Also wasn't tiger mania a thing post operation overlord? The Panzer 4H and J versions did look like a miniature tiger.

probably because they didn't need it and the panther/tiger were already ridiculously overweight

Wait are you claiming logistics are crucial?

Why didn't the germans put their spaced armor on later era tanks and kept it to the pz3 and 4?

Amount of Wealth
These multipliers also apply to Typical Monthly Pay. The actual monthly pay can be as low as the previous TL or as high as the next TL. The typical status[1] is also listed:

Dead Broke [-25]: no starting wealth
Poor [-15]: 1/5 of starting wealth, Status -2
Struggling [-10]: 1/2 of starting wealth, Status -1
Average: Status 0
Comfortable [10]: 2 times starting wealth, Status 1
Wealthy [20]: 5 times starting wealth, Status 2
Very Wealthy [30]: 20 times starting wealth, Status 3
Filthy Rich [50]: 100 times starting wealth, Status 4
Multimillionaire [50+25/level]: 100*10 per level times starting wealth, Status 5 w/+1 for each level

Where's that V3 reddit post that was ranting about how terrible land owners were and how they wish they'd all gently caress off so the poster could make the country better?

played as the USA a couple days ago and beat the hell out of the land owners until they became totally politically marginalized by an unholy coalition of academics, capitalists, and workers. also i didn't give in to the klan during reconstruction so southern culture became legally discriminated against after the civil war while afro-american became a primary culture lol

Still don't see a mechanism by which factories lower their wages whenever possible though. So seems like a temporary labour shortage causing a wage spike might lead to structurally higher wages. If welfare remains tied to wages rather than SoL cost that might be an issue.

Lostconfused posted:

Yes it explicitly says they are not doing that on purpose in the part of the patch notes I quoted.

Any sort of labour shortage shouldn't cause a structurally higher wage though unless the entire country is broken in some way. Labourers would just switch from working at one building to another. It should just drive down employment and productivity at less profitable buildings until they raise wages or stop operating entirely.

Ok here you go, have fun.

code:

laborers = {
	texture = "gfx/interface/icons/pops_icons/laborers.dds"
	color = hsv{ 0.02 0.38 0.37 }
	strata = poor
	unemployment = yes
	can_always_hire = yes
	start_quality_of_life = 5
	wage_weight = 1
	dependent_wage = 0.5	# per year

        BUILDING_INITIAL_WAGE_WEEKS = 2				# A building will not adjust its wages for the first this many weeks of its existence
	MAX_WAGE_STEP_CHANGE = 0.1					# Wage rates can change at most this much each week
	BUILDING_INIT_PROFIT_TARGET_MIN = 0.10 		# Minimum % income a building wants to have as profit during initialization (will decrease wages towards this)
	BUILDING_INIT_PROFIT_TARGET_MAX = 0.20 		# Maximum % income a building wants to have as profit during initialization (will increase wages towards this)
	BUILDING_PROFIT_TARGET_TO_RAISE_WAGES = 0.2	# Required profit margin raise wages no matter what, with BUILDING_WEEKS_BETWEEN_PAY_RAISES weeks cooldown
	BUILDING_WEEKS_BETWEEN_PAY_RAISES = 26		# Cooldown between pay raises no matter what
	MIN_RAISE_TO_HIRE = 0.10					# The minimum required increase in wages for an employee to switch jobs (1.0 = +100% = x2)
	SUBSISTENCE_OUTPUT_AVERAGE_WAGE_RATE_FACTOR = 150   # Each 1.0 of subsistence output counts as this much wage rate when setting normal wages
	PEASANT_STARTING_WAGE_RATE_FACTOR = 1.0		# For the sake of calculating starting normal wages, treat peasants as having this pop type wage multiplier
	STARTING_WAGE_RATE_MULTIPLIER = 2.0			# Starting wage rate is multiplied by this (for easy balancing)
	NORMAL_WAGE_RATE_FALLBACK = 500.0			# If it's impossible to compute a normal wage rate (e.g. if every incorporated pop works in government buildings) set it to this (weekly £ per POP_SIZE_PACKAGE employees)
	MINIMUM_WAGE_RATE = 10.0					# The wage rate can never drop below this, no matter what (weekly £ per POP_SIZE_PACKAGE employees)
	MAXIMUM_WAGE_RATE = 100000.0				# The absolute maximum that a building's wage rate can be increased to.


	DEFAULT_POP_TYPE = "laborers"				# Used by: create_pop effects; migration; injured military leaving their outposts; slaves default employment role; etc.

	POP_SIZE_PACKAGE = 10000					# "Normal" pop size used as a divisor on population when determining e.g. Needs to buy, wages to pay, etc

And I was wrong, it even does what you wanted

code:

      OBSESSION_DEMAND_MIN = 1.0					# The minimum relative demand of an obsession (overrides min demand in buy package goods categories)
	OBSESSION_DEMAND_MULT = 2.0					# Demand of an obsession is multiplied by this
	MIN_POPS_FOR_NEW_OBSESSION = 50000			# At least this many pops of a culture must live in a market to get an obsession from its goods
	MIN_SUPPLY_LEVEL_FOR_NEW_OBSESSION = 0.75	# Supply needs to be at least this times the demand
	MIN_DEMAND_VALUE_FOR_NEW_OBSESSION = 1000	# At this amount of (number of units * goods base price) needs to be demanded in a market to create a new obsession
	MAX_NUM_OBSESSIONS = 3						# A culture can only have this number of obsessions at the same time
	OBSESSION_SPAWN_CHANCE = 0.1				# Per year (1.0 = 1%), multiplied by goods supply and market size mult
	OBSESSION_SPAWN_CHANCE_MAX_SUPPLY_MULT = 3.0		# Supply relative to demand above this isn't factored into spawn chance

Edit: I kind of mixed them up but the building wages are set in Victoria 3\game\common\defines\00_defines.txt and the populations are defined in Victoria 3\game\common\pop_types so you can fiddle with it all you want.
