So correct me if I am wrong, but consider the following: 3 players are left in a game each has 100% of the funds required to buy out another player each has some shares in each other. If one player (a) buys out another (b), then the 3rd player (c) will receive cash sufficient from the buyout to buy out player a and win the game. In this scenario first one to blink loses! THink the late game and buyout mechanism still needs so

As it stands you can pay off $50k debt and your stock price goes up 30c. I don't think it's relevant enough, bearing in mind I haven't tried CEO yet. Also. if someone buys you out that leads to snowball and one corporation gets access to all the claims wheras if you owned shares in the company that is bought out and you missed the buyout you only get a bit of cash. Whoever just clicks buyout gets too much benefit as they have more claims than anyone else,

Yes it's a huge production advantage when an opponent takes over another corporation. You just can't compete when they have twice the stuff. This comes back to there being the one victory condition. Just thinking out loud, but maybe if there was a resource population (that grows with food/life support/electronics and you can get additional claims as your pop grows to compete through vertical supremacy by organically growing a super power as an alternative to hostile takeov

Am I right in thinking that if you buy shares in another company at say $6.0 then if you want to sell them off there is a penalty and you only receive 70/80% of the value you paid? Sure if the share price goes up you can benefit over time, but I am not sure the logic of being penalised like that? It would be good if you can more actively trade shares in other companies.

Hey, also just working through the tutorials and enjoying things so far. I didnt want to create another thread on GUI so have put some further questions here: - Is it possible to spy/see the income of other corporations? - Also is there any way to see who sabotaged you? - Any log of other corporations trades on the market? Would be nice to see who is selling/buying what.
