 Tough game and not for the faint-of-the-heart, 2008-12-11
It took me a while to learn the intricacies of Capitalism Plus because there was so much to know. Although I've played strategy games that are complicated in nature, none of them rival Capitalism Plus by the slightest margin. I've worked my philosophy out in terms of beating the game after much of trials and errors. I'll say, Capitalism Plus is probably the best business simulation game made, and I doubt there will be a better one except for the next version. So, if you want to take on Capitalism Plus, expect a lot of frustration, and it will be worth it in the long run. But the problem is, when it becomes worth it, is the game a lot of fun playing? I don't think so because there is a lot of checks and balances since I have to monitor every department store, making sure the supply and demand level of each product is equalized. If not, I got to change the price, and this must be routinely done pretty often. Not to mention the idea of setting up new factories, department stores, and laying out the 9 square plan which is easily avoided by going to F4 and applying already pre-set plan. So, it takes time to set up the plans and then adding them to the library. It sucks that while in the library there isn't a convenient way of picking what I need. After a while, looking at my annual profit meter which went from 100 million to 1 billion dollars, I feel content giving up the life of being a capitalist and just watch my net worth increase exponentially. Eventually, I landed on second place of Billionaires list with 29.3 big ones. The question you may be asking yourself, if you are right now playing this game, is how do I beat this game?! Like I said, lots of trials and errors are what needed to win. I'll give you some advices. Nobody will buy inferiorly made products, so shift your focus on Research and Development to improve the quality of the products. Of course, it costs a lot of money; then again, to make a lot of money is to spend a lot of money. You should start off at the beginning with a department store selling the three products offered at the seaport. That's gonna be guaranteed to make you enough money to stay afloat. At the meantime, work onto setting up your first factory and making one or two products that you can build your dominance up with. Eventually, your success will compound over the long run, say ten years. Of course, the true actual work in this is millions of checks and balances to make sure the prices are right and assured of profit for you. Of course, one could say that I should hire a president. But to be honest with you, I can do the job better. Even worse about the president is that he can only do very few, or he'll be frustrated and resign. See what I mean? That's why I am making more money than he will ever. I've gone through three levels of difficulty, and there is an ample supply of challenges when moving up to each level. Basically, the game is about manufacturing goods, selling goods, mining up natural resources, farming lands, raising livestock for food and materials, setting prices, and making money. All in all, Capitalism is a very good game that will get you addicted for hours.
