Feedback: Corporations

[rsab]

Wow, thanks Xyth, I really appreciate your answer. Now I understand much better..

The other effect of owning shares is that the more you own, the more likely a corporation is to choose one of your cities to expand to. But in the case of Syndicates, the more shares you own, the more likely they are to leave your cities alone.

You have to have to have the headquarters, but because you're given a 25% share in the Syndicate, it's 25% less likely that it'll spread to your other cities.

I've missed that point: the relation between shares and expansion. Now it makes sense to me.

If you're one of the leading civilizations in the game, you most probably don't want to found a Syndicate. You'll have large cities with lots of resources, so you'll be a prime target. Syndicates are primarily designed as a way to slow the progress of powerful civilizations a bit, and to make it harder for them to hog all the corporations for themselves.

It sounds very interesting.

They can't in beta4, but in the release version Syndicate Agents are invisible like spies and can enter rival territory.

Ok. So it's a feature in progress.

I think I found a problem where the AI and the corporations are able to sell more shares than they have. Here's the save file and a screenshot. I'm on Windows also.

Hmm, something has certainly gone wrong there. I'm away on holiday till the end of the month, will investigate when I return.
