If portugal has that many prestige, you will gain nice prestige a month if they are satelites of you. So if you plan to satelite them, dont humiliate them. However, I doubt if that will get you anywhere near the 2800 prestige you'll need to close 1400 VP gap...

Well, I just figured out (from your posts and then observing the game) how victory score is calculated. o

I think I am toast. I built 10 heavy cruisers and it set me back 100k (more if you include the crap I had to buy). The UK has 500+ ships, and while not all of them are nearly that good, with an income of 700 a day I can't afford to challenge them.

It is now 1908 and the UK has widened its lead to 1800. My score: prestige 250, industrial 3000, military 250. The UK: prestige 4000 (!), industrial 2000, military 1000.

My sole hope now is to just focus on industry to win. I have no idea how industry score is calculated, but I have a level 11 steel factory in Libya. It seems a ridiculous portion of my score comes from that. I de-staffed it to about 45 workers (to fill a level two tank factory I built in Libya) and my industrial score dropped about 500. If I get that thing up to around a level 20, could that give me a chance to take down the UK with an industrial score around 5000?

yes, indeed. If you have lumber/cement factories, do the same, high lvl first-tier factories give enormous amounts of industrial score. Also you may consider promoting aristorcrats if you have industry focused in only a few states...

What about high level non first tier? I see little point in building level 6 or 7 lumber mills at this point, when I could build more profitable stuff like machine part factories or automobiles. Would a level 7 automobile plant be as good as a level 7 cement factory?

edit: just have a couple more questions: first, I'm putting about 65 steel a day on the world market. Is this really run by supply and demand, or is there a floor on how low the price can go? The price is about 15 right now, if I build more factories do I run the risk of dropping it to 6 or 7?

Also, I have Libya with totally maxed out RRs. However, the production efficiency is around 79%. Is this because the bordering provinces aren't maxed out? If so, do I need to RR the entire bordering state to get to 90%, or just the bordering provinces?

Thanks o

It seems so(supply and demand). If demand is too low or supply overwhelms demand too much, price can drop to 0.5 at the lowest, regardless of resource type.

Do residence or moralism have any beneficial effects?

Strangely enough, no.

Thanks o

Entire connected land area if you want full efficiency.

Someone earlier was talking about satelites and got me thinking, do you actually gain anything from satelites except from the defensive alliance?

If the sattelite has a lot of prestige, you gain some prestige, otherwise, no.

How much is a 'lot of prestige'?

Only negative effect, I'm afraid.
- You're less likely to get immigrants.
- Non-national culture POPs are more likely to emigrate.
- Non-national religion POPs are more likely to emigrate.

So which policies will encourage immigration?

P.S This is my 100th post!!!!!!!!!

Full citizenship, secualrised etc. (just your normal liberal policies.)

I think the amount of prestige you gain is a percentage fraction of your sattelites prestige (I don't know the exact number), so the more the better.

I HATE he liberals, their stupid Lasse Faire thing and Free Trade.
Just out of interest, what does Lasse Faire actually mean?

 

[unmerged(18537)]

No. Full citizenship / pluralism is the best combination regarding immigration. Moralism, atheism, and securalized makes no difference.

For detail, please read last part of migration, immigration/emigration, assimilation thread.

If you want more immigrants, you have to accept such things.

Just out of interest, what does Lasse Faire actually mean?

from wikipedia:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Laissez-faire capitalism is the doctrine that markets function to the greatest good when government does not thwart the operation of free markets through intervention.

Historically the term 'Laissez-faire' was first used in the 1700s by French physiocrats in opposition to mercantilism. Later it was popularized by being taken out of context from the works of Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill.

Many say that the phrase "laissez-faire capitalism" is redundant, pointing out that the common definition of capitalism explicitly refers to trade occurring in a "free market." These assert that the concept of "capitalism" is a laissez-faire system by definition.

Economist Milton Friedman and the Cato Institute consider Hong Kong the best example of laissez-faire capitalism model.

Just out of interest, what does Lasse Faire actually mean?

An approach to economic policy that advocates a very limited role for the government, confining its activities to national defense and the enforcement of lawsl.

This French phrase is used by economists to describe a non-interventionist Government policy. It's also french for "Let do", literal translation.
