This image is exactly today's topic ! The road to succes in this game is very difficult , as I told you in the last episodes . Smart investments are required and the most important thing , time . The competition is tough , depending on the amount of products offered by this game . In the overprices episodes , we understood that we can't make deals with many natural resources , but there are some resource types , offered by the INDEPENDENT SUPPLIER . The independent suppliers offer you an unlimited amount of products . Very good ! Thank you ! That means , the game is not done ! The secret in this game is to build products , that require less resources , a low production cost and a good buying price .
LET'S USE OUR BRAINS IN A CONSTRUCTIVE WAY
First of all , we need to check the accessible resources .
SERVER : MARY
So , you need to choose a production type .
Hmmm... clothes ? or no , a farm ? What should I choose ? Maybe I build a distillery ...
YOU NEED TO STUDY THE MARKET FIRST !!!
If 500 people are producing clothes in your country , you don't start the production right there . You need to analyse first .
More about market analyse : "Virtonomics Episode 3" .

In my opinion , a good start will be a production , that requires only 1 resource . There can be used more than 1 too , but they need to be cheap . Be very careful by choosing the production !
Example :
Farms . Farms are maybe the most important production in this game . The only production unit you need is grain .
Grain is very cheap and you can easily afford it . Now , here comes the interesting part . What kind of farm should you build ? Do you want to produce milk , wool , meat , eggs , leather ? Or you want just to raise animals and sell them ? Both ways are good investments , but you will need the animals to start your farm . And this is how people sell them :
CHICKEN
PIG
SHEEP
COW
Wow , "smart boys" everywhere . They hate competition so much , that they set an OVERPRICE on this animals . Look at the prices of cows , impossible . Maybe if they see this post , they will change it ...
So , now it's time to use our brains . Start a risky , very expensive business ? Or analyse the market more ?
We choose the second option . Let's see what more can we build with grain .
Hmm , the beer production looks interesting from all of this . But you can choose whatever you want to produce . Remember : You have not so many choices to make !
Ok , so this server isn't that friendly with grain . But can the other server change something ?
SERVER LIEN :
Let's take the same example with farms in LIEN .
Price of grain :
So the suppliers price is the same , interesting . But let's see the animals , maybe they have better prices per unit :
CHICKEN
PIG
SHEEP
COW
All the animals have good prices . You can easily start by raising them for mass production of milk , eggs , meat , wool or leather . From this point of view , you should start your farms in server LIEN . You have the eggs , meat , milk , wool and/or leather . What can you do with them ?
SHEPHERDS ( SHEEP )
Sheeps can produce wool and meat .
This is the most important thing in any farm . The amount that can be produced !!!
What can you do with wool ?
LIEN
MARY
What can you do with meat ?
LIEN
MARY
You can use meat for production , in restaurants or sell to people in stores .
Restaurants that require meat :
LIEN
MARY
POULTRY WORKER ( CHICKEN )
Poultry farms can produce eggs and meat , but they are essential for it's most important production , eggs .
What can you do with eggs ?
LIEN
MARY
They can also be used in production of other goods , stores and restaurants .
PIG WORKERS ( PIG )
In pig farms can be obtained : leather and meat .
What can you do with leather ?
LIEN
MARY
Leather can be used only for production . Artificial leather can be made without animal leather.
COWSHED WORKERS ( COW )
Cowsheds are the most expensive farms . They can build : milk and meat .
What can you do with milk ?
LIEN
MARY
Milk can be used for production of other goods , restaurants and stores .
