Your education index has reached the maximum value in the current financial situation. You cannot construct more elementary schools at the moment.

I had no idea there was a limit to the education index. Interesting.. are there more limits like this?

i was so expecting this to be A CYC post but as to my surprise

are you trying to break the game too

How high is the index right now?

Hhahahahahaa Nope sorry No CYC stuf today!

I was interested in how a few mechanics would work if they were pushed to the max.

The country is named : A FB Little Letsie Land on FB
Pop: 16.7 million
Education index when I got that message was only 303
I had a positive income of 1.9B at that moment.

Since then the number of schools has been declining despite having the workers. Not by much but just enough to keep the index under the 300. I've turned of all the automated functions to see if the game was 'protecting' me.
It is interesting to see what happens when you start pushing some things.

Letsie,

According to the documentation. The game limits Education, Health, and Transportation Indexes to 250, unless your Financial Index is very high. This is to prevent players from bankrupting otherwise successful countries, by pushing their indexes into the hundreds or thousands.

Basically, you'll struggle to maintain any index above 250, unless you make heaps of consistent profit.

Letsie, it seems most of the indexes cap at 300, with the notable exception being Transportation, which I have gotten up to 500 before.

All of my indexes are basically at their max. However, I wonder if by increasing financial index you can go past 300 at a certain point

@Daniel.
When I started this experiment I knew that the documentation was wrong. I've bought a c3 country with higher education index then 250. The automated systems seem to cap it at 300 and on the amount of profit that you make.
But when I turn them off I can go above the 300. They system is no longer destroying my schools and it is already rising above 300.

I am going to run a state salary of 1500 and corp salaries of 3000 just to see what will happen.

@CYC
You've got to go bare without the protection man. 300 is not the cap....


@everybody
Want to hear something interesting. In just a bit under 4 days my pop went from 16.7 million to 18.8million (this is without beginner boosts and a LOT faster then regular growth). This is the main reason why I am trying this out. I am testing if these settings might be a way to boost a countries pop really fast and the fist signs are promising. The grow

My pop growth has been increasing also in all my countries without any change in settings. This is happening despite my death rate being higher than birth rate. Not sure what is going oN but it started a few days ago.

John Galt,

I've also noticed some increases lately. Although only in the +50 age brackets. I assumed it was a side effect of my occasional worker trades. But if other people are experiencing it too?

Not me, population is still dropping below 120M

@John,

I have to agree with you. When I took a better look i noticed that all of my countries have seen their pop increase. Even countries that normally had almost 0 growth. My main Lets a with 130million pop has also been increasing. Sure it is only 10K but it is a huge difference from dropping 30ish K per game month.

The population in Little Letsie Land on fb is increasing at a very impressive rate.
The pop is now almost 22 Million. I am very impressed with the pop growth with these absurd settings. Money wise and military wise, they are absolutely horrible, but if somebody wants their pop to grow these settings apear to be very good.

The population in countries with 20 to 30 millions, is increasing fast.
in fact, the birth rate is very high and you see the population in the 0-4 years old increasing fast.
then it spreads into the older groups.
in time they will move on to workers, and child bearing age groups.

The top population level is undefined.
it depends on the population spread across age groups in the country and the health and welfare indexes.

Small changes up and down can take place because of specific situations, connected to age groups.

If you have very few older people, death rates might be very low.
and the other way round too.

The population model should show the group of 0-4 slightly larger than the 4-8 group due to some death cases.
8-12 slightly lower etc.

the 12-15 group is smaller (3 years and not 4 as with 8-12) but it should be a bit smaller than 75% of the 8-12 group.

I hope this
