I can't be the only one who tired to fight. It's the same thing over and over. But how good is an extra 20% bonus? Is it really worth the price?
It's very hard to compare countries to one and another. But I've chosen three countries.
Sweden 40/40
Poland. 100/100
Australia. 0/0
Sweden because it’s my native country. Poland because it's a big country with 100/100. And finally, Australia because it has a very similar population to Sweden.
In my latest article I made a some calculation in Sweden based on its market. Easy and straightforward. I've decided to use the same template for this article. Here is Sweden followed by Australia.
Both Sweden and Australia have 25% VAT on weapons and food. As you can see, there's no big different between the countries. You make almost the same “profit” on weapons and food companies. The only significant difference is the Raw Material companies.
I'm aware that Poland has more citizens and therefore more items produced and a more realistic price war. But as you can see on the picture, a Pole makes a lower profit than a Sweden and an Australian in factories.
Conslusion: In my opinion something has to be changed. People are quitting because there's no really "goal" in this game. Bonus regions are worthless. 3000 god of wars. Players with 30k strenght. I don't know what you think. I think everything in this game most be changed. Economic moudle. War module. Influence system. And so on. Soon it's too late. The game already got a bad reputation.
Tell me if you have two better countries to compare ( similar population and with different bonuses like 100/100 versus 0/0 )

really good and intresting.
You can still live in for example Poland a month or so and save all the produced weapons and then move back and sell in Sweden for higer prices and make a profit. I did that a while back but then the market wasent really as fu**ed up as now🙂

@C.Nilsson It's possible. You can either make a big profit or a big loss. ; )
"People are quitting because there's no really "goal" in this game. Bonus regions are worthless."
You just said it. Even the old days when only few regions had high bonuses were more interesting.
Great article!
As you say, the resource bonuses do make a very big difference from RM and particularly WRM. Saltpeter still seems like the best investment as it uses less energy/unit than grain/fruit. Poland's payback period is 50% of Australia, so the impact of the resource bonus on that industry is very significant.
The big problem is the lack of profitability in manufacturing, it's just not worth it. You buy companies because you are already rich, not to become rich.
Send a ticket to the admins! we want a change!
Voted! Great article!
There is no real bonus in factories, you can use more resources and produce more food or arms, but the ratio raw material/production don't change, so i don't understand where is the problem ?
If they give a real 200% bonus to the factories (changing the ratio, 5/1 instead of 10/1), the small countries will be economically totally destroyed.
