Some questions about the game

Post by Niduin »

Hi there,

i have some questions about this game and maybe some suggestions:
  • How much space has to be between the same type of shop in the same city so that the shops don't "steal" each other's customers?
  • The overall evaluation of the products is based on the 3 criteria of quality, price and brand. Would it be possible that the weighting of the 3 factors is displayed as a kind of tooltip in the supplier selection? it's annoying to look in the "product guide" every time ;-)
  • Is it possible that the supplier selection does not show the brand of the product? in any case only the price, quality and overall rating is shown, but not the brand, if it exists. Is there any way to add this there - maybe by an update?
  • I built a furniture factory that produces beds. I had set the sale to "internal sale", so that only my shops should be supplied. Nevertheless the AI was able to buy the goods from the factory? is this a bug?
  • Is there a Zoom function for the mionimap? Its sometime hard to see some colors
  • What is the difference of all the appartment building? Different capacity ? It would be nice to see this in the buildings menu before i build one.
Thanks for helping.

Best regards

I believe that there is no hard coded minimum distance. The "steal customers" effect is just inversely proportional to the distance.
The overall evaluation of the products is based on the 3 criteria of quality, price and brand. Would it be possible that the weighting of the 3 factors is displayed as a kind of tooltip in the supplier selection? it's annoying to look in the "product guide" every time ;-)
I will forward your suggestion to the dev team.

It shows the brand of a consumer product. But for a non-consumer product (semi product or raw material), there is no brand.

There is a small time window that the AI initiates the purchase from you before you set the Internal Sale to Off. The solution would be to set the default Internal Sale to Off from the option menu (hotkey: "O").

There isn't one currently. But you may vote at http://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewto ... =14&t=7197
