Hi Eric,
I am just playing my first game and I have to say that you have done a fantastic job so far! I am really amazed that you're the making the game for that I have been waiting for about 15 years! Thanks for that!
As I am a fan of real names in a game, I have tried to get to Know all the Ai players real names. I could identify abot 30 per cent of the 200 AI. Some are kind easy to name (AD Cars, Bienz and sea). But I think it is great that it is possible to modify al lot of things in the game. I have allready made a list of real companys (about 250) that I would like to see in my games. It's clear that you won't be able to use real names because of license issues. But as I'm not the best at "software issues", I could not get some new cities that I think are missing in the game.
Some things catched my eye during my first play, soI have also some small suggestions (some from a European view):
1) It would be great, I've you could found own marques. This is what always happend in the business. Best example: Toyota founded Lexus and Scion to have a luxury brand or to have a brand for the US.
2) I think some cities in the year 1900 do not have the right size (for example cities in Australia)
3) I also think that some "car cities" in Europe are missing in 1900 or 1930: Gothenburg (Sweden), Coventry, Bristol (England), Torino (Italy), Hannover (Germany, in the Hannover area are Volkswagen, Hanomag), Bremen (Germany, Borgward, Lloyd, later Mercedes). But also some import cities are not there: Breslau, Danzig, Koenigsberg (1900 Germany - later Poland/Russia). I think there could be some more cities in Cental Europe. I don't know if cities like Andorra or San Marino are necessary.
4) an editor or some detailed infos about editoring (Computer players, cities) would be great (I think you mentioned somewhere that there will be some infos)
5) As I am also a fan of "what if" scenarios, a "sandbox" mode would be great: Play scenarios without war of without chancing borders or iron curtain in Europe.
6) A small issue: I think the numbers of gears, that can be choosen while building a gearbox in 1900 a too high (8!). The number of possible gears should get higher in later years.
So, these are me first suggestions. But once again, a really great game allready in beta modus!
