Somes suggestions about the Tycoon mode

[rayan210]

Hey all, i have somes suggestions to make about the Tycoon mode

My first idea is a "real life" mode, i mean from 1940 to 2013, somes events take place, like the energetic crisis of the 70's and the arrival of the japanease cars in USA, or the economic crisis of 2008, and my idea is to play this events in the tycoon mode, at the sames dates, but it could be just an option

Another idea is to buy somes companies in diffculty or merge with others companies, it could be good for the Tycoon aspect

My last idea is to change the color of the logo in the car designer, for exemple, white-metallic for the mainstream division, red for the sport division, blue for the electric division (like the Renault Zoe)

What do you think ?

if this happens it really needs to be a toggle-able option..

playing 10 campaigns through and having the energy crisis and gas price boom of the 2000's show up on the same date every single time will be annoying as balls in the long run.

would be much more interesting to have a pool of X number of events, good and bad and then throw them at the player at random intervals..

We will probably offer a historic campaign, and a world randomizer with various options.
In the long term what I would like to see is a dynamic world market that naturally goes into booms and recessions, without the random event nonsense that's so much easier to do unfortunately hehe

Random Events would make more sense, it would, depending on how you guys set it up, probably be modable... .. would be kinda cool to have community generated events..

Edit: typos

I would not want to have hard coded events. Once you master those you'll always survive from the events.

Actual simulation with randomized start values would be the way to go. Although you can get quite close to "simulation" with events if they are enough randomized and have a lot of variations.

Either way I'll be happy and it would be nice to have historic campaing close to real life "events" and timeline. But what is stupid of those is that once you know what will happen and when you can prepare your models and gain advantage over your computer competitors...

Obviously, when i speak about a "Real Life" or "Historic" mode, it is an option in Tycoon mode, evidently random events are better
