Noobie needs advice

Hi all I have been playing for a week or so and because I don't really know what im doing most things are on Auto. I have 2 nations Republic of Terran and my colony Terran Britannia. they both have about 30 corps. this is on White Giant.

Pord & Hire: iv put that on Automatic, What is a good strategy for this if I go manual and is that better than going on auto settings?

Profit Transfer vs Tax: how should I set these is 30% tax to much and should I let my corps keep more my dilemma hear is that I will run into financial problems if I lower the tax and allow my corps to keep more?

My indexes are looking good on both nations and employment is good one of the worries I have though is that there seems to be a massive undersupply of goods and services that corporations need.

Army I have deactivate my attacking forces and left defensive ones active the game wants me to buy between 6 and 10000 interceptors of which I have 5k I want to balance it with my economy though so what should I be doing hear.

Hi,

you need to decide what type of game you want to play, chose the role. I would recommend to start from selling all weapons and keep all indexes around 140 to have good welfare which means good production. build only industrial corporations which are always shortage on market, set taxes to maximum. Always work with education priorities to see what people you need to train to have better hiring.

If you are not quite good with war, leave it for some time it can hurt you if not done right. When you generate some 4-5T of cash, build some offensive army to take few C3 countries around. Forum is full of advises how to do that right.

Automatic for hiring works fairly well. If you set fixed levels you'll have to watch the market situation and adjust.

If you want to attract CEO's taxes have to be less than 30. Profit transfer is up to you. Do you receive it monthly or in lump sums when the corp has too much cash.

You can set up contracts for the products that are in short supply. If you see a corp with a shortage you can immediate order or transfer from the country reserve a few month supply to keep the production up.

You are safe from attack until you reach War level 3. You can deactivate all your military. If the quality of the arms is low, you should consider selling it and buy high quality when you decide to expand.
