Top 5 Companies in late 2018 (Work as Manager)
•
by Marcelaxy
Hi, since the economy has shifted a lot in the recent months, I'd like to give you a list of the best companies for Work as Manager as of now.
Disclaimer: Before you buy any companies listed here, keep in mind that Black Friday (23.11) is on the horizon with possible discounts. E.g. 30% off on upgrades as of last year. You might want to wait until Black Friday to make any spending decisions.
Metrics:
- WaM Tax + Energy used = ~12cc (somewhere between 1 and 2% work tax and ~2cc for the Food)
- Productivity: 193% without, 213% with Tycoon Pack
- Tycoon Packs are active 20 of 30 days
- Upgrade Discount: 30%
- VAT: 1%
- FRM Price: 10.8cc
- WRM Price: 19cc
- Food Price: 0.43cc x Quality (Q7 = Q10)
- Q7 Weapons Price: 95cc
- 1 Gold = 570cc
- Salary = 880cc
The "Amortization" time is the time required for a company to pay its purchase price back.
My Ranking:
1. Q4 Weapon Raw Material
Q4 WRM companies can be purshased with cc. You earn cc when using it. This has the advantage that you earn what you spend on it, also players bottlenecked by the daily Gold Transaction Limit can purchase this company without thinking wether their Gold is better spent on something else.
Daily Profit: 52.17cc
Tycoon Pack Users: 56.61cc
Amortization: 163 Days
Tycoon Pack Users: 151 Days
Since Q4 WRM Companies cost 8500cc and can be dissolved giving 4250cc back. E.g. if you quickly need cc to adapt to a game change.
This means that after you earned back your 4250cc (= half the amortization time) you start to make profits. Also you aren't held back by the Gold Limit buying new companies to increase your business exponentially.
2. Q1 Food
Q1 Food Companies are the cheapest on this list. They cost only 10 Gold and can be sold for 9 Gold or more easily if you're in a good, crowded region. So the potential loss of Gold is minimal. Also they can be upgraded to higher Qs on demand, especially during Upgrade Discounts. Apart from all that, with the first few food companies you're self-supplying which is tax-free, increasing your profits/savings by a margin.
Daily Profit: 49.32cc
Tycoon Pack Users: 53.56cc
Amortization: 116 Days
Tycoon Pack Users: 107 Days
3) Q2 Food
Q1 Food Company 2: Q2 Food Company
They cost 30 Gold to purchase on normal days and can be sold for 27 Gold in good regions pretty easily, though it takes longer than Q1 Foods. During Discounts they are expected to cost 24 Gold. Per Default, they cost trice as much as Q1s but earn you a more than twice as much cc per work, so either your maximum earnings from your Foodhealth is increased or you can fight for more medals with your spare energy. Also you need less storage for the finished produtcts.
Daily Profit: 110.65cc
Tycoon Pack Users: 119.12cc
Amortization: 155 Days
Tycoon Pack Users: 143 Days
Discounted Amortization: 124 Days
Tycoon Pack Users: 115 Days
As you see, a discounted Q2 Food Company amortizes almost as fast a Q1 Food Company with the advantage that it saves you a foodfight and some storage space.
4) Q7 Weapons
Q7 Weapon Companies are, at normal times, the most profitable companies in the game but also the most expensive ones. They are perfect for people who want to use their Foodhealth for fighting rather than producing but are not afraid to spare a few FFs for working (unlike Infantry Pack Users). I will give you the amortization time for a brand new company (1230 Gold), the 90% price (1107 Gold) and the discounted price (864 Gold). For all of those I will assume WaM + workers being used. (11 x Daily Profit - 10 x Salary + 120cc)
Daily Profit WaM only: 1069.95cc
Tycoon Pack Users: 1144.69cc
Daily Profit WaM + Workers: 3089.45cc
Tycoon Pack Users: 3911.59cc
Brand New Amortization: 227 Days
Tycoon PackUsers: 180 Days
90% Amortization: 205 Days
Tycoon Pack Users: 162 Days
Discounted Amortization: 160 Days
Tycoon Pack Users: 126 Days
Keep in mind though, that the Q7 Weapons prices recently, spontaneously increased by about 5cc, causing uncommonly high profits. Over a year, expect the profits to at least half, thus the amortization time to at least double.
Still, I rate it on P4 for its QoL properties.
5) Q3 Food
At Q3, Food Companies start to become a luxury item and are only worth it during discounts. 80 Gold is the normal and 59 Gold the discounted price.
Daily Profit: 171.97cc
Tycoon Pack Users: 184.86cc
Amortization: 266 Days
Tycoon Pack Users: 247 Days
Discounted Amortization: 196 Days
Tycoon Pack Users: 183 Days
Pro Tipp: On Black Friday, if there will be a discount, I will buy 31 new (32 total) Q7 Weapon Factories. On average they'll need at least about 10.400 WRM daily to operate. About 3080 Q4 WRM companies will be needed to produce WRM for me alone, so a Q4 WRM company is even more so a safe investion.
My advice for placing your companies

