I've read the "Power of Sushi", and scanned through some other articles in the War Academy. I still haven't found a satisfactory strategy article about corporations in general.
Yes, I know, that Rule#1 in Civ is "it's situational." Having said that ....
1. Do many players try to found a corporation? Do you try to found more than one?
2. If you found one, how aggressively do you spread it? The article I found on the costs of founding and opening branches seemed to indicate that costs > benefits for many cities, and that you do *NOT* spread corps like religions.
3. Mercantilism seems to eliminate the effects of domestic (and AI-founded) corps. Is it worthwhile to run merc just to keep AI corp executives out? Does it even make sense to talk about "defense" against AI corporations?
4. Assuming I want to found a corp, like Sid's Sushi. Are there preparations I should make to my cities and economy? Since each requires a great person, it seems like having a GP farm that can make the right kind is pretty much essential.
Bottom Line: I think I have a good understanding of religions, and how that game mechanic affects my planning, strategy and tactics. I want to get there with corps, too.
