Buildings

Buildings are essential for long-term success. Buildings provide income, bushels, or other resources and require turns and empty acres to create.

Overview

Each building is worth $35 networth. There are seven types of buildings, listed below.

Enterprise Zone

Building enterprise zones increases a country's maximum PCI. A country's max PCI is multiplied by (1+2*Ent/Land). If a country has 50% of its land covered by enterprise zones, maximum pci is doubled. This is optimal for casher ignoring food consumption. If a country has 100% of its land covered by enterprise zones, maximum pci is tripled.

Enterprise zones are essential for the casher strategy.

Residence

Residences increase a country's maximum population. At 50% of acres built as residence population is doubled. This is optimal for casher not considering food consumption. The extra formula for the population increase is

=(24*(1-0.95*Taxrate)*ResTech*GvtPOP)*residences

Residences are essential for the casher strategy.

Industrial Complex

Industrial complexes produce military per turn. The percentage of industrial complexes producing each military type can be set in the manage page.

Industrial production can be increased with industrial tech or by switching to the communist government. At 100% production, one industrial complex can produce 1.86 troops, jets, turrets, 0.4 tanks, or 0.62 spies.

Industrial complexes provide the only way of acquiring spies and are the quickest way of gaining military, making them favored for certain startups. In addition, industrial complexes are heavily used by the indy strategy.

Military Base

Military bases do not directly produce anything. Instead, they decrease military expenditures and private market prices. Military bases are used in the military base reseller strategy.

Research Lab

Constructing research labs increases a country's tech per turn. Research labs provide increasing returns to scale. The exact formula for tech per turn is

=Round(0.13*Labs*(1+Labs/Land)+3,0)

Research labs are used for tech starts and the techer strategy.

Farm

Each farm produces 5.3 bushels per turn. The number of bushels per farm can be increased with agri tech or by switching to the fascism government. Farms are often used for startups because bushels can be sold on the private market for instant income. In addition, farms are essential for the farmer strategy.

Oil Rig

Each oil rig produces 2 barrels of per turn. The number of barrels per rig can be increased with by switching to the fascism government. Oil rigs are the main buildings for the oiler strategy and are sometimes used to self supply attacking needs by warrers or other countries, specifically when oil prices or supply are instable.

Construction Site

Construction sites (CS) increase buildings per turn (BPT), which is a measure of how many non-cs buildings can be constructed in one turn. One contruction site always requires one turn to build. As a regular government, 4 CSes get you 1 BPT.

• 140 CS = 40 BPT
• 180 CS = 50 BPT
• 220 CS = 60 BPT

Unused Land Area

Technically not a building, empty acres produce 0.4 bushels per turn. The number of bushels per empty acre can be increased with agri tech or by switching to the fascism government. Buildings require empty acres to construct: if a country wants to construct X buildings, it must have at least X empty acres.
