Banking Beta issues

[David]

I go to the new bond interface and choose amount, desirable term and get a bond at, say, 7.25%p/a interest. Immediately after that I am able to issue a second bond for the same (or any other) amount and the same term. This second bond will have 1.0% lower interest.

I just tested it in the same way that you described but didn't get a lower interest - see the attached screenshot.

Please try the latest version 6.0.08 and see if it makes any difference.

I have sent you a save file. You can run it and immediately push issue bond now several times. I see this after issuing several default 10M bonds:
(by the way, the save that I PM'd you is from 6.0.7)

3. I still do not pay any taxes on my Real Estate income.

As I mentioned in my previous reply, the other issues not related to Banking and Finance DLC issues are queued for fixing by the dev.

It's a pity because this one is probably important.

New version - new bug

Starting a new game in 6.0.8. After a month I have some leftover money and my initial 80% bond became ridiculously cheap. Great! Let's buy it out!

Wait a second... Looks like I got a lot of free money just for buying back my bond.

Just for fun. Here's my balance sheet after 2 years on minimal startup capital with 80% bond.

Of course I cannot inflate this company forever. There are certain limits for that. But I will definitely be able to grab 3-5 Mayor positions in the first elections. (provided I will get a couple of suitable candidates in the middle of elections)
Before the bonds I was able to get the first Mayor on third or fourth election. So bonds system is currently overpowered.

grrrr. I only finally managed to win my first three elections and get into deep debt because of it and there's already another version ))))
But bond and taxes fixes are a fair reason for a new start.

6.0.09 Impression number zero, before I even started an actual game. Real estate financial statement is awesome! But I don't see its taxes in this report.

The tax system for apartments and commercial buildings seem to be working fine in my testing - please see the attached screenshot.

Does your company have any "accumulated loss for future tax deduction" on its income statement?

On a separate note, just wondering what you think - do any of the following suggestions for new DLCs interest you?

As I said, it was before I actually started a game. Every time I run a new version I start an empty game to decrease music volume. That's where I saw it. A game with no DLCs and default settings. So it's great that my impression was a mistake. (but by the way maybe it is a bug in no-DLC game).

As for side notes, I m not a fan of 2 out of 3 ideas there.
Shopping mall is useless. It compacts space needed for retail stores but I still never actually run out of space in Cap Lab.
Mining... I don't see the value that it can add. Yes, Raw resources production is mostly a placeholder, but it is ok. We are building cities, not rural areas. Imagine a coal mine in downtown Manhattan.
Electricity. Interesting idea. But you should invent a more interesting meta-game for it than just "place a powerplant every 10 blocks to make a grid"
