Gameplay Balance Improvements
1) Each AI person will not build more than one mansion, so that mansions from AI will no longer clutter the city center.

2) AI corporations will not always set up factories in cities with the lowest labor cost. If it is the city where the corporation is based in (as hinted by the location of its HQ), it may favor that city. The CEO’s management style will determine how large such factors (labor cost, HQ’s location) are in the decisions of choosing locations for factories.

3) Improved the central bank’s decisions on interest rate changes when the Inflation mode is off.

4) Improved the advertising incomes of traditional media firms.

5) Improved the simulation component governing the acquisitions or losses of the visitors/audience of traditional media firms and Internet firms.

6) Economic conditions will affect local companies' advertising spendings on traditional media companies and web companies. (http://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewto ... =14&t=7130)

7) Natural resource sites will be generated outside the city center. (http://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewto ... =14&t=7139)

8) Increased the profitability of Internet firms.

9) AI will stop producing new versions of a software product if the OS company has ceased operations and will eventually stop producing or selling software products that run on the OS.

10) The IPO price will be $100 instead of $10 if the total number of shares pre-IPO reaches 100,000,000 shares.


Minor Improvements
2) Increased the font size on the firm filter list (accessible from the buttons under the mini-map.)

3) Added context sensitive help to the buttons on the research interface of University.
