Hi everyone,

This may be a "future thing" since I suppose it would be a quite heavy feature to develop.
To give the game even more features to make money, I believe that stocks could be a nice extra thing for the game.

I had an idea this morning, that allows players to invest their money in stocks.

I suppose you could have a few companies off the start, and will swing back and forth. These could be affected by the size of cities, or the factors below.

Mechanics for Stocks Moving Over Time could be:

Base Trend = gradual up/down based on reputation or performance
Event Modifier = major game events (wars, arrests, expansions)
Player Action Modifier = intentional actions by player
Random Noise = small fluctuation for realism

To make it intuitive, you can show:

News Ticker (Game headlines driving stock moves)
Trend Graph (last 7 days)
Event Icons (Police, War, Expansion)

I need some feedback from other players too, as I suppose multiple of you will have some great ideas too.

This would be really cool, and a massive feature for the game. I like it!
