[planned] 4.4.19 - Bug - CMO Man. Setting - Prefer med firm

Post by meRlinX_AT »

Hallo,

the CMO Management Setting "Prefer own and sub media firms" and "Prefer own media firms" needs maybe a little tweak.

The CMO will to often prefer the media from others ...
ex: my rating is 4 points higher but the other (no Sub) is 0.01 cent cheaper --> he tooks the cheaper one?! :o

... and i will always take my own media when existing and just another if there is non in the city :)

There is an option "only advertise in own and subsidiary media firms" that you can choose.

We change "only advertise in own and subsidiary media firms" to "only advertise in own and subsidiary media firms whenever possible".

The help message for "only advertise in own and subsidiary media firms whenever possible" will be as follows:

"In the cities where you or your subsidiary companies have media firms, your firms will only advertise in them. Otherwise, your firms will advertise in competitors' media firms as well."

Will this resolve the problem for you? If you don't like this solution, how exactly would you suggest tweaking the "prefer own and subsidiary media firms" option?
