Level system question

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 01.06.2009, 14:26

The main page of the level system says this:

"Level system:
To reach the next level you have to reach the required amount of cash and fixed assets."

Does the level system combine the total score of Fixed Assets AND cash to determine the level?

e.g.
Does this mean that I can have 2 million caps worth of Fixed Assets, but only 60 cents of actual cash, and still reach the Retailer level?

Yes

On the finances page the assents are listed as cash and fixed assets which combined give your company value.

so they go by the total score in the "Assets" section on the finances page?

I'm not too far away from reaching the Retailer level in that case

Just to confirm all money and assets are added together to decide your level. The only way you cant level up, but having all the money is by not logging in XD but that makes no difference really

well no difference to help you at least XD

If someone accepted a contract that put you in over the level boundry but 1million caps you wouldnt level till ou log on-that's why you may soemtimes see people with I duno, 10.7billion caps of cash and still in the Big Indusrialist level.

Also remember assets are harder to get than cash, assets are the cost in MONEY ONLY into building/expanding your buildings. That means it doesn't include the steel, stone or wood used to make it(which cost more than the money to expand/build it)

Finally, Well done on finding and usuing the forums- many players dont ever do that and it's wonderful to have some new players on the board

So welcome and have a good time here at kapilands! If you ever need any help dont hesitate to mail me on either realm or ask on the forum

Thanks for confirming that

The forum is really helpful for figuring things out that the in-game help pages don't explain, or don't explain clear enough for someone that's not a native speaker.
(I'm not a native English speaker. But I don't like the Dutch version of Kapilands :p)

Right now most of my money is in Fixed Assets, I read that it's better to have several 20m

It always surprizes Me when I start to play a new game and folks mention that few newbies come to the forums. If there is one then it is one of the first places I go. You can oft find good hints and tips from the more experienced players that definatly help you avoid making too many stupid mistakes and wrong assumptions.

I know it would be better to build new buildings but given there is a limit to how many you can have I am not rushing to build until I am sure as to what direction I want to take My company.

I've got a 30m2 powerplant and well, a 20m2 plantation and RC(Well&mine) and once I have made enough money a mine is the first new building I'll be after.

My main focus is to supply construction materials (stones), so several mines are needed for me.

Eventually once I have enough money, I'll move over to supplying other raw materials as well.

I'm usually horrible with economy based games and tend to end up bankrupt quite easily, but (partially) because of these forums, my company value is increasing by at least 100.000 a day!

Stick with stone on realm 2. (My Realm 2 company has 100 mines.) The profit has the best return if you don't want to bother researching. (Which costs a lot of money.)

Building materials:
Steel - Don't go anywhere near steel. Just buy it off the NPC for 135c a unit as producing it will cost you more. (That is if you calculate paying off your products and building.)
Wood - Good money maker - low fixed assets. (Which can help out as every level you can you get a new production penalty.) At this point, stay with Q0. Why? Most people buying quality wood require a min. much to high for you to catch up to.
Stone - Good solid money maker.

I checked out what base items everyone needs and have focused on those first power, water and wood I can do already. Oil gives a good income for a beginner at the moment (But I want a few points of quality to give me an edge against the other newbies when it comes to sales).

The mine gets Me stone and the materials I need for steel (And I have the RC already for mining production)

A factory will let Me manufacture gas as well as steel so thats on the list too.

Once I have the basics covered I'll decide which direction to take the company in.

Judging on what Azer Productions says, My strategy so far is actually working.

I do build E-components/CPU's and then computers, but that's just something for the shop, not the public market.

it also gives me something to do while I wait for my stone and water production.

Stones: for selling in the market.
Water: 1 unit is needed to make each stone, so making my own water cuts down my cost a little for making stones.

The only thing I have to buy right now is power, but I'll probably end up building my own power plant eventually.

When R3 opens up I'll probably put my main focus on that one. Meanwhile I've started a R1 company (Same name) and started it in a different direction than My R2 one in order to learn more ready for R3

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 01.06.2009, 22:09

Hehe, For now I'm all R2, but as soon as that one runs well, I've already got names planned for other VerConMat companies on other realms.

Well that explains why I didn't level up yesterday

Now the records show it took me 1 day and 1 month to get from Retailer to Manager*

* This was achieve inefficiently due to me going away for a couple of days and all my contracts being signed while off line, so its current 27m cash and 40 m FA where players should be aiming for something like 4m cash 60m FA to level up.
