I mentioned this in another post I made apologising but I feel this is so simple and will have such an impact that I don't want it to get bogged down by the rest of that post.

Quite simply - why not have an option in the game creation that toggles the AI as being in direct competition

All this would do is simply set atleast 1 of the AI as having the exact same product line as it's starting option.

Right now I feel like I am completely immune from challenge beyond my own logistics and economical juggling in the start of the game because there isn't a competing product.

Having an option for more advanced players to really kick in the challenge would seriously do alot for the longevity and replayability of this game for me personally and I am sure other more hardcore tycoon/management fans would appreciate this little addition to.

I suggested this because it is my belief based on the way the game works this would not require tremendous time and resources to implement and would give players like myself something to keep us quiet while more long term changes and/or commitments are made.

You guys are really onto something here. The balance of streamlined - complexity in comparison to say the Capitalism series is almost spot on ... I fully understand Multiplayer would be a big big commitment and that is fine but some tweaks and changes to the AI would really ramp up the bang for buck on this game.

My main concern right now is that without any serious challenge things are gonna get stale and repetitive fairly quick and that is just such a shame when all the foundation is here for something REALLY good.


Thank you.
