This could be awesome, look at Offworld Trading Company, their share system would work perfectly as an extension of this, it'd be so much fun XD

great

what actually would be a great mod would be a way to buy shares of sponsors to gain a fraction of their energy cost.
Since you have to remember that these sponsors act more like corporations than actual nations

The whole mod isn't that serious, as obviously you can't just "buy" other cities and then they're yours, so I think that bit of meta is fitting. ;)

You can of course change it manually if you prefer a more serious message. The file to do that can be found in:

Text_CapitalistUI.xml can be opened with any text editor -> search for TXT_KEY_RYIKA_CAPCON_UI_CIV_OUT_OF_STOCK and edit the text in the the <Text>-Tag below, but make sure you leave the tags as they are.

I don't like how it says to, "Check back next game." Kinda breaks the immersion, don't you think? Just a small thing that bugs me, but otherwise looks great. I like the concept.

OY GEVALT
Thanks goy, just what i was looking for
*hand rubbing intensifies*

*Anti-Imperialism intensifies*

This has to be one of the best mods of all time

Ooh, reminds me of the economic victory from Alpha Centauri (although that was actually more reminiscent of most Cive:BE victories, in that it had a timer during which everybody hates you before the takeover is complete). I like having more options that way.

Can you do a share system like in "offworld trading company" game ?

For instance, I would buy some of my shares to secure my capital from buyout, then sell them to get extra cash to buy shares of a concurrent. More shares I have, the more it will cost to buy me, but if I'm not among the current winners, It could also be wasted money.

A financial system based on victory ratings would be cool too. For instance, If someone else is winning, its share values go up fast, and buying some will be a good investment (but also protecting him from buyout).

If Sponsors go into war or imbargo, prices will go down. So it could be a good idea to sell before a incoming war, and if someone sells his shares, then you know that he might plan something.

It would also be good to trade theses "shares" against something between human players.

Sorry for the bad english.

What I do is make them extremely weak due to war, force them to expand and trade energy for their cities to give them a false sense of hope, before taking their capital. Little capitalism required. No mod required.

This guy's been playing to much mass effect (and is also a weeb.)

I like this mod. Great work.

Thankyou for the mod; money does talk, it does not have to be a hostile takeover. The seller might see this as a better option than a violent end, mayby the Starships are still in orbit and they would accept leaving this world over death.

Might be the most random thing anyone has ever spent around 20 hours of work on.
