i think the frequency of hires should be moved up by two hours. It would add another specialist or two per player each game. More specialists=more fun.

want more specialist ?

[Edited out. As you said elsewhere, this isn't honest play. It is/was (don't know if it's fixed at this moment) a bug, discussed in the bug reports forum section, and exploiting this shouldn't be encouraged..]

I disagree. They are spaced far enough apart to make you strategic about what you hire and when, but you still get a new one each day.

I would love to see specialist hiring frequency be a game variable we could change. Could make for some interesting games.

Actually, that could be a cool game mode; only 3 specialists for the whole game, but you can hire them all at the beginning.

And yeah, I do feel like I'd like the specialists to come along more often, but then, perhaps having to wait is what makes them so special....

I don't think 3 for the whole game is really all that suitable. It makes the games a bit boring don't you think?
But I think it would be better if you could change the length of time between specialist hires. I want to see a game where you can hire 1 every 4 hours!

Oh, that's good, then you can make tougher games with fewer, or chaotic games with too many.

But yeah, 3 is probably too few. All the best stuff happens because of the specialists.

Keep in mind I'm not suggesting a drastic change. Just a few hours shorter of a cooldown for hiring.
