Capitalism 2 and Capitalism Lab Forum

I've been playing Cap2 since 2004, but I may be overlooking something,; if not, this needs to be improved. It has always taken me 500 individual clicks to set a goal of $5 billion in the set up screen. And it can take a good fifteen seconds to get from $1.78 to $0.01 when setting prices in a store. Maybe allow the player to type in these numbers.

I really love this game. I have a ton of suggestions but will space them out. Glad to see this game is still alive and improving. Thanks!

Right clicking changes 10 times as fast as left clicking.

I just tested it does take about 10 seconds to set a personal wealth goal of 5 billion.... setting a goal of 100 billion would take about 200 seconds. That would be a long time. Maybe we could propose middle clicking could be 100 times as fast?

Ahhh. It's right-click. Thanks. You just saved me hours of my life. All these years...

Not sure if I should blame my own stupidity or user-unfriendly interface. lol But I think most games though use the convention that the longer you hold the button down, the faster numbers change.

Actually, they should just make those button go away, and use digital input (same for the advertising budget sliders in stores).

No thanks, anyone who uses sliders in games knows that it takes more time to move the slider to exactly the right spot you want than to click on buttons. Eventually you end up doing both such as with Hearts of Iron 2.

Actually, I meant 'digital input' by typing in the numbers. I agree that sliders are unsatisfactory, and would rather type in a dollar amount for advertising, prices, etc.

It will be nice if we can enter number instead of slider and plus minus button. Don't make those button dissapear, they useful sometimes. Just add digital input function when we click on numbers.
