Newbie question - factory upgrade

[innohub]

Hello,

I got a newbie question….may I upgrade a minor factory that is originally controlled by other country?  For example if I am a Germany player may I conquer India factory and than upgrade that one into a major one for my own use?

No, you can’t. Quoting the rules:

Major industrial complexes can only be built on originally controlled (not captured) territories with an IPC value of 3 or higher.

While India does have a sufficient IPC value for a major industrial complex, it would not be an originally controlled territory for Germany, but a captured one.

Ah got you.  Thanks for quick response.
