Same thing happens, apprentices are now journeyman and can work on their own, and new apprentices can do the same work for a third of the price.

Thats literally how it works? All the apprentices are now journeyman, they go off on their own, and they hire a new batch for the next multi year project.

It’s not feasible to continue a company with thousands of workers making $50 plus, when you can get the same work done with $20 laborers and apprentices.

They dont always have consistent jobs though, and a finished game, just like a finished building, needs a token amount of employees to maintain compared to the fleet that maybe built it.

Isn’t actually part of their rules to put “rule” in the title too though?
