I would like to know what happens after you buy population with gold coins.

What do they become? Workers? Managers? HT? What age? Do you have to educate them?

Thank you in advance. I would like to know if buying population that way will get me workers for my corporations.

They'll come in the same proportion of workers as you already have in your country. I think there's some difference between buying from GM and another player, cant remember.

I heard that if I buy too much, the population will rebell.

At what stage will they rebel? What are the damages?

Can I like double the population in three days?

When you bid, do you give the coins strait away, or do you give ONLY if you win the bid?

If you double your pop then you're going to need twice the hosptals schools roads etc. So until you build them your welfare will plummet. Could possibly result in riots but I would doubt it, things have to be pretty bad for that. My thoughts are buying too much pop at one go will give you age group problems later on in the game, but it's all managable I suppose.

You must win the bid before any coins change hands. Please be sure you have enough coins as it really is annoying to people to sell their pop only to find you cant afford it, where someone else could have bought them, and the pop has to be re-offered.
