game speed in later years

[Esoteric Rogue]

in the game when you get past 2040 the game gets to be really slow were 1 day is 3 seconds which this may be my ADHD talking but is way to slow is there a way to fix it if not there needs to be a patch or something

That will always be an issue sooner or later, but of course we prefer later. You can mitigate it by playing with fewer competitors and fewer cities.

they should find better algorithms or something because a bushiness simulation should be able to go for a long time because your going to make a company and run it for as long as you can not for 20 years last I checked most company's last longer than that

Maybe they want to encourage business consolidation. In 20 year most industries experience consolidation maybe the game is simulating that. Hmmm....

Try Stock market screen or any other report screens, the time goes a lot faster there. It looks like graphics is slowing down everything

I would really appreciate a tool that would each year take revenue and profit for all your business units and allow you to see the % increase / decrease like a spreadsheet but with the ability to zoom out by business type (retail stores) and zoom down all the way to an individual store (drugstoe01 for instance).Though heavily numbers focused I think players can benefit from such a tool (manually during this will take away from game play). This will allow a CEO to be able to look at their business by numbers and help them spot trends such as this new found tobacco simulation and identify were they could improve their operations.

Looking at pure numbers of a business is what CEOs of multibillion dollars businesses do IRL, also would further enhance the ability of the game to be used in academic environments.

I've decided the number of competitors is the biggest factor to game speed; number of cities doesn't have as much effect. Scrolling all the way to the left provides me with a mostly blank screen, and the Bank Loan screen seems to be the fastest report that I've noticed.
