Love the graphs, atmosphere and the music. I love the industry era and the game feels very historical. However, I find the game a bit unbalanced. Initially I struggled a lot because I could buy licences but I couldn't send things to my capital to sell it. Later i realized I have to borrow money to research and build the railways. In other strategy games I played, taking loan usually is not a necessary thing unless you are trying to expand very fast in the early game but this game makes it a requirement due to the lack to money to start. You can't do anything without railway tech and a railway built. After restarting a few times the game just give up and give me gold and silver next to my starting city which was a nice touch to help the player :) I guess some tuning would make the game a lot easier to get into! Also I found that the research tab cannot be closed in the WebGL version with 16:9 resolution because the close button is invisible for some reason. I had to download the game to play it at the end."},{"author_name":"Capitals","author_uid":"28209","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 2:27pm","epoch":1472566920,"text":"Right, I don't know what happened. Looks great, I really would like to play this. However on the web link the research window can't be exited on 1280x720.

It took a while to realise I could borrow money, that could have been in the tutorial pop ups. Speaking of which, it felt like a lot of reading to do at once, progressive pop ups (as you click on a city, the research panel, etc) would have been nicer imo.\rAfter a short while, I wished for 'send all' and 'sell all' buttons because I'm lazy that way, but overall really enjoyed your game. Great job :)"},{"author_name":"holgk","author_uid":"32032","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 11:13am","epoch":1472641680,"text":"Thank you nanimono.
