Title: The NOT SO Free Love & Trade of Nova Amere - UPDATED MARCH 25th
Post by: partyboy on January 16, 2013, 11:56:27 pm
NEW TRADE POLICY:  YOU MAY ONLY TAKE ANY S&D THAT EXCEEDS 1000.  If do not understand, what I mean is if there is 1200 s&d available, you may take 200.  I need shit for myself too and if I suspect you of taking it I will attack you.

WE ARE NOW A BUY FIEF

Greetings weary travellers!  Looking for a place to rest your feet?  To buy some goods?  Nova Amere is under new BIRD CLAN management and is inviting one and all to come trade and party.

Tired of being turned away from fief after fief, with perfectly good cash but no faction will sell to outsiders?  Load up at Nova Amere!  UPDATED TRADE STATS AS FOLLOWS:

-Low price of 8 per item!
-Low tax of 10%!
-The rest pumped into prosperity with more prosperity every day!
-Lush forest scenery!

BIRD CLAN respectfully wishes that, if you're coming in, you leave the war at the door.  All past hostilities are considered a thing of the past and there is no ill will towards any who wish to visit.

Does that mean you still love me? No homo?

All hostilities are ended.  Whether or not the love is homo is something we have to discuss in private.  But when you're ready, I don't want to rush you into anything.

Now taking community input on whether Nova Amere should be a high price fief or low price fief when the pp reset goes through.  If you plan on stopping by a lot then let me know what works!

You have a lot of sell villages near by, so I would recommend a buy village.. regardless just make sure to add a couple brothels and I'm sure it will be booming, you did say free love afterall  :P

I'd like to recommend a buy aswell, it's more important to have a high sell price than it is to have a low buy price wich means you can drop it to 5-7 and then put the rest into prosperity and tax for maximum profit.

So low price sounds great but please clarify what Aderyn was saying and why it was mixed up?

Also Aztek brothels are not a good investment in a village of free love.

And I think Aderyn was trying to say if you went to a sell village, You would HAVE to put most of your points getting it to 23+ gold to make it worth it, where as a buy village you can get it to 7 gold, Which wouldn't take as many points, and put the rest into prosperity for more yield.

Wouldn't it be the same amount of points spent whichever way you go from 15?  7 would be the same as 23.  I know this because I have it all written down on a notepad like a big ol' nerd.

Yes It would be the same. I was going to say that.

But look at the map. the BLUE Zone is Off limits, so your trade has to be primarily from the north section. Make a fief that would make northern trade zones look appealing.
(TKOV trades amongst itself mainly as well as bisecting the map and making north south trade not as good as those factions hate each other, like FCC and Occitan etc)

Hm I'm seeing a lot of the furthest fiefs on the map as high priced in the north and not a lot of buy fiefs in the middle, except Desire's.  I liked the idea of a high sell fief though, because I'm under the impression that the goods have to be sold to get the tax money and I am an impatient babby.

What's your prosperity at? It might be better not to respec at this point depending on what you have.

Unless the system changed you'd only have half your current points after the respec.  The numbers could be slightly off but on October 2nd we had 233 points after they let everyone respec their villages, and villages get 1 point per day so 88 points later you'd have 321, divided by two is only 160 points.

Fief points system:

Unless your prosperity is really low, I'd say say don't respec and keep on putting points in prosperity.  The Uslum to Amere distance bonus is 299% btw so people might get a similar distance bonus from other fiefs on the edge of the map.

Yeah, the prosperity is barely touched so getting rid of the weapon upgrades will get me slightly ahead of where I am now.  A pp reset would be awwwwful nice right about now.
Title: Re: The Free Love & Trade of Nova Amere
Post by: Aderyn on January 18, 2013, 02:48:31 am
to clarify what i meant by that statement partyboy

1 point less in cost is 1 less to buy it for, but 1 point higher in sellprice is 4 with 400% farawaybonus.

so if you had a 7 village you would buy 1k tradegoods at 7k.

But when you sell those at 400% at a 23 village you get 23*4 = 92/each (92 000)

so if you go into a village with 24 price you get 24*4 = 96/each (96 000)

but if you bought a tradegoods at 6 you'd only save 1k in total compared to making 4k.

TL;DR sellvillages need to be very high price for good profit, buyvillages doesn't matter as much.
Especially considering how much pp it takes to lower the price after 7, the prosperity is more worth it imo.

My Village (Tadsamesh) is a free trading village as well, prosperity isn't the best but it is 'decent' feel free to buy there whenever.

Yeah, I think I'm going to go low-price buy fief since I don't have to max out the price to have people buy from it.  Ya'll got about two days to get your sell on.

Title: Re: The Free Love & Trade of Nova Amere
Post by: partyboy on January 22, 2013, 06:59:30 pm
Something pretty low, I don't have many points to work with and I think prosperity is more important in the long run.

What is prosperity? That'd be at least helpful to me.

I got it up to 484 and I think I get 3 points a day?  So it'll raise by 6 every day.

Do you know who did it? I'll go and temporarily exile them to EU for their war crimes.

They messaged me, which was appreciated, and since it was also pretty much within 24 hours of me changing the policy I can't really fault them for not checking every thread every hour.  I was just ragin'.
