Jack Shepard Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Is the literacy rate bonus from Schools and Universities turned off? My nation, with 3 schools and 2 unis, has a 20% literacy rate. Any nation with no schools, no unis and no tech, has 20% literacy rate. Schools are meant to increase literacy rate by 1%, and unis by 3%, which should put me at a bare minimum, of 29% Not that it has any impact until you get to 90% for Scholars (I think anyway), but just thought I'd mention it. (While we are here, any thoughts on a literacy rate overhaul to make it useful?... IMO schools and Unis should be the main component of what increases a literacy rate, not tech, I mean if you dump a billion dollars worth of computers in a 3rd world country its not going to increase the literacy rate... but slap down a couple of schools and unis and you will... IMO (since nations start at 20% literacy), schools should increase literacy by 8%, and unis by 15%, and amount of tech the final 10%... This would give people an option to get the scholars bonus resource by choosing Schools and Unis over Banks/Factories/Stadiums... shake up the 'by the book' improvement order slightly)...

Count Rupert Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Well, the formula that calculates your nation's literacy rate is capped so you cannot have a literacy rate score less than 20%. Even with the 3 schools and 2 universities because you only have 24.5 levels of tech your literacy rate when calculated is still below the cap at 20% so it shows as 20%.
