For brothels it’s even worse due to the lower base average spend.

By my calculations, upgrading a small speakeasy to level 5 would take over 19 years to break even (Prohibition only lasted 13 years and all of my games have ended within a few years). upgrading to level 3 is an additional $3000), while the income increase incrementally (you still only get a $14 uplift in income), the breakeven gets longer with each upgrade. What's more, because the cost increases exponentially (e.g. It would therefore take 2 years 9 months to recoup the $2000 cost. In return your net income goes up by $14 per week (based on 50 customers and a base spend of $4).

As an example, a small speakeasy costs $2000 to upgrade Ambience to level 2. My early impression of the Beta is that there are fewer customers therefore some of my rackets are not full, but this is due to there being too many rackets in the district as I already have positive draw in the rackets that are not full, which means it makes more sense to take someone else's racket to reduce competition rather than upgrading your own.Īmbience - the cost of upgrading is so high relative to the increased income that it takes far too long to break even.

Word of Mouth - I've also never upgraded this because my rackets always seemed to be full other than when I first take them over, therefore there is no point in spending money to increase draw. The same can be said of security upgrades (even though the chances of raids by other bosses are higher, the same principal applies, that you're better off economically letting them take the racket and then either buying a new one or simply taking it back). However, given that the cost of upgrading Deflect is usually more than the cost of buying a new racket, it makes more sense not to upgrade Deflect and then, if a racket is raided, use the money you've saved to bribe the BOI to stop the raid or, if that fails, use the money to buy a new one (or even better take someone else's for free). Having said that, playing the Beta version I have seen an increase in the number of raids. One of the things that originally attracted me to EoS was the combination of the different elements of combat, RPG and economic (racket) management, but I find that the current game design almost discourages racket management as it is not worth the cost.ĭeflect - I've never spent money on upgrading Deflect as the number of raids was so low that it was never a priority for me.

what i saw was that Angelo Genna had 280 pieces of whisky and most other factions were still doing swill and rack, he didnt want to sell a single bottle! i think he didnt even use it, and its very profitable to sell, i always sell alcohol, its fun to trade with the other factions, i like to keep the peace but its almost impossible, hope they bring out a big patch or dlc very fast.I'm really enjoying the game, but I have a major problem with the racket upgrades. Thats true but i settled in a neighbourhood where no other factions where present so they demanded whiskey, i had 50 from a mission but it was gone very fast, you will get less money after that but its not that bad, still big time. you can check every faction wich boose level they have and how many they want etcīut take in account that neighbourhood preference will change down if suddenly violence appears (taking guarded buildings in street ) so always keep a bit of spare, sell swill but keep rack ) Or maybe someone wants to buy 50 pieces at once. Sell it to some of the other factions, in the beginning you will produce a lot of swill like 200 pieces, im selling it to some guy > 5 pieces for 10 bucks < not much but i let it go on until i have 50 left.
