REQUEST TO DEVS: COMRADE MODE

[hjkdsfkhjn]

Hi Devs,
would you please add comrade mode to your game, where you can create your own avatar and live a live of your fellow comrades?
Thanks,

But everyone dies within a few months! How would you procreate? Cloning wasn't a thing back then...I think.

I guess you like Tropico

1. That would be the problem, but I think that some kind of co-op, where one person is the builder and the second one is the comrade (avatar) might work. Or like in Simcity 4 in U-drive-it mode when time stops and everyone around you is just doing the movement animation.
2. I didn't necesarily mean cloning. Just one person that goes on with his/her life.

Also your comrade might help to do the republic's work, like work in the steel mill, go to the construction site and help building it etc. etc.

In Tropico, you live forever even when an assassin shoots you or a soldier shoots you. I don't think it matters much. It just doesn't really fit the game too well. I don't think they will add it, but it would be nice if modders had the ability to do it.

To update the status...I was thinking like having the "Comrade mode" where you could create your own "agent(s)" at the Secret police HQ and he/she/they would "disguise" as comrades working in factories and finding out about workers' needs; they could be partially moddifiable (choosing where would they work next time or which name would they have etc.) and at any time, you could always take control over them and walk/ride/fly/ride around your republic and do certain missions for a material/loyalty/sport/culture/health reward.

Oh course the SimCity 4's "U-Drive-It" mode wasn't perfect (I've personally spawned several times with my car immediately exploding because of the constantly appearing and dissapearing cars), and I see as well that implementing this into this game could also cause mayor problems

, but I think it would be a nice part of the "late game" where your cities are semi-automated and you have enough "free time" to do these kinds of missions (like delivering materials from point A to point B; stopping a fire; "going to work" etc.)

Now as I say, this is an absolute fantasy and I know you will probably never add this to the game. Just a suggestion.
