I think this game would benefit from goals. For instance you start in village A with your lemonade stand and you can only upgrade to car wash,no further. Make a certain amount of money and you can relocate to town B where you can also get the pizza and the donut shop.. this way you can move to 4 -5 cities before you can upgrade to the oil company. Maybe give a time limt for reaching the amount needed to relocae? I think the game will last longer this way. Once you get to the wait for an hour bit the game is not much fun anymore.
Good Game, very addictive but it can be even better i think.
It's a bit of a shame that you only chase the ghost ship and when you get it the game is over. There could be sperate storylines setting mini-goals. For instance free a certain settlement or supply a cetain settlement with a set quantity of certain goods. Trading is ony used in thebeginning now, once you get a decent ship there is no need to trade. Taking stuff from other ship should have a conseqence, maybe you get raided back more, or loose contact with settlements that are angry at you.. just some loose ideas. The interface is sometimes not very clear, buying better ships.. took me a long time to discover the pull down system in that menu..it's a shame that you can't skip the opening tutorial story thingy and the battle system is easy to miss. I think a lot of people just use the standard quick shot and don't understand why sometimes they an not shoot at all. Still, a very good game, like it !
