About Cargo Empires

Account Upgrades

Players have the option to upgrade their accounts to unlock additional features and benefits. Upgrades last for 30 days from the date of payment, offering you enhanced capabilities and advantages for managing your company during that time. Here's what's included in some of the different upgrade options (different options have different benefits):

  • Company Money Boost: Instantly increase your available company funds to help with expansions or new purchases.
  • Maximum Repeatable Routes: Expand your ability to create more repeatable routes, making it easier to automate and streamline your fleet’s operations.
  • Maximum Queued Routes: Increase the number of routes you can have queued at once, giving you more flexibility in creating routes.
  • Increased Loan Amount: Gain access to a higher maximum loan amount, allowing you to secure more funds to grow your company faster.
  • Additional Loan Capacity: Upgrade your account to have more active loans at once, supporting larger and more complex financial strategies.
  • Loan Rate Discount: Enjoy a reduced interest rate on all new loans, saving you money over time.
  • Dynamic Route Maps: Unlock advanced route mapping to visualize and plan your routes more effectively.
  • Custom Company Logo: Personalize your company with a custom logo that sets your company apart.

Remember, these upgrades remain active for 30 days from your payment date. If you pay for an upgrade while still within your current 30-day window, the new payment will extend your access, adding a fresh 30-day period on top of your remaining time. This ensures you can continuously benefit from the upgrades without losing any time.
