Mute/Lower sound volume when minimized Multiplayer Lobby Tooltips for clients (not just host) Header Columns in the Server Browser (is the new column ping?) Clearer map boundaries (hard to know where out of bound tiles start) Reveal winner's masquerade name upon game end
Soren mentioned during one of the twitch streams that Price Elasticity worked sort of like a spring: higher prices move faster than lower prices in response to buying/selling. Selling 100 Water might lower the price from $10 to $1, but buying 100 Water might raise the price from $100 to $120. You can take huge advantage of this as Scavenger or through Hacker Arrays if you aggressively buy into a resource before a short. Your buying will inflate the price, then the short will magnify y
Fuel consumed per trip to HQ when placing non-connected buildings would be awesome.
How about this? Buyouts take 5-10 seconds to process. (same as selling stock) If only one person clicks buyout, they get the company. All the Structures/Base, none of the Cash/Resources/Debt. Just like it works now. If multiple people click buyout, the buyout goes to auction. Players can bid normally, including purchase by debt. The proceeds of the auction are split according to % of stock owned. Example: A owns 90% of B. B is trading for $0.01. C swoop
I think we are saying the same thing. 1) You can buy the value of other companies for 10 cents on the dollar. (20 cents on the dollar during a buyout since your paying 2X) 2) Companies valued over 1m face a further dampening effect that increases their discount. STOCK_STEPS is 1,000,000 so: Total Value: 500,000 iNewValue: 5,000 Total Value: 1,000,000 iNewValue: 10,000 Total Value:
[quote who="Soren_Johnson" reply="10" id="3525501"]As for reply#4, I'm really baffled. I assume there is not a replay of that game? [/quote] Of course not. That would be too easy. From memory: 1) I bought 4-5 of his shares. 2) He bought the rest of his shares. 3) We were both around $20/share. 4) He bought himself out. I got ~450k payout and his cash-on-hand displayed as 9.3m for ~15 seconds. I don't think he ever act

Most helpful. There is some built in "market adjustment lag" to your Value/Share. The market needs time to "price in" large, recent changes to your value. Cool. This explains why your so vulnerable following a buyout - your stock price instantly loses the value of your +100% shares in your acquisition but the value of their Base/Structures takes time to be reflected in your stock price. Soren: Could you comment on the TruXPixels screenshots in Reply #4?
Something is definitely wrong. Last game I played, I bought about half of TruXPixels stock. When he bought his own stock back from me his stock price jumped from about $20/share to over $100/share in a matter of seconds. The game also temporarily calculated him somehow gaining over 9m cash in the transaction. Cash: http://i.imgur.com/eeYqGTf.jpg Graph: http://i.imgur.com/0Ddgth8.jpg
To clarify, I'm trying to calc Value /Share, not Price /Share. I get that Price/Share gets modified by difficulty, other stocks owned and % of remaining stock. Total Value seems to be: Base Value + Cash + Resources + Structures + Patents - (Debt * Debt Multiplier) But I can't figure out the conversion from Total Value -> Value/Share. It should be a simple division by 100k but more is going on. When you buy someon
Can anyone explain the calculation for Value per Share? Each company has 10 blocks of 1,000 shares for a total of 10,000 shares. The game seems to be dividing (in error?) by roughly 100,000 for Value/Share. Still, the calculation is off. From my current game: Player / Total Value / Value per Share / "Missing" Value P1 / 801,652 / 7.38 / 63,652 P2 / 549,836 / 5.50 / -164 P3 / 629,403 / 6.10 / 19,403 P4 / 538,164 / 5.37 / 1,164 T
Awesome game! It's surprisingly intense when someone starts buying your stock, you start buying theirs, and before you know it your in a corporate deathmatch that will have only one survivor. My overarching design feedback is to look for ways to make the game follow a less scripted path and more reliant on fast-paced strategy. It often feels like there are too many times your locked into your current path and are just "waiting for your steel to come in". The game
