Feature Suggestion: Historical 1914 Rulers & Foreign Investment System for Supremacy 1914

Dear Supremacy 1914 Development Team,

I am a dedicated long-time player of Supremacy 1914. The game's vintage WWI aesthetic, deep diplomatic mechanics, and slow-paced strategic gameplay make it the absolute masterpiece of Bytro Labs. To add even greater depth to diplomacy and economics without altering the core historical balance, I would like to propose two interconnected features:

1. Historical 1914 Rulers & Leaders System

Instead of generic avatars or modern fantasy heroes, introduce actual historical figures of 1914 (e.g., Kaiser Wilhelm II, Tsar Nicholas II, King George V, Emperor Franz Joseph) as playable nation heads.

National Traits: Each leader could grant a subtle, historical passive boost (e.g., slightly faster railway construction, minor infantry morale retention, or naval production efficiency).

Diplomatic Presence: Display the ruler's portrait in the Diplomacy tab during official correspondence to enrich the immersive WWI war-room atmosphere.

2. Foreign Investment & Economic Diplomacy

Allow players to invest resources or gold in another nation’s infrastructure (railways, factories, harbors, or fortresses).

Mutual Benefit: The host nation gets faster construction/resource scaling, while the investor receives a daily yield/percentage of the province's increased production.

Geopolitical Stakes: If a third party invades a nation where you have active investments, you have a direct economic stake to intervene or demand compensation, adding a powerful non-military lever for cold-war dynamics.

Integrating economic leverage alongside historical figures would elevate Supremacy 1914 into an unprecedented historical grand-strategy experience.

Thank you for your continued hard work on the game!
