you will want to start investing in rubber/deer instead.

Factories have been a bad investment for many, many, many months.

As a funny sidenote:

How many days it will take before your Q5 weapon factory starts paying back = 1297... years.

Sell your gold at peak times - Check
Build farmz to earn easy money - Check
Gain profit from people selling stuff cheap for weird reasons - CHECK! (too bad that wont happen anymore)

Anyone else noticed the all-calming presence of plato bot around monetary market? I feel like the admins are buying off all of our gold just to make everyone buy it back for euros :
