[MOD]Real and more banks for CiM beta

Hi folks! i have spent about an hour making some, i say, cool little things for CiM beta. Why not the demo you say? well because it only has the tutorial in it.

This little mod will change all your banks for sandbox Vienna with real ones and also for the Tutorial Scenario and/or sandbox which, to my surprise, it is set in England. you have also the option of increasing the maximum number of banks available from 4 to 6

Bank logos included:
Vienna:
- Bank of Austria
- Erste - Sparkasse Group
- Raiffeisen Bank
- Volksbank

UK
- Lloyds
- Barclays
- HSBC
- Royal bank of Scotland

Common International ones
- ING
- Citibank
- ABN-AMRO

Instructions are in the readme.txt in the archive.

Now the images are not the best as i just took them from google so if any1 has some photoshop skills and wants to make them more eye candy please do and share.
Comments and suggestions are welcomed

Great idea - but you can easily get better images by searching for "HSBC logo" or "royal bank of scotland logo" (or even "rbs logo").

A more challenging question: are there any banks/logos that are equally appropriate in 1920 as 2020?

Would love to help you with that, at least for Helsinki -- as no other Scandinavian cities are featured in the game. One of the problems as I see it is the fact that names/brands of banks [at least in Finland] have been changing wildly already during the last 20 years...

 

[stevebone]

am not sure that we can have different banks over the years... so take the more recent ones nice of you to help

Hmm...
Some names for current ones:
Sampo Pankki (part of the Danske Bank group)
Osuuspankki
Nordea
Aktia
Säästöpankki
Handelsbanken (in reality a Swedish bank but with branches in Finland, I suppose)

From the past decades...
Leonia (now Sampo)
Postipankki (afterwards Leonia)
Merita-Nordbanken (now Nordea)
Säästöpankki (only similar to the one now in name)
Yhdyspankki
STS-pankki


Edit: Ah, didn't realise there would be information on Wikipedia ALSO on this subject... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banks_in_Finland#Defunct_banks

Your mod is not working anymore. I don't know why, but it was working perfectly and now it doesn't work. The new bank doesn't appear in the list anymore.
How can I check where is the problem?

Don't forget Wachovia, Bank of America, Citigroup, and AIG.

What's that you say? They ALL folded? Goodness gracious.

This mod is for the beta version, I think that some file locations were changed in the final version of the game.

You should probably move this to the MOD forum. Just saying.
