| Author | Clan flag next to factories and about shares. |
|---|
Each factory or mine has a clan flag next to it?
What does it mean?
Also I saw in the trading forum share of factory being sold?
What does that do?
Thank you :) |
That is the clan that has control of the facility. The clan receives profits by the end of the day depending on how many people enrolled in the facility. In turn, the clans must defend the facility from Survilurgs (AI). You can check out a clan's log and find defenses that happened there and also the profits from the facilities e.g
2020-09-26 00:01: Based on previous day results for defending map facilities (413, 414, 418), the clan is awarded 8718 gold.
Other clans can attack the facility to destroy it so the clan that has control over it loses the facility. Then they can try and capture the facility by performing multiple attacks (this is the log of the captures https://www.lordswm.com/mwlog.php).
Factory shares are a new thing, each week you get the percentage amount of shares owned from the profit from that facility e.g if you own 1% of the shares then you get 1% of the profit the facility made in that week. Basically can be some passive income each week. Also owning a share allows to participate in voting and management of it (although you need at least 2 shares to start any votes but can participate in voting even with 1: https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=2785343)

Thank you for the explanation.
The facility control fights seems pretty intense! I guess the income to the clan cancels out the fighting cost. Or is it profitable to keep control?
For the share thing - do the shareholders eventually get good return on investment? The cost seems quite high (300k to 600k range) for some measly dividend (500-600) per week. example - https://www.lordswm.com/object_sh_info.php?id=52 |
It is profitable to keep control. The fights can cost the clan nothing if they decide to not pay any extra percentages. That is why you sometimes see clans advertising payment of 130% for defenses (they sorta pay the extra 30%). The PvP parts can be expensive due to the set rents and the captures depends if the clan is willing to pay.
I guess it could be a good return but it will take ages if you don't want to sell off the share at a certain point. If you don't want to sell it off, it can take many years to get back the money spent on it XD Also no one knows how the prices will go, they could go down so you may get less of a return or even a loss eventually. Although, that is just my personal take I do not fully know why you'd invest that much into them. Maybe some people are making profits by lowering prices of the artifacts in the facilities and then re-selling on market, not sure. |
