I like fast build
like when you take a country just buy the max amount of construction at 100 until no more repairs are needed
way better then getting those immediate buys
and the it goes you need 5000 road so you buy 5000 road I keep it in increments of 1000
companies slow build build when you have labor
schools use up all available teachers and have like a 60 priority on it
hospitals build hospitals and direct sell em your self. it takes much longer to get em off the market
as for the money
buying nuclear sell electric helps
I also get rid of ugly stuff and replace

Make sure you build each aspect of road and education equally. For example, it's pointless to have 130/100/130 for transport, because your index will still be 100.

thats fine within the categories
having
280 on uni and 180 on schools still gives you 180 ed
same with transport
130 health is good
taking over a slave causes half the hospitals to be destroyed of the slave

why is population declining Tom?

not sure why you people have such low expectations on education index. 125 is crap.

200 education is more ideal given the larger corporation sizes and the large number of high tech workers they now require. In fact 200 has been the magic number since I started the game years ago, and corporations were no where near this large.

If I had to pinpoint the cause of this knowledge being obscured, I'd have to blame Supersoldier.

Same with Matt,,, WTF are you on about. you only need 180 for schools, High Schools, and University to get a 180 avg.

The AVG is in FACT NOT an average at all.

The final index avg is actually the lowest possible number of any category of education.

so you have 100 extra point on university for absolutely no reason, wasting money and personnel needed to run them as well MATT!


Ask around a bit, quit spamming crap that misleads people. Docs wouldn't hurt either so I guess I can't be Super mad lol.

Building fast is the way to go if you have the GC to spend and the willingness to click the mouse many, many, many times. You have to spend some GC, but the quicker you do, the faster you'll start making money/GC that will easily pay for itself.

A country on LU that makes 100B per month (very easy) will make 600B per real day. That's 3 GC per day. If you spend 5 GC on pop and purchase 50M pop, that's 250 GC. You will easily make that back within 90 days, all gains after that, you miss out on.

The better way to do it is to buy from somebody that is selling.

maybe, but you are asking for trouble down the line. All that pop bought at about the same time will all age at the same time and you will hit a population bubble. Mass retirement shortages of youngsters and all sorts. Not recommended if you want to be a good long term player, ok for you fly by night types.

Matthew, Concentrate on your next post.


It has to be slightly intelligible, for at least a 3rd grade student to comprehend.

Then you need to actually make a point.

CC, It's served me fine. No problems here, and I've been around as long as you.

You can always build one or more quick to get revenue going, then build others slowly for more long-term and sell the originals. I don't think that;s even necesary

I have no idea how to run my economy. I've been playing since March but now all my public corps are dying for some reason. They are all fully upgraded but are losing value and I can't afford to build new hospitals and edu. WTF.
Can someone take a look- Cassidino Central Territory.
@ Psycho, I had an earthquake conveniently and my pop dropped 200,000.

Tom: set corporation supply quality to 100 and cancel supply contracts.

country companies pay 1b or so in fixed cost
also don't produce over 300Q so set quality
also you don't want super high salaries
