I have finally gone past level 5 and now I am looking for the next leap when my earnings will take a quantum leap. all is going well, except that there is a little doubt that this game addresses as TENDERS. It is so tedious looking for a particular tender that will be suitable for me. and this limits the interest of me, and i think many others. And to add to the dilemma, from what i have seen require a trademark, and/or a sales volume of at least 1%, which makes the game highly skewed in favor of the older players and the players who can buy paid services. I do not grudge about the older players or players paying for some advanced services but at least game admin should provide the new and playing-for-free players some decent chances of winning too. The interface for the tenders leaves a lot to be desired as it does not give info related to one's company(s) and the objective, the language is sometimes too ambiguous and there is a problem as I don't know how to register as a couple of them relate to the cities i have my stores in.
what is the use of tenders if a substantial no. of players are prevented in participating in tenders. and these points(as far as i know) hold the key for purchasing of natural resource production: grain farms, orchards,mines etc.
If we can't win points, we can't purchase the orchards,mines etc. and if we can't purchase, we can't upgrade our animal farms grain supply,and supply-upgrade for our factories etc.
And if we can't purchase we end up as the losers in the long term, even against one who has come a little after us or may come 3-4 months later and uses paid service. It sounds like having a super rich dad and entering into a market competition with the full might of his dad's influence and resources vs a group of entrepreneurs working hard to set up a company on a shoestring capital. but even then in real life, the market decides who succeeds and not who has more funds or backing. I see however, nothing of that sort replicated in the game.
