Professions
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The population's potential activities are:
|
|
- agriculture
|
|
- fishing
|
|
- industrial work
|
|
- trading
|
|
- serving in the army
|
|
- being unemployed
|
|
|
|
You determine only the number of soldiers directly, but indirectly you can
|
|
influence all of the professions. It is very important because the various
|
|
activites provide different incomes, and thus the tax revenues are affected
|
|
as well. Provided that all sciences have the same level, the ratio of revenues
|
|
are following:
|
|
unemployed : peasant : fisher : worker : merchant
|
|
0 : 1 : 1 : 2 : 4
|
|
And of course we shouldn't forget that unemployment spoils the morale. To be a
|
|
bit more exact: The morale is multiplied by the employment rate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What factors (and in which sequence) influence the professions?
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Soldiers
|
|
You can set their number exactly by recruiting and demobilizing.
|
|
2. Merchants
|
|
Their number is calculated by the following formula:
|
|
(2% of the population) * (science level of trade) * (trading area)
|
|
The size of trading area depends on the position of the countries you
|
|
trade with, and on the strength of your fleet:
|
|
- neighbouring empires count with 100% of their land area
|
|
- the land areas of empires that can be reached by sea are modified by
|
|
the proportion of your territorial waters
|
|
- unapproachable (or neutral or enemy) countries don't count at all
|
|
The proportion of merchants cannot exceed 20% of the population.
|
|
3. Workers
|
|
Their number:
|
|
(10% of the population) * (science level of industry)
|
|
Maximum limit: 50% of population
|
|
4. Peasants
|
|
The rest of your subjects is divided between peasants and fishermen in the
|
|
ratio of the food producing potential of your land and sea territories.
|
|
The maximum number of peasants:
|
|
(food potential of your lands) * (level of agriculture) * 80
|
|
5. Fishermen
|
|
Their maximum number:
|
|
(length of coast) * (1 + sea proportion) * (level of sailing) * 25
|
|
6. Unemployed
|
|
If some people still don't have a job, they remain unemployed.
|
|
|
|
So to make a long story short, the best way to decrease unemployment is to
|
|
develop the various branches of science - with exception of medicine!
