Setting training level, auto link for all firms

[Steve]

After taking over a company, I have to manually go through all the acquired firms to reduce the training level and/or enable/disable the auto link. Is there a way to apply to all? If not, please consider adding this as a feature.

[Kane]

Great idea, it would be nice to set the training level for all firms at a time or even better set one level for Farms, another level for Factories, R&D etc.

No there's not. Would have to be intelligent enough not to set training for those already at max level. (edit: and one of our community members would point it's a waste to train units without high utilization anyway.)

So, whether (and how much) to train is a strategic decision. I'd like the shortcut, but as you can see with price setting, such things haven't so far been automated for free. We can currently hire a COO to set training levels if we don't want to do it ourselves.

So, it's a strategic decision, which is best done by the human brain. I'd like the shortcut, but as you can see with price setting, such things haven't so far automated for free. We can currently hire a COO to set training levels if we don't want to do it ourselves.

Units that are trained to level 9 are not trained in the current version of cap lab, at least no costs are calculated for the training of level 9 units, so this wouldn't be a problem.

It could be added to the Human Resources Department

You may want to know that this suggested has been accepted and is currently scheduled for implemented.

I hope the implementation is only for the acquired firm units and happens at the time of acquisition. Another improvement would be to prioritize the acquirer R&D facilities over the acquire so that when there's a duplication the acquired r&d is stopped and not your r&d firms.

New feature preview for the upcoming post-release beta v2.4.00:

Use the new features in the headquarters to:
1) set a new advertising budget to all of your advertising units or selected ones
2) set a new training level to all of your firms or selected ones.

[WilliamMGary]

Any feedback on the suggestion to allow the CMO sole control (besides the player of course/w option to turn off ability) over all advertising units, so that even if an ad unit is in a retail store the COO doesn't have the ability to make adjustments.

Yeah, add COO option

COO Controls Advertising Units - Yes/No
