I was thinking that IB's are missing from this game.It would be really a big improvement if this option would be added to the game.

I need some time to go to all the details, but most of your ideas do make sense.

Thanks! I spent a bit of time writing all that! I just hope David reads through it ;) Don't know if something like that would fit into the initial version of Cap Lab... Even though I think the media firm could more or less be adapted to largely cover the functions I laid out, there might be more behind the scenes programming than I'm thinking. However from things I've read on here in the past it sounds like they want to continually evolve the product, so perhaps it could make it in a future revision.

I know I would have great fun in running a bank like I laid out! As I stated it would be a very slow, long build up type industry, which is what I like. Plus it could be very capital intensive, which I find later in the game it's hard to find enough "expensive" stuff to invest in to soak up all my profit!

It is a good idea. However, I want to mention a point, that companies bankrupcy occurred in mid-game is very common.

Being a bank owner, we should consider the arrangement of borroower bankrupcy. Does it only sell all belonging to market to redeem the company debts.

If the money is still not enough to pay back, who take the lost? It need us to discuss.

I was in the process of tidying up the Suggestions forum and saw this old post written back in 2012 suggesting bank features.

Delighted to see that most of the suggestions in the posts have finally been implemented in the Banking DLC. :)

I would encourage anyone who has ideas for improving the game to go ahead and post in Suggestions forum and vote for existing polls. With some patience, good suggestions will eventually receive their fair shares of attention from the dev team (once they become less busy with their tasks at hand.)
