Logistics costs in Secret Government

Secret Government

Global strategy game about secret societies. You’ll lead the Brotherhood - an organization that juggles the whole world. The key feature of the game is the manipulation of powers. Instead of giving direct orders, the Brotherhood provokes countries into doing what the Brothers want.

As you know, there is a quite complex economic model used in Secret Government. Today we’d like to address an aspect of logistics. Probably, you haven’t focused on the logistic costs parameter, but it is essential when setting the price if you buy or sell goods outside the region. You can see this parameter when you hover the cursor over the trade route.

If it’s a large mountainous area, the transportation costs will be high in this region. There is a logistic coefficient for all regions in the game. Bear this in mind when considering directions for trading if you want to reduce the final price of the goods. You can also influence the logistic costs directly. To do this, use an errand for the Minister of Industry in the government of the country you need. The "Develop road infrastructure” errand will reduce transportation costs. You might use this tool if you want to influence the economies of countries at a deeper level.
