Sales Department Guide

Venture into the Sales department and you'll encounter a dynamic world of commerce, strategic alliances, and global outreach. Here, you navigate the demands of various nations and tap into lucrative contracts.

1. The Five Nations

The game's world is segmented into five main nations, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities. They are characterized by their preferences and biases toward certain robot categories:

  • North Nation: Enduring frigid conditions, this nation values Domestic Helper bots and least prefers Transportation bots. Preferences follow the sequence: Domestic Helper, Entertainment, Surveillance, Construction, and Transportation.
  • South Nation: Highly populated and safety-conscious, they prioritize Surveillance and have a lower demand for Construction bots. Preferences: Surveillance, Domestic Helper, Entertainment, Transportation, and Construction.
  • West Nation: Covering vast lands, their preference leans toward Transportation bots and away from Entertainment. Preferences: Transportation, Construction, Domestic Helper, Surveillance, and Entertainment.
  • East Nation: With a burgeoning population, Construction bots are favored while Domestic Helpers are less in demand. Preferences: Construction, Transportation, Surveillance, Entertainment, and Domestic Helper.
  • Central Nation: Living a laid-back lifestyle, they are fans of Entertainment bots but aren't fond of Surveillance. Preferences: Entertainment, Domestic Helper, Transportation, Construction, and Surveillance.

2. Partnership Agreements

Regularly, a new batch of partnership agreements becomes available. These agreements stipulate the provision of specific robots by a deadline, at a predetermined price.

Key Points:

  • Contract Fulfillment: Once the stipulated robots are provided, the agreement concludes, paving the way for new contracts.
  • Contract Breaches: Failing to meet agreement terms or opting for cancellation leads to financial penalties and a hit to the company's valuation.
  • Contract Acquisition: Players can potentially "steal" another player's contract by offering a premium. However, preventive measures like anti-stealing clauses can be integrated at a cost.
  • Special Conditions: Some agreements come with prerequisites such as achieving a particular company valuation, previous sales milestones, or specific research levels.
  • Governing Body Contracts: After fulfilling a number of regular agreements, a unique contract from a nation's governing body might become available. Securing contracts from all governing bodies is a victory condition.

3. Satellite Offices

As players progress, they have the option to expand their presence by establishing satellite offices in other nations. This expansion grants them access to that nation's market.

4. Sales Management

A dedicated sales manager for a nation can bolster the sale prices of robots under contracts and increase the volume of robots per agreement.

Pro tip

Being attuned to the unique preferences of each nation and securing favorable partnership agreements are pivotal for success. Always be strategic about where you set up satellite offices and which contracts to chase.
