W3C - Game update July 15, 2025

Transportation

The transportation page is now upgraded and organized with tabs, similar to many other pages.

Nice. Thanks!

Thank You Andy!

Andy,

General question,
When will countries with larger population be able to convert the professions of more then "400,000" workers?

The current number is really restrictive for larger nations, despite my best efforts to manage the workers its been difficult LOL

Andy,

I agree with SuperSoldierRCP, for experienced players with countries over 200 million population, the 400,000 monthly worker conversion limit is far too low. While it's reasonable enough for beginners with populations in the low tens of millions, it prevents large nations from correcting worker shortages.

A monthly limit of at least 2 million would be far more reasonable (and may even be too low) for such countries, as it would still be less than 1% of their total population.

It is indeed an old problem and there were many requests.

I will have it done ASAP.

I assume we need to increase the number of countries with a population of more than 200 Million.
maybe even 100 million.


Agree?

I think 100M is a good threshold. In my mind, thats when a country becomes "big" in this game.

Andy,

Two ideas:

--- First Idea ---

I do like the suggestion you suggested.

Once a country hits 100 million population the "Change workers professions" should be increased by 350,000 per month (this would give countries a 650,000 total exchange rate monthly)

Once a country hits 200 million population the "Change workers professions" and "Exchange with other countries" should be increased by another 350,000 per month (this would give countries a 1,000,000 total exchange rate monthly)

As I have many counties at 100 million or 480 million population.
Realistically I would need to be able to do 500,000 to 1,000,000 in monthly worker conversations just to keep up with basic changes.

---Second Idea---

Is it possible that instead of a hard number (300,000 worker exchanges per month) would it be possible for to code a percentage per month?

Maybe the game allows players to convert 0.005% or 1% of the population per month?

This would allow all nations of any size to convert pop at reasonable levels based on size?

we will increase the numbers for countries with a population >100 Million.
<200 million. Then increase again if the population is larger than 200 million.

The intenden limits are
< 100 million 300.000
> 100 million and < 200 Million 500.000
> 200 million 700.000

My country Pat 108 has population of 191M
You can change the profession of 300,000 workers each month. This month you have already changed the profession of 0 workers.
Why not 500,000 workers

Same problem as Jeff max transferable 300,000 all countries on Fearless Blue. I just thought Fearless Blue was not included in the change. Let us know whats going on when you have the time.

I published the planned numbers.
The update is not yet part of the game.

In the mean time it is done.
we now need to upgrade.

The upgrade will take place either Monday morning (early EST)
or Tuesday.

Your suggestion is probably even better but we have to keep it simple.
It is too difficult as is.

just clear numbers related to clear and round numbers of population.

Don't take people from your countries trade people. If you want more people buy people with gold coins. Which you have to do to go up game level. If your country is low and you want to build more companies trade professionals. If you need more workers convert teachers or nurses to workers

Someone has to be willing to trade professionals with you. If no one is than you'll need a higher education index to educate those professionals, or trade between your countries. 600,000 is a good number to trade professionals between your own countries.

What the update will allow basically. If you invest in a higher education index, and your workforce becomes "too educated". You can now simply turn more of those professionals into workers.

For smaller countries 300,000 per game month is sufficient.

For larger countries it can feel like a never ending chore to constantly be changing profession each game month to keep employment over 90 without shortages. I have 8 countries over 500 million population. I spend a lot of time constantly trading professionals between them and changing professionals into workers. This update will help players with large empires manage their workforce effectively.

Keeping the education priorities at 120 is in my opinion a better idea long term so that you have more surplus professionals to change into the workers you need and transfer between your own countries. Lowering the education priorities can somewhat negate the effect of a "too educated" workforce, but then you'll be wasting money on the infrastructure and employment for your education.

This update is great news.

The upgrade will take place in the coming weekend.

The person involved in doing it, needs to do the upgrade and then remain here in the next days to make sure there is no problem.

Andy,

Makes sense, thank you all so much for the coming update.
I AM SOOOO EXCITED

I have countries with 100mil and 500mil and trying to balance numbers is nearly impossible, this update will be a huge help!

Yes needed and much appreciate it.
Thank You and your Staff
Rob

I am sorry.
It was delayed by several days.
It was very busy here.
