Crowd Funding Changes
« on: November 20, 2021, 06:19:29 AM »
Hello,

A parallel thread gave me this idea.  Perhaps have AH post a vote for 4-5 changes (as they did many times in the past).  We vote on which new change\addition we want to do.  Then crowd fund (kickstart etc.) it to make it happen.

As you all know in many\most new games these days you get perks and\or mods if you pay for them.

Just a thought.


Have a nice day,

I would contribute to:

- Finish the Tempest fund

- Create new seasonal map tiles (autumn & early spring with partial snow cover remaining) and new, smaller maps based on real-world locations.   Also I think the terrains would look more realistic if the rocks were much less shiny.

- Revamp of the transportation system.   More trains, marshaling yarsd in cities and ports, freighters which deliver supplies to ports, which are unloaded with cranes and loaded onto train cars.   Trains run to large & medium field towns, truck convoys run from these towns to the towns at small airfields.   Railroad tunnels through mountains, and realistic-looking trestle bridges which trains and trucks actually cross.

Rarely do wishes in this forum get traction.  Thanks for all the responses.  :aok

The ball is in your court HiTech.  Please post a poll of 4-6 new features that you are willing to implement.  Maybe let it run for a week or two.  Then post the results and we'll take it from there.

Thank you.  :salute

Sorry but I personally dont expect anything else new anymore unless more subs come and more money comes in the game.........

I take that as a no.  You don't work for Hitech.

None of us know what Hitech will do.  I just might call them though and find out from the source.

Excellent idea!   Just ask him if he's busy at the moment, or has a few minutes to answer your questions 😉

Wouldn't it be better for the players who pool their money in a crowd funding venture to be the buyers of the game?  Then, they can make all their dreams come true,

From over 8 plus years ago, the price was around 5 million dollars.
