Bug Fixes and Changes
Fixed the bug with land value calculation when building a new firm.

Fine-tuned the rental incomes of apartments and commercial buildings. Please test this version and let us know if you think the rental incomes of apartments and commercial buildings are still too high or too low.

Fixed the mouse scroll bug with the pick supplier window.

The formula for calculating your total loan credit has been changed . Your (total loan+annual profit) to (total company equity) ratio cannot be larger than 1 in most cases.

the rental income inside my game of my commercial building is 3.2% - 6.9% return per year by ( profit x12/ market value of building )

apartment is 1.2%-6.5% return per year

i have 49% market shares at real estates at this game , i guess this new patch is highly encourage player get into real estates industry !

i found out another issues was, economic states as"boom" keep very long period of time as my last game , i just play87 years only , it only had 4 recession periods and the recession periods end very quick .

would you mind to change the speed or freuqency of the cycle of economic state? Crsis and recession period bring the game more exciting to player management and diversify of company investment

another issues i found out is most the AI company is seating with alot of cash and with no bank load , but they just dont expanding either manufacturing , farming , retailing , real estates ....., they just seat with cash or just keep their own business only , from my game time 40 years to 87 years. i am put my focus on what computer company doing and how to use the cash , i found out they just stop to do anything meaningful....at those 47 years...

i will try to play few more game to make sure my findings!

anyway we need more competitive competitor

I find Increasing + the Trainning to max is painful (takes too much time to make it max).. or can put a box to enter the value lol? Previous Cap2 when i click + sign, it goes zoom to the max.. same with Shares, can at least put a small box for us to enter the value ?

But i also know in Cap2 theres a negative , where if i click too fast either the + sign or - sign.. it goes too fast... so maybe u can take a look at it.. thx

I'm all for this, it would save a lot of time!

I find playing 10 players, 7 cities, as time goes by even with game speed at max, our game becomes slower, similar to cap2...U
