I'm planning to do a Theo destock this set. When switching to monarchy, I understand my goods, military, tech and buildings will take a hit. Will my cash on hand also take a hit when I switch?

Cash on hand should still be there. Unless something wonky happens.

OK thank you

You are welcome :)

You also lose 14-39% of your cash on hand when you switch.

Well crap. I don't remember losing cash on hand before during destock switch.
Sorry Kevro.

😕

Kevro: The way you get the theo destock done is...

1) Spend all your cash on food so you have no cash on hand.
2) Put max of everything on the market (military, food, oil, tech), because stuff on market doesn't get hit the by gov switch penalty.
3) Switch to monarchy. You take a hit here.
4) Recall everything back. Sell your food at the monarchy private market prices (max 38 on this server).
5) Switch to theo. This should be free, cos going from monarchy to anything is free.
6) Buy military on PM, start with troops, then tanks, then jets, then turrets.

Enjoy!

Thanks nite. Arod gave me a link to a nice destock guide. Same steps you just gave me but I didn't see anything about cash on hand. Thanks for the extra details about buying order too!

Think I will give this a try but a couple thoughts/questions. First as to the cash don't you have to keep enough on hand to put stuff on market and then recall it? Also when you put tech and military on the market you can only sell half your total it appears. So let's say you have 1 mil troops so you put half 500K on market can you then sell again right away and protect another 250K? Same with food don't you have to keep enough on hand so you don't run out?

Sorry for double post still trying to figure stuff out

If you put the max troops for sale, you can't sell any more until some of those troops sell or you make/buy more. Same goes for tech and anything else where you are limited by a percentage. And yes, you will need to have enough cash and bushels on hand to cover your expenses for placing your stuff on the market and the recalls. You will take a hit, but it should be very minimal. Don't forget you have to place your tech and goods on the market separately and separate recalls, so plan accordingly. Good luck, hope it works out for both of us!

You can only place 25% of goods/tech on the market(35% for commie). You can place 100% of food/oil, but keep enough food/cash on hand for w/e turns you will use.

You can place 25% of military/tech on market, 33.75% for commie.
However, on Express these numbers are 45% and 60.75% respectively, since because of the rapid turn rate in this server it was decided that indies and techer had to be able to sell off a greater portion of their products per sale. This has the added benefit of enabling the player to protect more of his assets from government switching losses. :)

#1 is why I didn't lose it.
That explains it :)

Ty for all the information everyone, and the breakdown nite. I was able to set a personal best this set finishing over 44 mil nw! Crushed my previous best by a cool 12 mil.
