No matter what i do i can't seem to make any money...I've tried lowering taxes and hiking up Domestic prices. Highering taxes but all that does is make my daily expenses higher and I'm still in the red. Ive conquered my neighbors and have got plenty of land and resources but can't seem to make doe. My production is about 9,000 M daily...How do i lower production cost...to make cheddar.? Playing Germany so I'm self sufficient in everything by now. I've tried lowering sales tax all the way so that maybe they'll buy more products? . i have 58 Land fabrications and they're all making tanks now so this turn i scraped a few...Good idea? the highest items on my expense reports are Social and Production. is that production military...or goods? Any ideas how to lower? PLEASE HELP. I've lowered my debt...not all the way...Intrest rates are now at about 3.5%

How much are you spending on research? How many fabrication facilities do you have online?

Better yet send me a save game. So I can actually look at what you have.

Spending 906M daily on research and about 57 active Land...20 Air...and 10 missles. No ships being constructed. How do I send a saved game?

The more research facilities that I have...12.... does my Efficiency drop? I was number one...now two and efficiency is at 87%

57 land fabs is far too many. That will bump up your military spending a lot. I usually dominate with Germany with less than half the fabs you have now. Increasing domestic prices is not a good idea, that forces your population to buy less products from you, that will push you deeper in the red.

I like 35 land fabs. That gives me 5 stacks of 7 units. Although that is even more units that I acualy need. However I constantly decomision old units. But I might bring that down to 21 for future games.

You need to look at your income and expense reports and compare them to your budget. You listed

Daily Income: 15,000M
Daily Expenses 21,000M

So you need to trim 6 billion dollars. You're spending almost 1B in research. You're probably spending a few billion in unit construction and possible a few billion on building new facilities or repairing existing ones if you've been at war.

What are your domestic sales ?

To send a save game.

Zip the save file and e-mail to myspamcatcher(at)beyondbb.com Of course replace the (at) with @. Instead of posting back and forth in tidbits, I will take a look at it, put all the sliders, settings, taxes etc where where I think it will help you and then mail it back. Then you can compare what you have with what you had.

Domestic sales are 11,245 M.

Gonna repeat the question...Does research efficiency drop if you have alot of facilities? I have about 12 and it's dropped to 85%

If it does,i havent noticed or dont remember it.It can drop for :
*next tech level
*adding more techs for research
*change in actual funding vs actual use- which can happen due to the two above,or other changes like gdp/c
