Iridium Store vs Free Market

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hello,

is there any advantage of building an Irdium Store rather than a Free Market? Both give the same benefits (+10%Gross Income and Influence), but the Iridium Store cost 45 Production instead of just 30 for the Free Market. Also, the Iridium Store is more costly to maintain (0.5 compared to 0.3 for Free Market).

The Iridium Stores can be upgraded to better improvements (specifically to a 15% income, 15% influence, +2 levels to adjacent wealth/influence structures improvement and then to a +25% income, +25% influence, +3 levels to adjacent wealth/influence structures improvement) while the free markets cannot, at least from what I see. More expensive to maintain, more expensive to build and upgrade, yes, but probably better given sufficient time.
