1. Ordering Supplies for Corporations

It is now possible to set order quantities for all corporations and to set "low water" levels, or the product level that will trigger an automatic order for supplies.
This feature was voted for and was promised some time ago. It is now added to Simcountry.

Countries and enterprises can also set default order and low water values for new corporations in the same way they set default values for production levels, quality of materials etc.

2. Professional Army

It is now possible to decide if you want professional soldiers and officers to serve in mobile units only, or for these soldiers and officers to serve in all other units too.
Until now, professionals were allocated to mobile units first and if more were available, they were allocated to the regular forces. By doing so, they replaced other soldiers and officers who then went back to the labor market.
The disadvantage of the feature was that some of them would die in any war while not serving in mobile units.

With the new feature, you can decide how to use these professional soldiers and officers and can use them as before or in mobile units only.

If serving in mobile units only, remaining unused professionals will be sitting on their hands until they are needed for service in mobile units.

Also this feature was requested by players and we have promised to add it to the game.

3. More changes in Corporations

More corporations became slightly larger and employ more workers but on the other hand, some upgraded corporations see a larger advantage of these efficiency upgrades and a reduction in the number of employees and in the cost of labor.

All these changes are small and will continue at a slow pace. They will have an increasing impact on the corporations game in the long run.

So with the default settings appearing to be low water mark 0 and order quantity 0, what will happen if we do not input a setting here? Will corporations continue to order as they do now or will they actually cease ordering until we enter a setting here?

I like this change, but if corps will now not place orders until this setting is updated it could potentially cause some issues for newer players and ones that don't read the forums.

Thumbs up for #1.

But Andy, I'm still missing the Welfare-Subsection on the Docs, is it still lost or could you point me to where it has been moved to?

CEO's can withdraw cash from their corporations when will this be added to state corporations for countries as well?

Private corporations are private and can do with cash whatever they want.

state and public corporations should not.
they can do a lot by setting tax percentages etc.
