Interest rates and Wallclock speed
Posted: 27 Apr 2024 10:58
Afternoon fellow Transporters,
I'm having a blast with 14.0. Having a 200 year scenario based on The Netherlands as my go-to epic sandbox, I really liked the implementation of both the new pathfinder for ships and the wallclock time.
As a first playthrough I'm trying an hour-a-year setting. So far some 10 hours in, approaching 1860....
Yet one thing I start noticing now. While economic activity is doing fine, I'm currently paying over 500k interest on my loan. Each PERIOD, rather then each year.
This might be an unintended escape or a deliberate design for balance's sake. However in this situation it's putting quite the strain on my early game (which is intentionally liberal in loans since the average turnaround is quite low).
Question: can I tune this towards a lower percentage (then my current effective 10% per annum)? And how?
