Econ Thread (Fearless Blue)

You are spending too much.
Military maybe?
Have you set country purchases to buy at 100Q?

I havn't spent on militry since my last attempt to take a c3 ended in dismil failure!!!! I decided to get the econ side of the game down. When u say country purchases do u mean for company supplies? That is at 180Q. Too much?

No, I mean requested product quality for your country orders. Dont leave at 'any', choose manual and set 100. Any higher is unnecessary (except military, but dont worry about them as you say. If you allow 'any' you will be spending probably twice what you need for your countrys supplys. Its the first box on the page where you can enter a value.

Thanks for the information.

I have salaries set at 600/corp and 300 /gov't is this too high?

you want govt at about 75% of average corp salary.
Set corps to 400, 600 is probably a bit much for most corp types, some are ok that high but generally I find that too high, you dont make enough more product to justify the extra cost of salary.

I have 3 corp that have products that are not in heavy demand. Are closing those in favor of increasing employment to 100% in companies w/product in high demand a good econmic idea?

One word - Yes.

OK, more words...;)
100% employment is most important.
1 100% corp is worth more to you than 2 50% ers.

There may be times when you are doing well and know the workings when you reduce hiring temporarily, say to make sure CEO corps have enough, but for now, 100% first!

this might be a little counter productive but how do i tank a corp? accidently left auto build corps on

Each individual corporation's page has a link fairly near the top that says "close corporation".

Ok, I am new and trying to figure this game out.
Now I am running out of money, and fast. I logged in today to find that I was 1.41T in debt. I figure its because the automation purchased about that much in weapons each year.
I thought I turned it off, but it seems to still be active.
How do I run my country and build my military up to obtain lvl 2 defenses with out wiping out my economy??

One thing to remember, for getting levels requirements for military buy missile interceptor batteries. They give you the most points for the least money. Dont worry about ammo, it doesnt give points.

Most people would say set your level requirements for 'peaceful mode' where military doesnt matter, at least for the first few levels.

If you have loads of military over, then sell it as soon as you can, on the world market.

The single biggest mistake that is made by new players is to try and build an army straight away, it will destroy your economy. Get making some decent money first, war is uber expensive.
