Tuesday, July 9, 2013 - 12:45 pm  - The game level awards for game levels 5 and 6 increased. For game level 5, the award is increased from 50 to 60 gold coins. For game level 6, the award increased from 70 to 90 gold coins. Game level awards will increased much further in the coming weeks. - Several game level requirements have been changed. The defensive index requirements are higher. The war level requirements remain unchanged. The game level requirements are for the war level OR the defensive index. This change is announced before and defensive index requirements will continue to increase. The war index and defense index requirements are also slightly increased but the change is not significant because the previous levels were nearly always exceeded by a large margin. - Quality of products used by the country have more influence on the welfare index. When quality is increased the welfare will follow although changes may take a day or two to materialize. The increase in the weight of higher quality may result in a 1 to 2% increase in production in the corporations. - The cost of education, health and transportation will decline. Also some army cost is reduced. The changes will result in an increased profitability in all countries. Changes may take some time to materialize.

| Tuesday, July 9, 2013 - 02:35 pm Hi Andy, when buying higher quality goods for my population, this will cost a considerable amount of money. To spend all that extra cash in order to get a 1-2% increase in production, what would be the point in this? The cost would outweigh the benefit massively. Could you perhaps give an example using real figures so we can see that this would be a good thing? Thanks Teddy

| Tuesday, July 9, 2013 - 07:03 pm I try to order 330 for a product in my country's order strategy but it resets it back to 300. Is 300 quality the max a country can set for its order strategy?

| Tuesday, July 9, 2013 - 07:40 pm I have to agree with teddy 300Q goods increase costs by 300% in one nation i have thats 150B a month -> 450B a month and my TOTAL copreration income form states, taxes, and CEO is only around 60B. 1-2% does nothing to this and makes it WAY outway the costs. Maybe the GM could look into other factors to help bring this down? 300Q goods use 30% less? then 120Q meaning the costs would be near 350B which is high and not as bad, or increasing population growth? 300Q goods = 300Q = 300% brith rate Just little things to consider beside production. Otherwise +1 on the updates

| Wednesday, July 10, 2013 - 12:43 am The 1 to 2% increase will take place if you do not change the quality. if you increase quality, it will increase more. you can try and experiment with it, or leave it as is. There are many aspects to the game that will not do it for you alone, but a combination of several, will do a lot.

| Wednesday, July 10, 2013 - 03:40 pm Good upgrades. I think it is a good strategy to increase the importance of corporations to countries.

| Thursday, July 11, 2013 - 06:54 pm I like this changes Could you also fix % of Housewives Max number of returning house wives is 40% of workers in CEO Controlled Corporations. There is nowhere that only 50% of total number could be return. Max number of Housewives that can return 7,347,097 Number of Housewives that returned to Labor Market 5,364,734 Number of Housewives 10,729,470 so 10 729 470/ 2 is around number that is returned to work and that is my maximum  i will never reach 7M I don't like this large number of housewives (10,729,470) who knows what they do when their husbands are at work :D this can also increase countries profit if more of them return we will be able to build more corps

| Friday, July 12, 2013 - 09:26 am Thanks. we will look into it.
| |
| Friday, July 12, 2013 - 11:35 am Hmm, why not lift the max completely? It would spur further economic growth

| Friday, July 12, 2013 - 06:35 pm I agree with Darcus. It'd also be nice to remove the limit of rehabilitating only up to 50% of all disabled workers. It'd be a good incentive to work with CEO's to make the only limit 40% of workers in CEO controlled corps.

| Saturday, July 13, 2013 - 10:53 pm Andy, maybe I miss something, but when I look at my health costs graph in Unimatrix 01 then I see that while some hospitals closed the 'Cost of the Health System' increased. I has increased from 33.4B to 36.3B in 18 months, so instead of lowering costs I see only massive rising costs
| |
| Wednesday, July 17, 2013 - 08:45 am Constant number ob hospitals, costs now 36,9B

| Thursday, July 18, 2013 - 06:08 pm Please return nationalization of private corps or add option to kick corps from country. Some guys put corps in my countries and set salaries index lower than 50. I send them few message (to increase salaries or remove corps) but then didn't replay (i even open topic on LU forum). So please add us option to fight against corps that are set up to harm countries economy. Also i dont have anything against CEO-s or their corps and nothing against this protection, but countries owner should be able to nationalize or kick corporation that have bad indexes. PS. I will protest in front of Security Council building, until my demand are not fulfilled XD

| Thursday, July 18, 2013 - 07:53 pm Darcus, I will join your protest :P
| |
| Thursday, July 18, 2013 - 11:41 pm Nationalization was not removed. if you have a problem, please let us know. It is unrealistic to have all housewives work in corporations. The limit is arbitrary. if we raise it, the economic balance will shift and something else will have to give. As it is now, it is a little complex to increase your work force in this way but if you do, you are rewarded. There are many such functions and tradeoffs you have to make.

| Friday, July 19, 2013 - 07:47 am If you are unsatisfied with its performance, you can nationalize it when you reach Game Level 1. I am Game level 7 and i want to nationalize one corporation since owner put 30 salaries index and he don't replay on my messages. here is image of one private corporation: http://s15.postimg.org/53ssl72vf/CORPS.png I get this message for ALL private corporation only last part when you reach Game Level "X" is changed. X is changed based on corp game level required to build. Other players Please also check do you get this message when you open private corporation in your country. Ty

| Friday, July 19, 2013 - 08:27 am I don't understand when Andy says nationalization was not removed. I am in game level 4 and it still shows this message If you are unsatisfied with its performance, you can nationalize it when you reach Game Level 4 There is no option anywhere to nationalize. And it is expected that a game level 4 player should be able to nationalize a game level 1 corp. Or is it not so?

| Friday, July 19, 2013 - 01:28 pm I also have the nationalization Problem

| Saturday, July 20, 2013 - 06:34 am What is the maximum quality output for the Corporations, does anyone know? I have adjusted it to 220 quality to see if the quality increases.

| Saturday, July 20, 2013 - 09:12 am waiting for over an hour for land forces to reload going out lol
| |
| Saturday, July 20, 2013 - 03:08 pm If I recall correctly, the maximum quality output is 370. But don't bother going there.
| |
| Sunday, July 21, 2013 - 07:00 am I have another question to the quality on the Country resources. The standard is 120 quality, what happens if I increae the quality to above 150-200 quality in things like schools and hospitals, does that mean the health and education will improve better condition?
| |
| Sunday, July 21, 2013 - 11:29 pm no, it will only affect the welfare index
| |
| Monday, July 22, 2013 - 12:33 pm Ok, thank you. That's all.
