● 意见建议：
1.建议城市位置能够固定下来（比如哪个城市在哪个城市边上），最好每个预制的城市地理特征，能带上一些现实中该地区风貌（如典型或著名的山川河流及名称），相信会更加具有趣味性；
2.感觉游戏中相对缺乏剧情，建议情景模式能增加更多剧情，比如根据历史上某个有名的历史现象、经济事件等进行改编，增强游戏的代入感。

Would you provide some examples of historical events that you would suggest to be integrated into the game?

Hi David, I received an error log like this

The screenshot showing the error message is blurred and cannot be seen clearly. Could you please post a higher-resolution version of the screenshot?

非常感谢大卫先生的详细回复！辛苦开发组同仁订正BUG。以下建议想法供您参考：

1、关于城市位置固定
如果游戏开局可以选择初始城市就好了，然后每个城市周围的几个城市是固定的（比如上海附近有首尔、东京、大阪，香港附近有深圳、广州），为了游戏可玩性考虑，应避免出现差距太大的城市，有些也可以和现实不一致，比如香港附近就可以有新加坡、曼谷等城市。主要是城市间位置能不能相对固定下来，这样一来，玩家就可以选择自己喜欢的区域，感觉会更好一点。

2、关于剧情
可以以历史时间线为背景，然后以某个虚拟角色设定的剧情展开：
◎ 18世纪 50年代（煤炭产业）→60年代(英国纺织业革命）→80年代（英国钢铁产业）
◎ 19世纪 60年代（美国石油商业化）
◎ 20世纪 10年代（美国汽车规模化）→30年代（美国玉米产业化）→40年代（抗生素产业）→50年代（美国半导体产业）→60年代（日本电子家电产业崛起）→70年代（中国杂交水稻推广）→80年代（快递物流产业）→90年代（中国家电产业全球化）
◎ 21世纪 10年代（中国房地产业兴旺）→20年代（中国新能源汽车产业崛起）
