im just curious, but is everything in this game supposed to be so up and down? it seems like one month, one of my corps will make 1.5B and the very next .3B or even losing money. Does it ever level out? all of my corps i create make products that are consistently in the red.

The monthly income of a corporation has always been erratic... ignore it for the most part, you want to get a good idea of how a corporation is doing check the Profit & Loss for the "Year to Date" and "Last Year".

and also is there a relation to total defense cost and the cost of government? cause i made my defense cost lower, only to see my general cost of government skyrocket.

Er, if you pay attention to the profit and loss for year to date and last year, then you can ignore monthly income... you want to see what the fluctuations average out to and the yearly income is more important precisely because of the monthly fluctuations. Ignore the other person who posted, his statement is incorrect.

No there is no direct relationship between total defense cost and cost of government. They do share factors that may increase/decrease costs for both at the same time (salaries of government workers), but lowering defense costs will never cause general cost of government to increase. It is likely another issue.

My statement was meant to be taken as sarcasm.

But in some cases, WE ARE waiting for things to level out......
