Minimum Rates
The issue:
Okay, so we all know the economy is screwed up. It's impossible to make money from your companies, especially if you have to hire employees. You're basically playing at a loss, and the only way to level up is to fight which takes up at least half your wage; which is likely to be fairly minuscule.
The solution:
Introduce minimum rates for each commodity based on production cost (ie required salaries) and other factors, for example;
Let's set a hypothetical base rate for Q1 food at 2CC a unit, without any production cost.
Scenario 1:
>Citizen produces 500 units and wants to sell them on the marketplace.
The citizen wouldn't be able to sell them for less than 1.5CC a unit, but this would bring them a minimum of 750CC
Let's set a hypothetical base rate for a Q1 House at 30CC a unit, paying 1 required employee 50CC and a hypothetical production limit of 5.
Scenario 2:
>Citizen produces 5 Q1 houses and wants to sell them on the marketplace.
The citizen wouldn't be able to sell them for less than 200CC total or 40CC a unit, making a total of 150CC profit.
Whilst this is just an example, it shows that a minimum rate would encourage a rise in the value of products, wages and even gold because there would be minimum rates for each product, thus making companies more profitable. Really they should be, because right now companies are fairly pointless in terms of money making.
