Dealerships and warehouses! 🌍
One of the most common player requests has been the ability to open car dealerships around the world. Today, let’s talk about this upcoming feature.
Just like in real life, car manufacturers invest in their dealerships, brand recognition, and marketing. Soon, you’ll be able to do the same in the game by opening dealership networks in each region. Your network directly affects your brand’s visibility and has an influence level that you’ll need to upgrade separately in each region. As your influence grows, your network expands into more locations. At level 1, for example, your dealerships are limited to the outskirts of capital cities. At level 5, your network reaches full coverage across the region’s cities and countries. The higher your influence, the more people will know your company and have access to your cars.
The start of the game has also been made more realistic. Choosing your starting region now establishes your first dealership there. Other regions will remain unavailable until you open a dealership network in them.
Alongside dealerships, the game is introducing vehicle storage. This covers all cars available for sale at your lots and factories. You’ll need to expand your storage to make more cars available for sale. If production exceeds storage capacity, these limits will cost you potential revenue. Demand also plays a role: the more customers waiting for your cars, the more space you’ll need to store them.
Storing cars will now incur monthly costs, but I’ve paid particular attention to balance: you pay based on how full your storage is, rather than its total capacity. Empty storage costs nothing to maintain, while handling more cars increases expenses. All of this is included in your monthly operating costs.