How bout Q5 WRM factories?
They are also good, but if you want to spend this amount of Gold on one company, you're better off with a Q2 or Q3 Food.
Awesome! I'm at 150q4 wrm companies but idk what to do now, I'm unsure if its better to use the ffs in air or to work as manager.
That's 1500 energy for WAM ?
yeah 1500 energy everyday... in a week thats 112k air damage i could've done (thats 11k rank and almost 2SH) So i'm not sure what to do... WRM or airrank
If you don't also efficiently go for SHs, you should rather work in your companies. You get about 52cc per work OR 520cc = 0.9 Gold per Energy Bar worth of Energy. When you're good at hunting SHs, you get about 0.6 Gold per 100 health.
Or to put in in another perspective: You get 54600cc per week.
So you should ask yourself:
Would you rather have 5,000,000cc or 1,000,000 Air rank?
I spend 750 energy a day and already think is too much 😁
@SandwichKiller you are Wing Commander, that's a good rank. With my rank I think I will buy some companies this next black friday 👀
Thanks for the prespective!
Endorsed with 100 CLP, should be more

Endorsed, great article Marcel
What do you think about the food bonus in Tokyo Japan? Is good to right?
And the Q4 FRM gives a good daily profit in your opinion?
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about Tokyo. It's a great region, too and apparently extremely save. I even have a holding there for this reason, no companies yet though.
Well, with the same metrics, you'll earn 24.48cc per work without TP in a Q4 FRM. That's not really profitable at the currrent prices. There are better options.
The only time at which FRM makes sense is when there's a massive boost in health recovery, most likely during the anniversary (19.Nov or so). In the first day or two, the food prices explode, then the FRM prices explode even more.
v+s
20/30 days for a Tycoon Pack?
8 Days with, 2 Days without Tycoon Packs and repeat. Also, it's easy to calculate with even if it's most likely between 19.5 to 19 I think.
at what price did you put the Tycoon Packs into the calculation?
The cost has no place in these calculations at all.
By the way, Tycoon Packs aren't really worth it to use for WaM, so let's assert I assumed someone who uses them already for one of two other reasons (Employees and Gold Buying).
3080 q4 wrm ??? amazing , o7
q4 wrm better than q3 or q5 wrm ?
Way better than Q3 and well, beginners get a better value from Q4 WRM while Q5 is when you want to reduce your Energy usage.
I am currently spending 2800 health on wam. Thank you for good article. I will reevaluate my plans for black friday.
BP+ Tycoon ??
No. I only use Q1 & Q2 house. Tycoon only for more gold exchange.

Voted!
Support me with one sub pls 🙂 https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/newspaper/biter-s-news-325370/1
Great article boss o7
Nobody should place companies in China, Iran, Peru or Portugal!

Marcel, out of curiosity, how many companies do you have? it boggles my mind thinking about how much you produce
1045 assigned companies and 832 unassigned ones. So 1877. It used to be way over 2k though... I am downsizing a bit to hunt SHs and instead have fewer, better companies to WaM.
Put your company to Iran so Asteria can wipe USA forever, logic o7
cool....
(ok)
Great
Thanks
