OIL SHEIK - TRADE WARS Event, Patch Notes
Achievements (new):
- Agent Orange - "Defeat Ronald Dump"
- A giant D.O.U.G.E - [Hidden] (Be investigated by the D.O.U.G.E by creating a special merger composition..)
Ronald Dump is messing with the economy in Oil Sheik. Companies are affected by Trade Wars!
PLACEMENT CHANGES:
- US Fracking Inc is always the first company to appear on the board.
MERGER CHANGES:
- Takeovers can no longer be declined! Even if the deal is atrociously bad.
- If US Fracking Inc takes over either Maple Leaf Oil or Mehican Inc. hazards are introduced: There's a 50% chance a converted tile increases the stock price of the acquiring company at double its effect. At the same time there's a high chance that the takeover offer to the shareholders of Maple Leaf and Mehican is up to 25% worse. (different for each player, random number between 0% and 25% worse)
- China Oil joins the competition by offering up to 50% bonus on mergers with Russian Oil & Gas.
- Ronald Dump, as a player, is excluded from all those hazards. Good or bad.
- Investing in general becomes more risky and volatile: At the end of a round there's a random chance to either: 1) Double ALL dividend income, 2) Having to hand over ALL your dividends to Ronald Dump as a 25% Tariff on your stock portfolio 3) Get Lucky and go under the radar, unpunished
As trade wars emerge over the next weeks, even more companies are potentially drawn in if people play & enjoy the event.
