1) The AI is not programmed to take advantage of the player intentionally. It makes decisions based on supply/demand mainly. The price increased because there were more companies buying the ad slots from that media firm.
Yes it's all fine, but they increase the price waaay too much. It goes from 10 dollars to 25 and that just in 1 month. I like they idea of making it hard for the player by this, but at one point switching between media firms because of the extreme jumps in price is annoying.
What keys do you suggest to use for map scrolling? (they have to be not in conflict with existing keys)
I'm thinking W A S D should do well, i don't find the current functions of W A S D useful at all - maybe you could make it so user could change key bindings as they like ?
Did you mean this on firm detail screen, or product detail screen, or both? I tried both and they are okay. Can you be more specific on the problem?
Firm detail. I think they're fine for me at the start of the game but become buggy later on.

It doesn't cost you extra salary expenses for higher level workers actually. So there will be no advantage for downgrading.
Yes but it does cost more to keep large factory running instead of small one. I guess making factory smaller doesn't really make sense, but expanding is necessary in my opinion. At the moment i have to open another factory if the current one doesn't give me enough supply.
It seems that under certain circumstances this bug will happen. Could you try to provide an action sequence for re-producing this bug?
It happens constantly about 20 years in the game, dont think this is an issue at the start of the game.
EDIT: just tested and yes, its fine at the start of the game.

You may start a topic on this and poll other users' feedback on how they exactly would like to see this improved.

e.g. 10 CPM is too low, so the AI raise the price to a normal level of 25 CPM. The players would have the rights to do that and if we are to restrict the AI from doing that, we have to set some rules on the AI's restrictions and this will need more user discussions.

Can you send me your saved game with this problem via dropbox?
I'm thinking W A S D should do well, i don't find the current functions of W A S D useful at all - maybe you could make it so user could change key bindings as they like ?
'S' is used for saving games
'D' is for corporate detail report
and etc.

You may start a new topic about this and get other's feedback and suggestions for the key assignment.

I'm not sure what DropBox is and how it works. Isn't there a easier way to upload the file somewhere, PS where does cap lab store saved files, there used to be a folder in normal capitalism 2 called save. Can't seem to find it right now, might be because I'm a little bit drunk and can't see it, but i dont think its there.

Yes i know that, but i don't find those bindings useful, i think this really does need a poll.
