Description:

A rework of the vanilla Russian companies. Most generic companies are currently better than the flavoured Russian ones, leading you to have to choose between the most optimal choice and the flavoured one.

This mod makes the vanilla Russian companies more competitive with the generic companies, making you feel at least somewhat better about choosing them. With careful consideration given to game balance and plausible historicity. For example, if you keep Alaska, the company would without a doubt move into the gold trade after gold was discovered there.

What This Mod Changes:

Russian-American Company

– Removed Whaling industry.
– Added Fishing industry as default industry.
– Added Gold Mines as possible company charter.
– Added prestige good “Taiga Wood”.

New Russia Company Limited

– Added Tooling Workshops as a default industry.

Branobel

– Changed the prosperity bonus to be competitive with Steaua Română (+10% Oil Extractors throughput and +5% Railway throughput).
– Removed Power Plant company charter.
– Added Chemical Plant company charter.
– Requirements changed from 5 Oil Rigs in Azerbaijan to 5 Oil Rigs in any state of the Caucasus.

Izhevsk Arms Plant

– Removed Steel Mills company charter.
– Added Explosives Factory charter.

Society of Putilov Factories

– Removed Munition Plants company charter.
– Added Automotive Industry company charter.

Closing Notes

The New Russia Company Limited is already a good company, especially now with the inclusion of Tooling Workshops. However, Tooling Workshops overlap with many of the best companies. This change simply makes an all-flavoured Russian company setup more viable, without necessarily impacting wider balance, in my opinion.

If you have suggestions for other balance changes or feedback on the current ones, please let me know.
