Why do you have to play the president and enterprise

in order to climb the game levels?

why can't you just play being the president or the enterprise (CEO)?

please shine some lights on this

thank you

i'm playing a president, and i will not go to the next level if i don't have an enterprise that owns a certain number of corporations?

or if i'm playing the ceo of an enterprise, i will not reach the next game level if i don't own "x" number of countries?

well, looks like i can't reach game level 5 because i don't have an enterprise that has at least 50 corps

thought the game docs said i could play as a president of a country or a ceo of an enterprise?

this is tricky.

you should be able reach higher levels even if you just have one country or one enterprise. if you have more than one country in an empire or more than one enterprise as a ceo, then the criteria for your game level should be the the average of the countries or the average of the enterprises.

i was expecting to keep climbing, but now these roadblocks that were not in the game docs !!!

Well, the game probably stays interesting for longer periods of time if players are using both countries and enterprises. That could be one motivation in forcing us to do both.

i be happy to build 50 corps in my country, but not an enterprise that owned 50 corps.

at the beginning, the game docs said you could play a president or a ceo. why is it once your start playing, then the game requires you to play both?

again, i love the challenge of balancing resources in this game. either ceo or president, you have to know how to balance the resources. why do you need to do both?

here's a thought, when you pay, you get the gc for a ceo, also, by gaining levels, you can compete for monthly awards, or another way to look at it, earn the GC for the CEO you need to compete.

@josias,
i want both of my feet on one ladder, not one each ladder.

the game needs to stick to what it advertised?
i'm sure the ceo version is awesome, but it should not be forced onto players. players should choose to play one or both at their own pace.

Xon, i don't really think i'm the person to answer that question.

although, i'll say that i both agree and disagree. over all, i'm happy with the current system. with the removal of the GC market, it makes having empires on multipul worlds expensive. and is meant to downsize large accounts.

i believe that downsizing in SC, and in interest of not rambling off the subject, i'll stop here.

i just want to play one version or the other

until i feel comfortable that i have master one version before i go to the other version.

forcing me to play both version in order to climb game level or receive rewards, is just like "bait and switch" because the docs said you can play as a president, as a ceo, or both.

I have the fifty corps, i'm just bringing my indexes back up and then i'll be game level 5 and have a nice 70 GC. If you have thirty GC get an enterprise and work towards the fifty corps before a month is up.

@john,
i do have the gc to start an enterprise, but i only wanted to play the president version for now. until i have master the president version, being the #1 in the world, then i would play the ceo version.

i rather spend my gc for the president version, and the game docs said you could just play one version but this trick is just bad marketing for the game.

President number one and then try enterprise? you realize that once your number one and accept the award you drop right? And it changes constantly.

@john,
i'm aware of that, went from over rank 100 when i became premium to rank 7, then now back to rank 8.

yet i still feel there are way much more to know/learn being a president.

then chill at level 4 until you got it all down, stop complaining about everything and just deal with it. I've had my current country for about two weeks now, i'm WG rank 16, War level 0, Game level 5 and going for six. Sit down, Calm down, and play the game. Don't want an enterprise yet then stay at level 4 and get your country stable and build up population. Here's a tip have 30 million people for level 6 and then once you have that make sure the indexes are suited for that population amount, then get your economy stable for that amount of people and then get an enterprise and work your way to a hundred to get game level 6. You can build 10 corps a month and purchase as many as you can afford and use gc for money for your enterprise so it don't go into debt because your building and buying fast when just starting it.

@john,
much thanks for your help

let me know how to get at least 100M population, but not using GC to get these people from GM?

Good index's, a good economy, and open jobs.

now i'm rank 13 on WG, see ranks fluctuate constantly.

down to 41 and back to 26

population natural growth just too darn slow, or my planet needs to turn faster

I'm rank 7 on Wg
