5. 💰 Tips and Tricks: Where to Build RGOs and What to Invest in at the Beginning of the Game
- ✅ Focus on locations that have enough workers, as you will receive the full production of the RGO as soon as it is built.
- ✅ Invest in wood, as it is one of the most used RGOs in the game.
- ✅ You don't have to import a good if you don't have an RGO in your country, as there are buildings that can create the same good.
- ✅ Use the RGO builder to automate the construction of the best goods and filter by control or market access to maximize profits.
