Random subsidiary, interest and subsidiary durration

Post by ThorRune »

In real word, the loan interest never would stay the same for a 100 years.
That should be random, and changing twice a year or so

Not all subsidiaries pay off as mutch in real life
That should be random, 1.5 to 4

Not all subsidiaries last a year.
Some for half a year, a month, 10 years, two...
Should be random

Agreed?

1-year fixed subsidies seem a better idea, though I agree that a random multiplier is a useful addition.

Of course, if you want to change the interest rate on the loan, you have to evaluate the economy to see which way the interest rates should go - they do not change randomly - so I wouldn't hold my breath here.

Not a random in reality but they don't stay the same. The interest the bank sets by themselfe, kind of. It goes down and up, and you have nothing to say WITH!!!!! it.

... based on an evaluation of how the economy is doing. They don't set it randomly or arbitrarily. e.g. If most industries have cut their production, a reduction in interest rates might help get the economy back on track, similarly during the "world recession". If business is booming, interest rates go up to keep growth under control.
