So, one of the suggestions in the other thread was to increase the
amount of interest you get from banking. This would encourage players to
begin using the banks more again and start collecting early.
I took this idea, and yes (for now, subject to change) increased the
percentages, but that's not all! I'm introducing a new element to this
process. Typically how it works, syndicate members send all the money
they collect to one person who they previously deemed the banker. The
banker builds no defense, and his buddies do most of the work keeping
him maxed. This new element will now require some more work from the
banker!
As of now the most used bank is the Caribbean...it's got the highest
interest so it makes sense. I'd like to get the other banks used as
well. So now, every four hours & 5 minutes the interest rates will
change randomly between a range of 0.5% - 5%(again, subject to change).
So while the Caribbean may start out as the highest, in four hours
Zurich may be the highest. So to effectively get the most out of the
interest, the banker will need to keep up with the changes and transfer
money accordingly.
Why every four hours & 5 minutes? Well we've also changed Interest
being given out to every 2 hours (subject to change), and we don't want
the two scripts running at the same time. So there is a 5 minute gap for
the interest change.
Wait there's more! There will now be timers on the bank page which
countdown to the next interest change & when interest is given.
