I'll leave this thread open as I should put checks and limits when using the quick mod buttons and the modify all buttons etc.
This sadly won't make 1.11, It might make 1.12
Hm, that's interesting to hear.
I started taking the current top advertisers in my country (Australia) then adjusting their budgets for inflation just to get a comparison.
The cheap internet inflation calculator im using suggests that its about 100x less, so around 0.5-2mil per year in 1900 dollars.
By comparison that figure is around 20mil per year in 1908 in the game that screenshot shows.
I think ive gone far far over the top
The reason i though it was working was:
I was giving each section equal money then using the "Increase marketing budgets" button (or whatever its name is) in the mega menu.
I noticed an increase in sales after each time, but i think the only ones which were actually increasing and not maxed were sports and miscellaneous.
Lesson learned i suppose.
