New Options to Control Subsidiary CEO Actions in upcoming version 11.0

[David]

In the next major version of Capitalism Lab V11.0, you will have more options to control subsidiary CEO actions:

Restrict Subsidiary Expansion: You can now disallow subsidiary CEOs from setting up new Service Firms, Import and Export companies, giving you more control over the strategic direction of your subsidiaries.

Farming Expansion Limitation: You can now limit the farming expansion of your subsidiary CEOs. When the "Farming" option is disabled, CEOs will only establish new farms to supply agricultural inputs to production chains. When enabled, CEOs will actively set up farms and produce agricultural products for retail.

Bond Issuance Control: You can now prevent subsidiary CEOs from issuing bonds to fund business expansion. However, if a company runs out of cash, the CEO will still be able to issue bonds to ensure its survival, regardless of this setting.

They are not removed. It was just that when the screenshot was taken, the Digital Age DLC was not enabled.

I just had another look at this - will these changes also allow control over whether subsidiaries can build shopping malls?

I like to open many subs and themselves to have some subs but then there is no easy way to see the tree structure of your "empire"

In the Corporate Details View it just show they are my subs but not the direct parent or grand parent(!)
It would be nice to have a tree/graph view of your corporation and subs

This is an interesting idea - a neat way of finding out who owns what. Structured as a tree. It wouldn't even need to be for subsidiaries, you could just have a tree that simply tabulated the percentages of who owned what, even having two arrows if both corps had mutual ownership of each other.

I really think there should be the possiblity of selecting the buildings each sub can and cant build like the option to select the sub control.
I want to make a company that just makes drugs but for some reason even tho it would be more effienct to build drug shops its building normal department stores and selling everything even when i have told it under the scope of products to just sell drugs. If we have the ability to select the stores it could build it would limit it to just what the building can sell. Such as selecting Automotive you could set up a car dealership, if you selected just fast food you could make macdonalds etc. limits the growth of the companies but it sticks to the market,builds up the brand you want it in whilst you are focusing on other markets.More complex I know but maybe have it as a 5th tab on the same panel with the building it can build in a similar box tick style like the below. would do anything to get this added in :lol

Thanks for your suggestion.

I would recommend that you create a poll for your suggestion to gauge the community's interest in it. There would be a higher chance that the dev team will implement it if the interest level is high.

You could see some examples of the polls in the Suggestions forum at http://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14
