Me too, by the way...
But it's on the poll in "tourism option"... or maybe i think so?
Tourism industry may include:
- bars
- cinemas
- casinos
- restaurants
- night clubs
- fast food joints
- hotels
and probably so on...
But this mean at least 7 new buildings in the game, with brand new mechanism for them (they can work like shops or factories). In anyway the food/bevarage industry can profit in this toursim sector. But the AI gotta find new formulas to determine the number of tourists that come in any given city, demand for these services and so on. May be it is hard to implement just like that, it still will add more realism and will expand the game.
At first I was just sticking with the idea of Restaurants and Fast Food Chains which their game mechanism would be similar to the retail stores in the game.
However after reviewing your point, I think the other ideas for tourism such as hotels, night clubs are also very good and those can be implemented like what we erect apartments or libraries.
But for Tourism point, it would need some additional implementations to the game, which can be quite distinctive as a change. So without Tourism (without putting Tourists to the game), I am on the side of Restaurants, Food Chains and erecting Hotels, Bars&Night Clubs like Apartments with a continuous supply of cash but with advertisement. (Hotels, Bars can be shown as a product and their price range, brand level could be maintained from that place; and also their branding could continue with same way with Corporate, Range or Unique branding.)
So my point is, implementing restaurants and food chains to the game will not need need any tourists to the game, so I think this can be shown in a seperate title in the poll.
Maybe for all these options in your first message, we can mention all the alternatives in the first message (like you provided me for Tourism Industry, thank you for your detailed response) and the information can be put more clearly, and those can give developers some ideas to implement to the game.
For Energy Industry, there can be Gas Stations in the game, which their effectiveness could be dependant on Gas&Oil Industry. (Shell, Exxon, BP, Total campaings in a city)
However, this can also need more complex and bigger cities, as well as for some other options in the poll.
