yes to all three, but the third one is a bit tricky, i wouldn't rely on that. because you'll need all of workers, so you'll have to jack some things way up, and end up with problems later
the best way to do what your thinking, would be to use C3s to manhandle your work force into being what you want. you want to increase your EI? raid a C3, and before you do anything else, close the schools, wait a gm, then transfer out to get your teachers and professors. do the same with hospitals. once your get your ei at 150 or above, then start trading in HTS, lots and lots of HTS, and HLM, and HTE, and for good a WS, lots and lots of MLM. if you set your education priorities right, you can smooth it out nicely over time.
what your thinking, is that you way over educate, and use the high salary professionals to trade in for fresh llw. the thing i'd advise against that, don't turn this game into a job.
what you want i
I overeducate to get the welfare up so that my corps can build up faster a free 25% production without effect of salaries. but geez do those worker levels suffer. And I can't drop the execs down if i need to. But I think I've got a couple strategies to work out. And I can also see the massive time needed if done the wrong way
with out looking, i might offer an alternate suggestion. change your building plan, to build more of the heavy HTS via corps such as ammo upgrades, and ammo parts, even solid missle fuel can be really cool... but sounds like you do have a good plan!
Drew,
To increase production in corporations, you need to get the welfare index in these corporations as high as possible.
Part of it comes from the welfare index in the country. In that index, education is important but education > 120 does not add much. you need education >120 for other reasons.
you also need transportation > 120, health >120, and good supplies in the country (no shortages). All these are not too difficult to achieve.
The other major factor in the corporate welfare index is the salary level in the corporations.
This is a tricky one because increasing it to very high levels will increase the cost.
Up to some salary level, the increased level brings more revenue than the cost involved.
The effect is not linear. if you double the salaries you do not double their effect on the welfare index in the corporation.
example: if salaries go from a level of 400 to a level of
Thanks I got that lol. My ed level is my established countries are even over 200. Probably a bit excessive I know.
I've did my studying and hypothesis testing in this area already Andy, But thanks anyways. I've been tooling things a lot. Corporate welfare (salaries) + country welfare (ed, health etc)~ production.
So if i'm willing to let my country take the hit of boosting welfare levels with excess ed, health etc. My corps themselves will benefit, despite inefficient costs for my country. That's the move I was making. But let's say my ed is 224.22 ummm... some random # maybe... I notice that my worker shortages are ALWAYS LMH Level Workers, not managers, or high tech guys. Is this a proper coorelation? I've moving around this issue anyways, but when planning for the future it would be nice to know. Hypothetical situation if I had an education level of 450 (don't know if possib
thats why i'm saying, if you have that high EI, make use of it by putting the higher salary workers, to work. if you are relying on raiding, for workers, then you will have to keep doing it. making it a job. use the advantage if raiding for certain boosts. using c3's for EI, and HI, and for stacking up extra HTS, thumbs up!! trading HTS, for llw? well it works, but you'll run across other problems, and you'll be stuck in having to do it more to dig out!!
no i get you, thanks orbiter. i was just hoping to get some more math. The more math you get the more perfect you can plan. So I think my main questions are answered. And th higher ed is the less low level employees you get. I've really got to rank back up.
To get to 5 though, pop growth is far too slow. Oh well thanks everybody
and what about the haircut?
that pic is 4 years old, when i entered corporate America it got chopped off =(
something about you triggers my spidey senses. i'm watching you.
To Andy, let the game play and people help each other. Seriously. No offence intended. Its nice to see you are helping, but that, its better seeing players helping players. Thanks anyway.
PS to Drew: change that picture to a more current one. i don't like this long haired one. oh i have been known to kill people for less reasons in this game. need i say more? :P

DREW you have less than 24 hours to meet my above demands.
~ a friendly message (or is it?) from your neighborhood spiderman
Spiderman is lame. I don't like it, change it.
Plus the most recent long haired male fashion choice resembles freedom of expression, disdain for authority, and a sense of simplistic values. It would be so hypocritical for me to cut it. You being a fascist goes against what I stand for, everything I'm about, so no I will not conform to your outlandish demand. Just as it's not right for me to tell you to change your immature uncreative alterego of spiderman. In which never demands anyone else to conform to something so non-utility
Ugh....... someone who has NO sense of humor. I find your reply and name calling rather amusing and sad as well, Drew. You need to lighten up or you won't last long in this game. lol My posts were in fun, your reply seems rather mean spirited to me. Tsk tsk Shame on you. You must like being mean to girls.
Never fear, I won't waste my time goofing off with you any further. I dun like people who have no sense of humor.
But still... I say... CUT YOUR HAIR! wanna know why? cuz I can! ha ha ha aha You are welcome to dec me, if you like! (Thank Gawd for War Level 0! he he he)

I am formerly known as Lorelei or KissOfDeath aka Jan to my game friends.
Nope, it ain't Peter Parker
Welcome back Jan. I'm glad everything went with your operation.
Thank you, Keto. I was very fortunate, and it's good to be back. I lived so I could eternally plague you all in SimCountry. he he he I told Crafty I was too feisty and ornery to let it get the best of me! ha ha ha
I have had fun being spiderman. lol Poor Drew and that Jesus impersonator (SCOWL), they just dun know the extent of my bossiness. ha ha ha And as for Drew, I figure I'm old enough to be his Mom, and I say...... GET A DAYAM HAIRCUT! Dun give me none of that "individuality" and "express yourself" crap. lol I think I'll start a game poll, and the Sim community can put it to a vote! :-P
I had a sssssneaky feeling it was you. Glad the operation went well.
Don't you mean sssssssnakey feeling?
