W3C - Quality of products

in the real world their is allot of uncertainty. if the world worked like sim country, the current economic problems would be solved by increasing salaries, and building a few more corporations...

maybe having a better idea of how much the supply index will help the welfare index would be cool. but knowing everything exactly, does kinda turn running a country to min/max game.

ignorance is not a valid substitute for uncertainty.

Stop making irrelevant correlations between the real world and these simulated worlds.

This makes your comparison to the real world or realism relevant to nothing in simcountry

Knowing how the index is computed is hardly turning this into a minimum/maximum. That is a statement made in ignorance or in stinginess of the value of the present amount of knowledge you have acquired thus far.

Granted, much of the game knowledge I know i have not gleaned from any source gamemaster has supplied. Almost 200% of my success I can attribute to BlueSeprpent and a few simple settings he had suggested one day while complaining about one of my CEO'

The logical reason is to keep it as a game where experience, gained through reading forums, docs etc, and trial and error leads to success. Basically as Blue and Wild have done. Misunderstanding or lack or willingness to find out info should not be mistaken as confusion. I am wholy against dumbing down the game.

Okay CC.

At what point does game experience come into play when this index has been affected several times due to updates.

Population sale/addition

Salaries

And now(although I have missed some factors **because I don't know them all**KEYNOTE)

An entirely new proposed index that affects an existing one in a way you can never comprehend. Unless you can quantify the word - Important

It takes time to go through forums. Especially when you have no idea what information is trustworthy.

I can take advice from Laguna, or i can go with SuperSoldier, or even Matthew Patton(WoW) who

doesn't even use capital letters
or punctuation
to clue in
where a thought begins or ends
or even post where the subject is relevant
to his posts for that matter

--------------------

Your reasons again are not logical, they are personal

A shorter version of this post and following CC's logic is this is all tantamount to the blind leading the blind without the formulas.

We need to understand why we are doing whatever we do in the game in order to enjoy and possibly excel at it. The difference between long term players and short is the vast gap of game knowledge. Hands down. I am positive that the statistics would back that claim up %100

Okay, so if I buy food, medicine etc. at higher quality levels, I will see my populations grow faster and see them produce more in the corps?

Because after discovering my population (164.378.438) began shrinking fast, births decreasing and deaths increasing, I tried cut the Back to work schools by 50% (from 10 to 5) and now hope some housewives will do better with more time at home, more time to both make the kids and raise the kids? I just did that adjustment today 15 minutes ago, so ill wait and see now.

My health index is on 130, social security is on 80%, so there is not much left to adjust here I think.

Please tell me if I am totally wrong here ??

What is the average age of your citizens?

I think that you're on the wrong path. A few things to check:

- you're average age
- number of retired people

You're health index is rather high. Higher developed health care means that people live longer. But even those people will at some point die. You've probably got a lot of people dying of old age right now and low birth rates. It sucks but is nothing unusual.

Try keeping you're life expectancy a little bit lower. Retired people are a waste of money and resources anyway.

As for an answer on your first question. Higher welfare means higher spending and higher production. there are many ways to raise the welfare level.
Buying more expansive supllies is not the most effecient way.

This is crazy...

Try searching the forums, I know it's kind of tough. I believe there are a couple of threads on average age and I believe Aries has one on supply quality for optimal welfare.

Heck of a thread necro job there. Reviving a 5-year old thread.

Some general threads on running your country and population growth can be found in these places:

As for what quality to buy products at, it has no effect on population growth nor does back-to-work schools.

Thanks guys for guiding me back on the road again!


Some data:

Average Age is 34.62
Life Expectancy is 65.12
Expected Number of Births is 60,683
Expected Number of Deaths is 2,674,454

Health care index is 130

Sorry to say this but you're going to have to endure it. You've simply got to many old people.

Is anyone else a little sad that this game considers 34 old? Sigh...

I'm aghast at the Life Expectancy. I'm living on borrowed time it seems....
