  • I wouldn't close schools unless you are in VERY bad shape. There should be something else you can get rid of.

    • Social security.

      and yes, don't close schools, and ESP. UNIVERSITIES.
      don't decrease by 5 percent. I usually use between no decrease to VERY RARELY 10. 5 is already quite a lot.


      on a general note, it's great to see a person from the Econo. threads here.

        My education level is at 90 now, I think that's acceptable considering my working population is overly skilled. No need to rush ahead in education if your finances aren't up to it. (IMHO)

        I'll decrease it by 1% a month then.

          Try using effectivity upgrades in your corporations to use more skilled people, freeing up low level for something else.

          If your social security payments are high, lower than 2%/month.

            • colon, nothing is set in stone, though. Personally, when I have two months of production worth product in the stores, I just "Best Price" them away.

                • Colon, you should raise taxes on your companies too.
                  See if you can start more companies (like services) with the people you have spare, and also start upgrading effectivity (to get more people free) and quality (to sell your products for more money).

                  • Never sell anything at best price. I set all my items to sell at their quality markup, but to be safe I drop the price by 10% each month it won't sell - it has been working fabulously.

                      Already raised taxes a couple of times. It's standing at 45% now, but I'm a bit reluctant to raise it any further because I want my corps to be financially strong as well. (that's why I don't have any additional taxes on state profits)

                      Besides, how high can you set the taxe rate untill the private companies flee? (which would sort of kill the goose that lays the golden eggs)

                      • Malleus & Azazel, trade rules you explained to me seem to be working well since I've sold most of my stuff so far. (the only company with inventory left is that electric corp unfortunately)

                        • This is key: The market fluctuates wildly. Don't panic if you hit a run of bad months. Just try and keep the corps open until the good times come back

                                Private companies are there for the duration. If you raise taxes too much though they won't be able to pay for their materials and staff, and will get higher and higher into debt.

                                High taxes in the short term won't kill them, but it depends on how much debt they are in in the first place.
