RoWorld Factory Upgrades: Improve Your Income Plan
Quick answer
- Factory upgrades are described as increasing money generation.
- Choose an existing development area you intend to protect.
- Keep upgrade spending separate from the troops and defenses needed now.
Upgrade for an income problem
The RoWorld public-match guide explicitly describes upgrading factories to make more money. Use that qualitative effect when your next development goal is being constrained by gold, rather than expecting the upgrade to increase troop capacity directly.
Name the purchase you are working toward. If you already have enough gold for the immediate plan but face an active border attack, more income may not be the most urgent commitment.
Improve the location you expect to keep
A factory upgrade concentrates development in an existing area. Choose a location that fits the nation you want to hold, and consider nearby approaches before adding to the investment. The upgrade decision belongs beside the defensive plan for that area.
Compare the current displayed offer with the gold you need elsewhere. A fixed return time is less useful than knowing what the upgrade enables in your present match, especially when the surrounding territory is changing.
Return the income to a campaign purpose
Factory income supports further construction, so decide what should follow the improvement. You may need capacity from a city, naval access from a port or protection for a valuable part of the map. An upgrade is a means to that next action, not a reason to postpone every other decision.
