Econ Players (Little Upsilon)

thanx serpent, ima work on it. but do u know if that i have alot more uni's(higher index then hs and elem) that it will help convert all the low lvl workers or am i just stuck with all of them?

In the long run, a good education index (200 seems like a good number; remember that education index is equal to the lowest of your elementary/HS/university indexes) and appropriate education priorities will solve most worker problems....

But, sometimes if you end up with a lot of low level workers (or if you are impatient :P ), it's best to invade some C3s and trade your LLW out for other kinds of workers/professionals.

I'd say 150, at 200 you can't keep HLWs. Period, you'll actually go into negative increase there.

I've got a country with a 211 Education Index. It stinks sometimes, but I don't want to close anything.

After a point, the most sensible solution concerning unemployed LLWs is to build corps which require high levels of them.

To provide jobs for LLWs, I keep 25 cement corps in one country. They produce cute profits too.

Cute profits?

I didn't know you could pay for cement with kittens.

@WD
You might be right about the 150 education index thing. I've had minor HLW issues for a while. Recently I've been experimenting with lower priorities, but a lower index probably makes more sense.

Thanx guys, for the info, i appreciate it. So how about i try ~180(index) of unis, ~175 of HS, and ~145 of elem, if my index is going to be the lowest of the 3. Ya think this will work?

Hey Vicious, Wat up, howz errthang goin. I see u sitN at #1, pretty koo, good 4 u. But watch out cuz im goin for #1 and im pretty close;p

Hey, Don Caballero. My country wants to keep its #1 rank for this month, then you can get that rank next month. But I'll also try to keep its #1 rank in finance for as long as possible.

Hypothetically, I increase country population by 50%. No increase to military cost. Income increases proportionally (it would actually be more than this). Non-Military increases proportionally.

Monthly Non-Military Cost:

This leads me to assume that a 45M population country supporting 408 DFI and 84 OFI can easily support an 15

1. Building the defense forces and fighting wars [ top ]

War is part of life in the real world and it is part of the game for anyone who wants it.

Many of the participants in the game may not be interested in fighting wars and they are welcome to play a peaceful game. Their country can remain in secured mode and will never be attacked.

Anyone who wants to play the full game, will find out that as in the real world, if a small number of countries are conducting themselves aggressively and plan to conquer others, they will find themselves building up defense forces to preve

Good point, Orbiter.

@Camulos: I feel that I definitely am right on the HLWs, unfortunately. Nothing more fun than direct observation sometimes.
