We answer all mails. Certainly mails that claim a bug in the game.

In most cases, when we receive a complaint on the purchase of population, the reason is that someone else paid more and you just did not get the population.

It means that no gold coins have been taken from your account. You have to try again.

We do not believe that it is possible to pay for population and not receive it. It may take several hours or a day but if you offer the highest price, you get it.

We have now added a message. If your offer was rejected, you will receive (starting next week) a message, explaining that someone else did get in the way with a higher offer.

Hi All,

Sorry to rehash this again, but I buy population from the Gamemaster and I am not receiving the full 1,000,000 I have brought. Refer to Peoples Republic of Siam and everyone will notice the total unemployed does not even equal a million. I supposedly just received my purchase but it appears to me I only received around 400,000-500,000.

Is there any reason for this, for example do we receive all the population in one hit or do we get bits and pieces over several days?

Kind Regards
Ahmose

September 2569 population was ~7,000,000
October 2569 population was ~8,000,000

December 2569 population was ~8,000,000
January 2570 population was ~9,000,000


Siam also added 11 corporations and there are several corporations that are not fully employed.

When you buy workers they have the same demographics as the current population. Employment is usually limited by one worker category. For example, if you only have 50% of the executives then that corporation will only high at 50% capacity. When you add 12.5% to the total population the same corporation would increase employment to 56.25% of capacity. The overall unemployment rate should not have changed very much.

If all of your companies and private companies have 100% full employment then the unemployment rate will go up when you upgrade.

Thanks for your response Pathetic Sheep.

Sorry, but I don't understand why my unemployment would not increase by 1,000,000 when I buy a million pop??

Some of them go straight to work in your corporations, therefore they are not unemployed.

You got 1 000 000 of Population. You did not buy 1 000 000 of Workers. Around 50% of your population is active (ready for work).
