That's because you don't understand game design. We decided to make each province a single terrian so that you as the player could clearly see exactly which terrian would be in each province. The net result is something like this. This is a case were game design outcomes effect asthetics. Such is the way of things.

The Projects screen looks really promising!:)

I think I read that Capitalists won't be able to invest in projects in other nations, but by that screen and my ignorant opinion the mechanics to do so seem to be in place...

Ooh... nice. I like the projects screenie. Looks like building RRs and factories will not be as quick and easy as it was in Revolutions. And look at how many artisans there are voting in the UK!

A nation of shop-keepers someone once said apparently...

Umm, what refers to that?

The projects screen looks interesting.

Am I reading it right? Capitalists can at any time choose to start a new investment, after which they will put money into it over time until it's done (i.e. the materials cost has been paid).

I know these are just beta screens and might not reflect the final product, but is there any check in place to prevent them from starting loads and loads of projects that will never be finished (rather than concentrate on a few)? I'm just looking at the 5 guys in the screenshot who decided to build the steamer shipyard. Unless those five guys are outrageously rich, it'll take them ages to get the dang thing built unless other investors join in.

I think the "British" refers to the ethnicity of the investing POP rather than to which country it lives in.

I guess that other investors will join them after they have completed their own projects. Of course, that would still allow thousand capitalists to start thousand projects.

Yeah I uploaded the wrong one at first.:)

I mean that say, a British Capitalist (a Capitalist living in the British Empire that is, even if its ethnicity is actually Punjabi or whatever) could invest in a Railroad project in Japan for instance.

Probably the economic climate dictates how invest-happy the Capis get, bless em.
