I've got a suggestion to make!

What if we add the option to banks to send payments from one bank to other? If i have 2.500.000 M to a bank and i want to store them in an other, i must spend 3 turns to withdraw and 3 turns to deposit. If a friend of mine want to send me some cash and he has his money on "Bank of Captain Dungeness" but i keep my money on "Morgan and Bartholomew Trust Co." i need again 6 turns instead of 0 to store the money to my bank. Both Banks get fees from the transaction.

This option could save like an hour for players and would make our lives easier..

Maybe we could also add the option to bankers to move our whole Bank Accounts to another bank. Let's say, Captain Dungeness placed 20 M on my account when his bank has 10 M limit. He can transfer the whole 20 M to an other bank, even though the new bank has 2.5 M limit. Of course that could happen after the client request it, and ofcourse the bank will keep some fees for the transaction.

These 2 options could role the Gold in Avonmora and give more interest to Bankers.

p.s. Sorry for my R.I.P. English :D

I don't think it's possible at the moment.

The main problem as I see it,is the turns cost involved. This can be nullified in the future though, once we allow transactions to cost a single turn, for level 20 banks. Which means that the turn cost needs to be resolved by the players and not the devs.

The reason is that this right now constitutes a strategic option, in which Bank Levels and turns are involved. This make it a quite considerable option, such considerable that Bankers will want to spend millions just to reduce the turn cost and make their banks more appealing.

Finally, there is the implementation time involved; implementing this ability will require at least 1 full day of development which is about the half of the time we need to create Skirmish (if you wonder how can this be true, I will tell you that game maintenance utilizes up to 70% of our daily time, on average, if not more).

Therefore I must disapprove this suggestion.
