Advanced start concerns

Post by Esoteric Rogue »

1) During advanced start, when stock purchase is not allowed, I think it makes sense to disallow the AI from buying stock in your corporation. It's strange after a head start to begin with all your outstanding shares already bought up. Rather, the illusion should be that your company is not founded until the advanced start has completed.

2) Forcing the game to pause after the advanced start phase has completed would be helpful. The idea is that the player can leave the computer and maybe go to the store or even to sleep, and return to an advanced world ready to go.

3) Similarly, it would be great if the game could autosave when the advanced start phase has completed.

4) Ideally, I would like to be able to turn on both constant game speed, and advanced start. Let's see, it does get odd with "allow stock purchase", however. When stock is disabled during advanced start, the speed should still be equal to 5 until the advanced start is over, after which the constant speed setting should kick in. This point is not a high priority to me, though.

I am enjoying both advanced start and constant game speed very much.

(I think I meant to put this in script sections, :shock: )

Good suggestions. Will implement them in the new version 2.3.06.

When Stock Purchase is not Allowed, would you be able to prevent the player's corporation's stock price from changing, or reset it to $10.00 at the completion of head start, to accurately reflect the IPO?

Everything else is great! I'm so happy about the autosave.

In this image, after a 1 year headstart, stock has dropped more than 10%.
