From the start of Simcountry we had many comments and complaints about the complexity of the game and were repeatedly confronted with beginners difficulties.
The next major feature in Simcountry will be a system that will enable us to start producing meaningful reports that will provide players with specific hints and advise to improve their countries.
The system will gain value from the capability to examine multiple parameters and values of entities and base it comments on this knowledge.
Many many rules will have to be defined to create specific advise that is closely linked with current conditions in the countries.
The process will be gradual and will be refined in time.
Once the feature is implemented, we will start an initial setup that is already implemented or will be implemented in the coming weeks.
From there, we will, frequently, add more knowledge and more advise and update the system, resulting in more meaningful comments and hints.
Additions will not require full upgrades.
they will be added to the existing set of rules and will be used immediately.
At a later phase, subsets of the system will be installed, linked to specific pages and will provide hits when used on these pages.
we hope to be able to advise beginners in a much better way but also provide essential information to experience4d players, alerting them to problems and reducing the need to check many pages and discover problems.
We are guided by our own experiences but expect that many rules and hints will be based on comments by players and issues that are discussed on the forum. |

when do you hope to implement these changes by? |

We hope to implement the software by the end of January or the beginning of February.
Then start introducing knowledge into it.
this will be a gradual process that will continue for a long time. |

wow that sounds amazing, good work |

The software is being implemented.
the big issue is the creation of the detailed "rules" that will guide the process.
that collection of rules will be small to start with and will be
extended frequently to cover many functions. |

I see the country report is out. The thousands seperator was added very quickly too.
I'm just a bit puzzeled by this:
Quote:Profit
The Profit/Loss number for your country is currently 500,781,988,752
Your country makes a very good profit. It is however possible to increase profits to much higher levels if employment is very high and with a high population level.
Does this take population in consideration? At which level does it say "You're a business Tycoon!" |

Laguna,
It is an initial version.
we are testing it on KB.
more info will follow later today. |

The message about the profit is incorrect and will be fixed today. |
