Hello , i hope everything is fine at dev studio:)

and please dont rule it out before you read it , iv been playing..this style of games for decades and while i love this game (soviet republic) for many reasons , 1 thing been bothering me , and that is replayability , while maps are amazing...considering how game is structured , start more or less looks the same , mostly becouse lack of technology and starting conditions make players build look kinda the same....and for a while i was thinking about how i could solve this problem.

till i replayed game i almost forgot exist and that is surviving mars by paradox , and they not only solved that problem...but solved it in such way i think would be very fitting and great expansion to the game

How paradox had it in their game is that you chose "country" for your mars mission but also leader (you) who can not only chage how early game is , but completly change how you progress the game (got few screenshots but i encourage to try it yourself)

How would that work in soviet republic? well picking leader , and maybe "career background" , mining menager or baron could for instance unlock basic ining and prospecting technlogogy who could potentialy be vialable to start mining erlier , or even export ore like uranium , etc etc

becouse as much as i like this game maps...dont really change how you play the game

having few starting techs? maybe bonuses to export to some industries depening on starting picks , maybe exports or imports to certain countries are cheeper , extra starting money or even "bigger effect of propaganda" , i mean anything could be done here

and i personaly think it would expand the game....yes it could potentialy make some achivements easier...but i personaly think replayability would be more important

Tropico also had diffrent but a bit similar system who would "even levelup between your playsessions" but idk if that would fit with spirit of this game
