Improvements and new minor features after release

Post by David »

Apart from the major new features after release (see this post: http://www.capitalismlab.com/forum/view ... f=14&t=848), we may implement minor improvements and new features after release with a lower to much lower milestone target (depending on how much resources it takes for the implementation).

Like the major new feature poll, we have set up a poll for improvements and new minor features for your voting.

You may also suggest other new improvements and new minor features. (The poll is limited to 10 choices and there are empty slots that we can fill in with other ideas at the moment.)

I would like to see the stock market area enhanced more. Sometimes people just play with the stocks. There needs to be some kind of button that allows you to buy all available stock in that company, it gets annoying to hit buy and then ok a ton of times. Maybe change it to where you can merger with any company, even with out owning 75% of that company.Depending on the cities and countries there in, there should be different laws or something unique. Like a city in China, should get cheaper costs on resources. Also low wages. Maybe, eventually this game will turn into a Civilization, Sim City, Superpower, Wall street raider, and the Total War game hybrid. Just knowing how some people think the game is already complicated, it would be crazy awesome if you merged all those games into one.

But idea of different economic rules in different country is worth something. Probably EU, USA and Far East, the Commonwealth... and Russia... Gulf Nations... Latin America...

If you can figure this out, how and what the differences should be, please do it, i wanna see more of this idea.
I can help you with one tip - "taxes/tax breaks".

I would very much like the ability to save your game settings so whenever you restart a game you don't have to manually adjust all settings again.

EDIT: And also the ability to type in values rather than holding the spinners for eternity :).
