how long should I wait to build industry ?

Hi..whenever I conquer a province I`ve been building propaganda centers..it takes a long time to build morale..usually when I get to 50% I start building industry...should I keep building propaganda centers until I reach 75 or 100 % then build industry ? Inquiring minds want to know. 8o

I wanted to clarify something that was mentioned a few times in this thread:

Propaganda Offices do make morale increases go faster, by increasing the target morale. That it because morale on daychange is increased by 1/7 (roughly 15%) of the difference between current morale and target morale.

So a lvl3 Propaganda office gives you +40% morale. Let's say your current morale is 70% and your target morale is 100% without Propaganda office, and 140% with porpaganda office.

Then the morale at daychange would rise by 4% without propaganda office, and by +10% with propaganda office, because the difference to target morale is bigger.

I stand corrected there. In your example you get to 100% in 4 days rather then 8 days. Those are core city examples so after you reach 100% they are doing no more then provide extra hitpoints.

So in a core city that starts with 6000 goods, you pay the 3550 goods to build 3 propaganda offices on the first day and you will see 3300 goods more then one who didn't build propaganda over an 8 day period. After that, no extra.

Level 3 propaganda requires. 2650 food, 3550 goods, 1250 preceious material, and 7500 cash. takes 18hrs.

Level 2 industry costs...2100 metal, 2800 oil, 2550 precious material and 7450 cash. Takes 22 hrs.

The industry will yield 1500 goods more a day for 7 days, and keep paying for rest of game.

It is bizarre how with moral target level increases of 10, 23 and 40 percent, that the moral effect to target no matter from where is alway exactly 10 for each level of increase.

If you look at all the building in that way.... Cost to Benefit... then you begin appreciate which ones are worth building on Day 1, and which are not worth building on day 10 of a game likely to last only another 2 days...

.. Unless you're going for the Economic Points on your Rank.

I always build industry at the beginning of the game..if I don`t I run out of resources..what I don`t understand is the purpose of building propoganda centers in conquered provences..if there is no point in building industry what`s the point of increasing morale ?
This is by far one of the biggest flaws in the game. Return should be based on distance. with a maximum of 75%. Thus a conquered province stuck on your core country should have very little penalty and that should increase the more outwardly one goes.

Again not my game, just a suggestion.
