The new design



Dear players,
Because many of your suggestions are related to project’s design and structure, we’ve decided to present you how the main page ProEco will look like. We’ve already managed to implement some of your ideas. For example, in the new design the companies will be displayed differently, so that you could see which company is working and which not. We’ve also took into account your suggestions regarding personal status, direct links to certain apps, and others.
We intend to change the main page till the 20th of July, and later we’ll change the other pages/apps too. We hope that after implementing the new design, ProEco will not only look better, but it will work better too, and will be easier to use. Hope you’ll like it! ;)

Feedback Panel



We’ve launched the Feedback Panel - an application that comes to improve the communication between game developers and users, because we want to create and develop ProEconomica together, as a team.
The panel is divided into 3 sections: Suggestions, Problems and Questions.
In each of these sections you have the opportunity to post an idea / problem / question. You can vote For or Against an idea, and you can add comments.
In the Suggestions section we want you to come up with ideas for apps and some tips on how to improve the project. Note that you have a limited number of characters to present your idea, so it would be good to follow the principle "one suggestion - one idea", that means you have to be clear and concise. Once you’ve come up with a suggestion - you can lobby it on the chat ;) – in this way you’ll have the opportunity to receive more votes, increasing the chances of implementing your idea. We will carefully consider all your suggestions.
Likewise, you must also use the Problems section - where you have the opportunity to report the errors that occur. According to the number of votes, we will plan what problem should be solved first.
The third section is called - Questions. Here you can write a question that will be answered by the Consultant or by other players. Thus, over time, this section will contain a series of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) where you’ll be able to easily find the desired answer.
To avoid overloading the application, please do not repeat ideas that were already expressed by other players.
Now you're probably wondering what the announcements on chat will be used for? Well, the chat is useful for communication and interaction, for promotional announcements and for detailed discussion of ideas, but when it comes to precise proposals or issues it would be appropriate to place them here, on this panel, and we'll be able to see all of them without the risk of losing them somewhere in the history of chat messages.
We encourage you to be as active as possible, and hope to receive as good feedback from you! ;)

World Business - Weekly Edition



Hello, dear players. We’ve launched "Weekly Edition" - a small page (a kind of virtual newspaper) where we’ll include the most important news, interesting aspects of the game, and what we plan to implement. This virtual publication will appear on Tuesdays, and with each week we’ll add a more consistent content. Here you’ll find the weekly offers and suggestions, newly launched applications, interesting statistics, and others.
In addition, for maximum transparency, in every week we will mention what we are working on.
 
This Weekly Edition was created for you, and we want it to be interesting and useful, that’s why we are waiting for your suggestions and proposals. You may write them to the Consultant or send them via email on proeconomicamd@gmail.com.
 
Be informed with World Business ;)

Some details about the City



Dear players,
below we present some details about the City. 


The main goal of the city is to provide virtual employees. From now, we won’t add virtuals as before.  They must be „created” by developing three types of buildings: simple houses, villas and apartment buildings. In addition to virtual employees, the City offers some other benefits, like characteristics: happiness, culture, productivity, efficiency, prestige. By developing these characteristics you have the opportunity to win in Spying and to gain higher earnings.  

In order to develop buildings, you have to take into account three things:
1. There must be (or you have to build) a road that reaches the building.
2. For each level raised you need 100 ecologic points that can be achieved when planting trees, building pools and other utilities that will make the city being a pleasant place for its inhabitants.
3. Money is needed in the city budget. The budget consists of the taxes collected from companies and activities, and also from players’ donations.  If the city has no mayor, each citizen is able to allocate money from the budget.

Each level raised to a building provides assets that will allow to make a ranking of the cities and to award those positioned on the first places in the top. In addition, it is shown the city’s position in the ranking of a certain country.

For convenience, in the left part is shown how much Money and Gold has the player.
Important! After a period of time, when there will appear more buildings that offer characteristics, some changes will be made to Missions.  Thus, each level of missions will require a point from a certain characteristic (happiness, culture, etc.). This change will be made in time, to allow players to develop these buildings.

Changes in JSC



ProEco Team has changed some aspects related to Joint Stock Companies (JSC). Now the management of these companies became more comfortable, and there will be no blockages in electing the General Director.
Here is what solutions were implemented:
1. The player who owns 51% of JSC stocks will automatically become General Director. He also has the possibility to offer this position to another player.
2. If there are 2 or 3 players who own a JSC, the Director becomes the one who has the majority of stocks in that JSC. He also has the right to appoint another player in this position.
3. If only one person has been proposed for the function of General Director, after 48 hours he or she will automatically become General Director.
4. If there were no candidates proposed: after 48 hours 3 people will be randomly chosen from the stockholders for voting.
5. If more players get the same number of votes, Director becomes the one with the biggest number of stocks. If two candidates have the same number of stocks, Director becomes the one who firstly bought the stocks in that JSC.

The following changes to JSC that are to be made: JSC stock sales on the market and a chat between stockholders.
