Tycoon Mode - Horsepower Tax and Regulations?
Hello
Just got the game the other day and am really enjoying the engine and car design so far - though I will admit, I'm much more interested in the Tycoon aspect of it, and how the design and Tycoon will blend together in the final product.
Now, as I understand it, we will be able to create companies in just about any country we want, and presumably they will have different markets, which would affect labor costs, material costs, and of course the market itself for any vehicles you locally produce. Now, one thing I wonder is, in some countries (espeically Europe just before and after WW2, but even today) there was a notion of the taxed horsepower, wherein based upon bore diameter, stroke length, and a few other details, a fee was often levied at the time of purchase and later on as a sort of luxury tax for the owners. Will this be factored in for the Tycoon mode in certain countries?
And perhaps more generally, will special regulations in the same vein of the horsepower tax exist in other markets as well, perhaps along the lines of vehicle size, HP or mileage regulations, reliability standards, etc etc as things become more evolved?
A search for this sort of thing turned up nothing, hence the question.
