Yes, i also would like bonds to be added to the game.

Our dev team gauge the interest level of the community on the various DLC ideas by looking at the poll results of this post: http://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewto ... =49&t=4166

By voting on the poll the DLC you like, you will effectively increase the chance of it getting developed.

Bonds would be a great addition in being able to fundraise (rate would depend on credit rating) but equally being able to buy bonds of competitor companies.

With the Banking and Financial DLC consistently being the most voted DLC in the poll, our dev team has started working on the game design for the DLC.

If everything goes well, I should be able post the first update from the dev team about the preliminary design of this DLC in the coming couple weeks.

Great news - would you also consider variable raw commodity prices at the same time ? Hedging should be part of any sensible financial strategy as well as being a potential great addition to gameplay.
