It took me much longer than I expected

I'll get back to Panama soon. I played Israel last night. I was refreshing to be attacked on the 2nd or 3rd day of game play. I just wanted to fight something.

I've had a look over the text, added a few points of my own and corrected a few spelling mistakes. I'm still in the middle of that game so I might add my own findings as I go along.

Good work.

cool

and I'm glad you liked it NOT that I am responsiable for the walkthrough just editing. I just want to make it clear TEX I'm not claiming credit for it!

Indeed.

Congrats to TexasDevilDog for writing it and allowing me an insight to how the ******* economy can work...

and you ozmono2005 for getting it into the wiki in a reasonable format.

Now it's in the wiki, we can have a feeling that we have all contributed in some way to helping ourselves by helping write it, and helping others by giving them something they can use as a guide...

I wasn't selling myself short...I'm just modest.

In fact, that's the best thing about me, my modesty.

I noticed while playing Israel the other night that if I had supply map overlay turned on, I could see my units consuming supply in hexes. I noticed this because I had several helicopter units flying around delivering supply when units would stall out. The hexs would loose color as my unit flew across the map.

I am wondering if too many units will over load the supply replenishment of the hexs. I will run some experiment on this. This will change some understanding the supply model.

Learned last night that increasing industry efficiency lowers inflation and increases unemployment, as it would IRL.

Which manner of efficiency increase were you playing with when you noticed the inflation and unemployment change? That is, the efficiency spending directly to an industry, increasing infrastructure, or scrapping poorly supplied factories?

Also, what amount of increase, and how long before you saw the results?

Thanks.

Does it?? I did try that (before you posted this) but didn't see any effect, although I didn't increase the investment by much and possibly didn't have it going long enough to notice an effect. I shall try it again.

The way I checked it is as follows, take a save game, change all the sliders to minimum investment and run for 10 days. Check production cost, unemployment and inflation. Then reload the game, change all the sliders to maximum investment and run for 10 days. Check the same.

What exactly is "mark up" and its effect? I thought it was a way to sell your product always "cost + x% of cost" but the (excellent) Panama post seems to consider it as a tax on domestic consumption.

it has the same effect as a tax but its really just a price increase
