[Black Friday] in the Netherlands
Shawtyl0w
Dear citizens of the Netherlands,
I'm writing this article mainly for the purpose of helping our young citizens. There are a few things that players relatively new to the game need to purchase during black friday.
Energy centers
On the advanced building page you will find your energy centers. During black friday permanent energy centers can be purchased at a large discount. These energy centers are the best investment if you do not have them yet. I'm not 100% sure but you can buy them either on the advanced building page or the gold store page.
Training grounds
The government refunds upgrades of your training grounds. If you are a new player and have little gold fist buy the energy centers. Important to know is that the ROI of training grounds depends on their quality level. I advise you to upgrade your first training ground (free) to quality 4.
Once you've upgraded your first training ground you have to make a choice. You can invest in companies or try to upgrade your 2nd training ground (the one that costs 0.19gold to train in). I recommand investing in food companies first if you have very little strength.
Food companies
If you want to build food companies you will need to create a holding company in Western(max bonus)/Southern/Eastern Netherlands. Once you've created your holding company it is time to purchase a food company which costs 10 gold. Here you can find information on how to build holding companies.
Once you've bought the food company you can assign it to your holding company. Now you have a quality 1 food company. As a new player with little gold I recommand you to upgrade your food companies to quality 2. For those players who have been around longer and have more gold to spent you can upgrade your food companies to quality 3,4 or 5. If you want to build a food empire or are rich you cna consider quality 6 and 7 which will probably enjoy less polution in the Netherlands.
I mentionned polution above. I believe it best that new players stick to Q2 food companies, older players stick to Q3-5 companies and tycoons use Q5-7 companies. This ensures that the polution of each company quality will remain relatively low and we all profit from maximum production! See production % on the right side in the image below.
Next to food companies you also need to produce Food Raw Material in order to produce your food. I recommand all new players to purchase Quality 4 (cattle farms) FRM companies as shown below. You can use NLG(currency) to purchase these raw material companies and gold to purchase and upgrade your food companies. Older players might want to purchase Q5 FRM companies (hunting lodges) in order to save energy as these FRM companies produce more FRM per work.
I hope this information helps our young citizens to spend their gold and currency wisely!
Yours truly,
Shawtyl0w

Starters please dont make Q1 food. It is such a waste of your money and time. Stick to Q2 as long as possible and when you have enough companies and dont want more, you should upgrade them to Q3. Q4 is not really worth the investment unless you dont know what to do with your gold...

Great article, Shaw
Thank you!
Thanks for that great article, is really great help! 🙂
But I would like to make a small suggestion for improvement: you should first upgrade 2nd training center (as it is positive ROI and you gain strength faster)
and secondary upgrade food + weapon. Because there are many MU, which support eBabies like me, with supplies. So it's a win-win-situation with training center. (eBabies gaining strength faster and therefor subsidies from stronger players are more efficient.)
Profit of only TG 1 is higher than profit of TG1+2. Yes you gain strength faster and yes you will still make a profit but of you just started you will be so far behind in strength that you will not be able to farm D1 BHs before you reach D2 - D4.
Most profit is first TG so that's why I recommand to build food companies after having te first one maxed.

i see. so it's pretty the same consideration for each TG:
If you prefer faster gold, dont upgrade.
If you prefer more strength: upgrade.
Right?
Well yes you could look at it like that.
I believe that someone like you with less than 2k strength should become a pilot at this point. This means leveling up as fast as possible and getting a high aviation rank as fast as possible. Getting higher strength at this point seems pointless to me, but that is just my opinion.
yeah, but it's difficult ...
True on the one hand, on the other hand I'm more use to my country in D1 with higher strength, i guess. So I don't wan't to level up too fast. I think there's no model solution fitting to everyone. But that's what makes that game so interesting 🙂
Vote! Great article! Nice job as always Shawty
Good accessible information!
It was a totally different game back when I joined but I was wandering lost with poor information for a long time.
Thank you Zelig!
