Gwonam Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) My NS is 6400 - Shouldn't I be making more than 80k in profits a day?? Even if I tinified my military I'd only make 100k. My gross income is respectable, I think...I'm collecting 440k a day. But then my bills are 357k! Improvements (13) + Infra (1900) is 336k, so it's not my military doing it. Nation Stats: 50 tech (finishing last tech deal) 1900 infra $172 upkeep per infra 13 Improvements: 5 Factories, 5 Banks, a Harbor, a Foreign Ministry, and a Stadium. 13143 Citizens $119.83 Avg. Citizen Income $33.55 Taxes per Citizen Edit: Also, my trades are 5BR with Steel, Beer, Construction, Asphalt, and Automobiles. My theories: 1. It's because I only have 50 tech (to finish up my last tech deal). 2. I bought Factories then Banks instead of Banks then Stadiums. If I'd done the latter, maybe I'd make more money even though I'd have less infra. 3. The Global Radiation Level is making me have less citizens than I should, so my nation is really in great shape but the GRL is killing me. 4. My trades are for cheap infra instead of income. Nation Link: Gwonamaland Anyone else have any guesses?? Edited May 25, 2009 by Gwonam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirreille Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 GRL + importing all three dirty resources is hurting your economy, yes. Not having tech is hurting your environment as well as your economy. You are way below the maximum discount to infra maintenance that tech can give(rule of thumb = the maximum is 5% of your NS in tech), plus you could get an environment bost at 80 tech IIRC. There is another boost to environment from tech but I forget where it is at, maybe 200. You should probably have gone back and forth with banks and stadiums, instead of all banks first. The banks modify your income, and your income is low because you have few happiness + income generating resources and improvements. When you get a couple more stadiums you should see a nice improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwonam Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Okay, so I need to get more tech and get some stadiums. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choader Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Okay, so I need to get more tech and get some stadiums. Thanks! Tech is great and you should accumulate as much as you can as quickly as you can. But, at your size you can't reasonably afford to start buying your own tech and the happiness and environment benefits are small change compared to the income from tech dealing. Keep selling tech to supplement your income at least until you are over 3,000 infrastructure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
