USA industry score must be bugged!

[HMS Enterprize]

I started a thread about this in the main area but I thought I would ask at the modder fountain of knowledge.

In most of my games I see the USA with a balmy industry score that almost always puts it in first place regardless of other factors.

I would love to hear any thoughts on this example.

Germany had 1/3rd more factories and double the export value of USA yet the USA had a industry rating of 2000 compared to 900 approx value of germany!?!

What is goin on here? I see this in almost every game I play and am frankly surprised I dont see others mention it.

Is industry rating calculated with other factors Im missing out? even so, these figures dont make sense!

And on a wider note why is it that 50 low-end factories with a low export give a higher industry rating than 25 high tech factories with a high export?? Am I missing something?

I remember in my games before Russia used to have a HUGE industry rating even though it had very little industries.

That was a problem (error) but was fixed in the patches IIRC.

Where is the USA's main industrial base? In one game I played where the USA got into a war with the CSA, Mexico, Prussia, Russia, France, and.. well, you get the idea, they lost just about all of their northern provinces except for New England, and yet still was #1 in Industry afterwards. The CSA's industry barely went up at all afterwards.

Unless that only changes monthly or something and I didn't play long enough afterwards, but I THINK I played for about a month later.. I should finish that game.

New england and especially New York probably hold the majority of USA's industrial strength.

Has anyone noticed another bug in USA's industry score. Whenever I play as them, my industry points are constantly oscillating. They go from 54 to -23 to -342 to some other random number each day. Do any of the patches address this little nuisance?

When you get provinces from USA in a war, it´s usually around 15-20 industries in each of the northen provinces...

 

[killerdude11]

your industrial score goes down if u have loans so maybe all other countries have a HUGE loan

From what I've heard you get Ind points per factory,railroaded province. Also small pops are apparently the most efficient so combine all this with internal pop migration and USA and you have something untouchable. Which I guess it was and still is.

So in an ideal land, factories everywhere with 1 pop working as small as possible with multi ethnic communities. Dont sound like fun though.
