Hi Guys/Gals, Just a quick idea. If you have purchased a percentage of a company, shouldn't your company receive some sort of dividend at the end of each fin. year? I know, probably impossible to implement, but still would be nice. Steve

But the AIs could decide not to issue dividends if (when) they made losses.... Chris

Hi! I ran a session of TTD for a couple of days without touching it, so no transport network, no trains, no trucks. However, when the system started each new company, I bought 75% and by the end of the game I was worth hundreds and hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars. But, because I didn't have a transport network, I was dead last at the end even though my dollar value was enourmous!?! So, if he system companies paid a dividend like you suggested, then your player would actually have some money and income instead of paper value regardless of transport network!?!
