I really enjoy Offworld Trading company but I wish that more charts and tables where availabe during the games. As a business economists, I found the lack of information daunting for a companies with such rapid expansion and production power.
It feels you are the only executives working there without a team. I don't particularly enjoy looking around the map and counting the number of farms an enemy players have. If I was a CEO I would have my underling do that for me and give me a nice report that get updated on a regular basis (preferably in real time) with nice charts and tables.
Hence, it would be nice to have a table that summarize all the key informations about myself, other companies and the colonies such as their production/consumption level, number of factories and mining, and etc.
I would also like to have a good chart tools to follows stock and product prices over time; the little grey spark charts under the prices are too hard to read and sometime too short to be able to figure out long-term trends.
Such addition would made the games significantly easier to play and learn. Indeed, trying to figure out what each of the small similarly looking building do at a glance is quite daunting and as a beginner make push the pause button a lots when playing against the AI just to wrap my head around what they are doing.
