Buying Corps from C3's (Golden Rainbow)

I built my enterprise almost exclusively by buying corps for 10B, that had 40B + in cash, and frequently upgraded to 185.. Now I never find those corps. Did the GM's change how they value C3 corps, or reduce the corps C3's build, or what?

I fish in this pond too. It is a cheap way to build up a CEO. I even IPO these away after the value is up as a way to bring cash into my CEO. All of the Investment funds need something to buy, right?

It has to do with the way countries are deregged. In the process all of the corps get reset back to 100, so you have to find them before they get reset. Also, don't be surprised if occasionally you bid on an upgraded corp, but get a reset corp. It happens.

Be patient, keep checking the "green," being de-reg countries. Also, the computer does these in batches. If you get in on the beginning of the cycle, you should be able to get 3-5 rounds of buying in until the reset.

Have fun.
