Wages (Trainer and Youthscout)

[Quatannens]

As we all know, many teams have financial problems. I think this is because they pay way to much salaries. It's no exception that a team has a 20 skill trainer and a youthscout. Paying those two 300k is prettty normal. Most teams don't think about how they will pay those wages. The step is very small, just 10000 euros and you got a skill up. I would suggest to change that system. To make clear that a 20 skill trainer is expensive, the skill up from 19 to 20 should be way higher than from 10 to 11. As compensation the wage won't change that much. I hope that this way, the teams without big income won't get themselves into trouble.

In the next example I will consider a team with a trainer that has 15 flat, mountain or whatever. Now to have 16 weeks training with the highest possible skill it will cost you:
50878+65626+85127+111122+146016+193131*11=2583210 (wage)
10000*5=50000 (to train him from 15 to 20)
This makes a total cost of 2633210 each 16 weeks. As you see the 50000 they have to pay to train the trainer is very low compared to the wage. I would suggest a system like this:
Training
15=>16: 234k
16=>17: 318k
17=>18: 431k
18=>19: 582k
19=>20: 785k
And the wage something like skill*10000. So a 20-trainer has 20k wage. This way a 20 skill trainer will cost 2605000 each 16 weeks. So the cost is pretty much the same, but managers will face the costs immediatly instead of seeing it to late. I don't know how to implent this, but first see if you think it's a good idea or not

I know that you can unlearn skilll, but most managers still think they can handle the wage of 200k from a 20 trainer. And unlearning a skill isn't something that gives you a good feeling

Maybe you could also make it so that you have to set your trainer and YS on training every week again. Like he doesn't increase in skill by default, you would have to select training every week again.
This will cost 1 minute extra every week, but it would prevent 'forgetting' you are training your trainer and the cost next week might rise with 100k, while when you chose to train it was only 5k

edit: I also do like your suggestion.

It's the way you manage a team.
Your explanation is pretty complex quattanens.

Don't think it's a good idea.

Yeah, it's a too complex solution for a 'problem' that's part of a management game

Removing the training each week so players have to set it again is not a bad idea though.

Well... When you are in holidays this is not a good idea...

And you can easely forget it in the other period... Perhaps, you can add the Wage value to the Merchandise sold report

Maybe just select how many weeks you want to train your trainer and show the wage he will earn at the end of that period.
