3 days ago there was an inmportant announcement on the russian forum... Guess this information is worth to be mentioned here as well.
Now in English. I'll explain the new algorithm using the following example. As for November 20, your qualification in production was 5. According to the new algorithm you get a penalty of 5% growth slowdown for every "qualification up of itself". Penalties are summed up according to a compaund interest formula, not a simple one. Expected growth in production: Q lvl was now 5 40% 40% 6 36% 36/1.05 = 34% 7 33% 33/1.05^2 = 30% 8 31% 31/1.05^3 = 27% ... 20 18% 18/1.05^15 = 9% -> you decided to buy 21st lvl with game points 21 - - 22 17% 17% 23 17% 17/1.05 = 16% and so on... Buying qualification with game points burns down previous penalties (for this qualification field only). Penalties are independent for every qualification field (production, commerce etc.). Let's consider another example. You've just started and you want to get to Q50 in management. Q lvl was now 1 100% 100% ... 10 27% 17% ... 30 14% 3% ... 50 11% 1% Note #1. All qualification skills gained before November 20, don't affect growth (no penalty). Note #2. It takes 28 days to get 10 in management on condition that you grow at max. Table #1 Q lvl Slowdown (times) 1 1,00 2 1,05 3 1,10 4 1,16 5 1,22 6 1,28 7 1,34 8 1,41 9 1,48 10 1,55 11 1,63 12 1,71 13 1,80 14 1,89 15 1,98 16 2,08 17 2,18 18 2,29 19 2,41 20 2,53 21 2,65 22 2,79 23 2,93 24 3,07 25 3,23 26 3,39 27 3,56 28 3,73 29 3,92 30 4,12 31 4,32 32 4,54 33 4,76 34 5,00 35 5,25 36 5,52 37 5,79 38 6,08 39 6,39 40 6,70 41 7,04 42 7,39 43 7,76 44 8,15 45 8,56 46 8,99 47 9,43 48 9,91 49 10,40 50 10,92 Table #2 ![]() |

If the points were cheaper, I think more people would buy them and get plantations, mines and things like that. I mean like 10 times cheaper
You would also see more logos, more brands... |

| Hmm... so this is why my production qualification is stuck at 20... | |||||||

| How long does it take to achieve levels 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 with this new natural growth algorithm and without investing in points? | |||||

20 - appr. 4.5 monthes (real) 30 - appr. 1 year 40 - appr. 2 years 50 - appr. 4 years 60 - appr. 8 years |

And that's the best case scenario - that is, if you are hardcore micro-manager who enjoys running their company on a neural network principle - will do anything, however unnatural, just so the numbers are right and the qualifications are 100% loaded. On the other hand, if you are role-playing it, I'd say multiply these numbers at least by two (that's from personal experience). |

| Thank you dear qualification growth algorithm! goodbye virtonomics! It was a pleasure. |
