So i read this thread today about clerks ,i had a question there that i wanted to test out ,so i did that and now i have some stuning results.
This was the question that i had.The limitation's for clerks in factory's in Victoria are pop based ,the rule is you can have up to 2 clerks in a factory and you need a double amount of craftsman pops to clerks ,thus to employ 2 clerks you must have 4 craftsman.
I was wondering if pop size mattered for this equasion ,if you would maximize to get youre biggest pops to clerks ,would the 4 crafts to 2 clerks rule still apply?
As for testing ,i chose a small 1 province nation with enough pop's to achieve good test results.A wonderfull chose was Parma.
Parma:
1 province
9 pops 1 aristo ,1 clergy ,1 officer ,1 soldier ,1 clerks ,1 craftsman ,3 labourers.
1 canned food factory
techspeed:
0.61
This is the basic setup of Parma.For testing purposes i cheat.I expand the canned food factory to lvl 2.I demote the clergy pop to labourer ,and then upgrade all labourers to craftsmen.
Here is the situation with 5 craftsmen (details included) and 1 small clerk pop :
6 pops working in a lvl2 canned food factory:
- 3010 craftsmen
- 4013 "
- 9030 "
- 76254 "
- 17057 "
- 4013 clerks
factory output = 0.9
Pop breakdown: (for clerks and crafts only)
craftsmen 92%
clerks 3.4%
Techspeed:
0.62
Good.Now i cheat a little to get the goods to upgrade pops to clerks.We take the 2 most populated pops (17057 and 76254) and convert them to clerks ,and demote the small clerks pop to craftsmen.The clerks can still work in the canned food factory since there is a ratio of 2 clerk pops for 4 craftsmen.
The (stunning) results:
6 pops working in a lvl2 canned food factory:
- 76254 Clerks
- 17057 "
- 4013 craftsmen
- 9030 "
- 4013 "
- 3010 "
Factory output = 1.1
pop breakdown:
craftsmen 16.9 %
Clerks 78.8%
TECHSPEED:
1.87 !
Wich basicly means i can have the whole techtree invented by 1890 ,since i get enough RP's to trade tech a plenty.
I recon there are plenty of nations who have both 100.000 size pops and 1000 size pops ,exploiting this for tech purposes is easy for amost nation and definatly for manpower rich big nations.
