Summary0016868: Office buildings (possibly replacing banks)
DescriptionMy girlfriend used to be a city planner. I asked her 'where do you put banks?' and she said 'in the lobbies of office buildings'. Then I realized that SBR has no office buildings (that I've seen yet, haven't finished the tech tree).

I was going to suggest converting the existing Bank building to an office building, but that isn't quite right. Banks are low-staffing, high-crowns. Office buildings seem like they should employ tons of people. I mean, that's kind of their point, to be high-density workplaces. They're not going to entertain anyone, like a shopping mall, but they will be full of people generating profits.

1 their are office buildings the linguistic buildings 2 that makes séance thematically but mechanically it sounds to me like that would make shopping malls quite a bit obsolete so for that reason I don't like the idea of banks giving high employment.

I'm not sure how the SBR economy works. But I think it doesn't really need office buildings.

My thoughts on the banks is that they are actually a giant scam used to motivate your citizens to work. You make a bank. Citizens think they should invest Crowns into their bank accounts, so they start working in other jobs to put crowns into the bank. And that's how the bank provides income.

Personally I really like the idea of it, and with all the incoming industrial stuff there needs to be a slight bit more balance on the commercial side. So here we are.
