Military Units
Some military units increased in size. This is the second such change in the past weeks and it is aimed at a reduction in the number of military units in an effort to make it easier to manage the army.
The changes are limited to the land divisions and air force units. The size of the units increased by about 10%.
Such changes have consequences for purchasing of weapons and ammunitions and should be small.
We plan to introduce some more increases in the size of units and extend such changes to more types of units.
The cost of the Army
The cost of weapons and ammunition is reduced again. Changes are not significant but are adding to recent ones. The main changes are in defensive weapons and defensive ammunition but also other weapons are affected.
These changes are the result of players requests to reduce the cost of the defense.
Population Birth Rates
We had a long period of corrections to the population distribution among age groups in the past months. These changes are completed. We are now looking at the birth rates and are making small corrections to prevent “overheating” and wild growth.
The corrected population model will support population growth at higher levels than before. Currently, growth continues at very high levels and it will be tempered a bit.
We expect population levels to stabilize at about 100M. (a year ago the level was about 60M). Population will increase under that level and may stabilize, or decline at higher levels. Experience will show if this is correct. We cannot predict and will have to wait and see.
Birth percentages in Simcountry, depend on the number of children in the 0-4 year old group. Percentages decline as the numbers in that group increase.
Birth numbers however, depend on the number of people in the age groups between 18-21 and 35-40 years old.
Corporations
Shortages of high level workers are now smaller than before and this upgrade includes an addition small correction. We also continue to diversify the raw materials needed in production.
Corporations that are managed reasonably, are very profitable. Corporations that produce weapons and materials have profits levels comparable to other corporations and they achieve this With a much smaller number of workers. |
i am happy some reading this.
