- Yes, it makes no sense to be allowed to have 5000 office workers but you have to spread them all over the place instead fo one office, there is no limitation like this in real life or in business.

- No, I like dumb limitations that arent real, have no place in life or business, and are just plainly unrealistic. I like wasting my time going into 15-30 offices when I shoudl only have to administer one like real life which is much more efficient and cost effective.

What sense is there to say "you can have 5000 officers spread out in all the countries, but you cant put 5000 into one office????.................................. Why the hell not? Its a poor addition to the game, just a bad limitation that exists nowhere in real life and it doesnt add anything to the pleasure or game dynamics and is not needed. All it does is unfairly limit and frustrate people and make administration ten times longer and harder then it should be, taking away from good game play and simply wasting time and resources and teaching people an improper business model.

Also, If anyone has figured out this relationship of how many office workers you need per subdiv and per # of workers etc please contribute to this as it is a bigtime struggle trying to fit anything under this crazy limitation.

This is CRUCIAL info and Must be put into the game, it should be there in the first place as well.

- How do you know how many office workers you will need to do what? (please dont just say "oh look at the #req" To you

)
- What is the relationship between subdivs and office workers needed? It seems like you need 1-3 office workers per factory even if it is not running (has no workers and no supply and is not producing has no stock)
- Early on mgmt levels 1-3 it seems like you need 10 just to run a warehouse dedicated to it.
- This is very important info!!!! You cant build nor optimize anything if you dont know how much office capacity it will eat up thus the only common sense would say put this in game but hey no info is in game so... (endlessly frustrating)
- I closed down a warehouse because I was tapped out in one office by the stupid game limitations that say you can only have so many officers per office like 160 but you can have 5000 spread amongst all the countries.....................................

I made a similar post earlier and there were only few people commented on it. This is actually very crucial info.

Do Russian forums have this? Maybe we could ask VLLord see if he knows. Not precisely

This is probably a scaling problem of the 3 types of required qualification. There should be a way to fine tune the number without tearing the whole system apart.

btw, you need Q50 in managment to control same office (5 000 clerics with qualification 1.0) Do you have that level? So-so

1 Use #req in conjunction with work efficiency link. Once you understand how it works it is very effective.
2 Factories themselves have an office staff requirement before any production staff are added. Usually it is only 1 but will depend on office worker qualification.
3 Warehouses give very little benefit at low quali levels. Much wiser to order straight to factories and stores.
4 Check the work efficiency link and use the % to guage staffing changes (higher percentage above 100 will require bigger changes)
5 That was a smart move, it seems you are learning.

You wont win bro, sorry caspers. I know enough to win, and I have more qualification and size assets cash growth than you. I did it the honest way too unlike you, without clones, so it will be a huge victory for me, and even if I lost which wont happen, I am still the real winner.
