Venture to Mars to Earn Your FortuneWith space travel becoming a reality and the easy-to-reach resources on Earth dwindling, hopeful people seeking their fortune are rushing to the next great frontier: Mars. The competition to dominate the market is fierce in this fast-paced economic RTS from Civilization IV lead Designer, Soren Johnson. Now, Earth's greatest corporate titans have been invited to build companies to support it. ![]() If you find buyouts annoying in general, another option is to play Stock Victory matches, which have a completely different win condition where no one can be eliminated from the game.Mars has been colonized. Note that when you buy someone out, besides making money from their company, you also get a few free claims and any stock they owned becomes yours, so buying someone out is generally immensely powerful and nearly guarantees victory unless another player gets a buyout of another player at almost the exact same time. You can never be fully protected against a buyout, and if your economy falls behind you will lose eventually, the best defense is generally just to focus on making a ton of money to drive your stock price up and eliminating the rivals before they can get enough to buy you out. However, buying all 10 of your shares is rarely the correct play, it's usually better to use that money to improve your economy or eliminate another player instead. If one AI player owns 5 of your shares, and you own the other 5, another player can buy you out, then they will just split control of your company.įor this reason, if you own more than 5 of your own shares, it acts as a buffer, since people have to buy those shares before they can do a buyout. You can never buy shares from someone who isn't the owner of the company, but you don't need to. When doing this, they have to pay twice the share's value. If you own all 10 of your shares, rivals can buy them from you, one at a time, until only 5 are left, which must be bought in a block to eliminate you. You can always buy shares from the owner of the company. Why am I not compensated for those shares at the very least? This makes quite a frustrating late game when my opponents steal my shares from me with impunity whilst I cannot reciprocate. The exact opposite is true for me: when I buy shares in my own company, rival orgs can buy and sell my shares from out under me no questions asked. Once those shares are all owned by another company, I cannot purchase any more, and thus the only other option is a total buyout. What I am finding is that I can only buy shares while the shares are still open for purchase. ![]() you didn't have enough cash available for a total buyout I think the amount needed is indicated when you hover over the buy shares button they were already owned by another AI player in that case, only a total buyout is possible, after which you and the other AI player(s) will own part of the company It's likely that you couldn't buy AI shares because: the shares on the left half, have to be bought as a package, this is the total buyout you're referring to the shares on the right half, can be bought at double price (if I remember correctly) Originally posted by noctilucus:Stock owned by a company itself can indeed be bought by others:
