@KyP, smokes has been around for a long time, and is very familiar with the military. he's on the short list of sim-gods, when it comes to player strength. in fact, in spite of how quiet he is, he is one of the game's best
smokes, i'm not sure, i've seen some age related worker issues on LU, and i've noticed a weird increase of labor demand in my more stable countries.
it was like a bunch of my workers retired, or died, while my labor force, both enployed, and unemployed remained ruffly the same. although i wasn't really looking at the actual labor pools, as much as i've been tweaking my health indexes.
further, it seems that even though my available work forces are improving, it doesn't really seem like my work force is able to do more. personally, i think its just a hiccup, and everything will return to normal.
