Economic Module Transition Period
The following special updates remain in effect until September 10th, 2011:

• Companies can now be moved internationally, providing they do not contain any currency from their current nation. For example, to move a company from Australia to USA, you would first need to withdraw any AUD in the company.
• Companies can be moved without cost.
• Companies can be deleted, recovering half their base networth. Base networth is the cost of opening the company, plus any tier upgrades.
• Companies can change industry. Doing so will destroy all resources and stock the company possesses.
• When upgrading tiers, a company can convert its existing stock into the new tier (adjusted for changes in productivity) at no extra cost.

How can I move companies internationally?

How can I move companies internationally?

Same as moving them locally, only now all the regions are listed

[cszoli]

LoL

[jany]

There is NO loss for house integrity when using it?

[tirvindi]

In new interface displaying characteristics such as health and wounds are very inconvenient. I must wait some time before will be able to see what I need. And at the end I will see necessary information only for second! Holy slowpoke, I can`t do it so fast!

• When working, the road bonus is now only given to those citizens who used a vehicle to work.

?

so if you are located in the same region as the company you are working for (and thus you don't need to use a vehicle to work) - you don't get the bonus? what's the point? this renders the roads (pretty much) useless

[Xavier Darkmyre]

There is NO loss for house integrity when using it?

Not yet, because the house repair stuff isn't quite ready.

[flopbr]

I cant move my company and there is no currency inside it ):

EDIT: In my weapon company "You cannot move a company internationally while holding BGN. Withdraw the currency from the company and try again" and there is no BGN there.
And in my steel company it shows no region.

[Daniel Leary]

moving the company works great but how do you change the industry?

[Dajko]

"You cannot move a company internationally while holding BGN. Withdraw the currency from the company and try again"
I am 100% sure that I have 0.0000000 BGN in company. What can I do about this problem? This is my grain company and I want to move it from North Island (New Zealand original region) to Missouri vUSA (have grain).

[Angelus Domini]

the Move button (the player button not the company one) is bugged should i open a ticket or it's a known issue?

[jany]

Cannot convert companies to many resources: cement, spice etc.

[Funzine]

moving the company works great but how do you change the industry?

 Easy answers don't turn up out of the blue young grasshopper.
