While there are usually a few decent retail goods available for import from nearby seaports, you'll soon have to move into manufacturing to keep your corporation growing. Once you have some basic businesses turning a profit, the game really opens up.
Each business is made up of nine building blocks, such as crop growing, manufacturing, purchasing, sales, and advertising, but there are hundreds of easily searchable premade templates, so a working furniture factory is only a few clicks away. You don't need to devote one whole store to aspirin and another to cough syrup-there's a manageable four product slots you can allocate. Businesses are as customizable as you might hope. The core of Capitalism is straightforward: The object is to create businesses that buy, produce, or sell products and reinvest the profits to boost revenue and to diversify into new regions and products. Both Capitalism games were designed by Trevor Chan, who is also the creator of the Seven Kingdoms games, which innovatively combine real-time strategy combat with Civilization-style empire building. Capitalism II is a substantial improvement on its predecessor.Īt the heart of Capitalism II is a sophisticated game design that's been expanded and refined since the original version of Capitalism was released in 1995. Also, as if to help your own bottom line, the game's a real bargain at $20. This complexity means the game requires quite some effort to learn, but once competition picks up against the aggressive AI, Capitalism II shows its colors as a great strategy game.
The scale of this game is much more ambitious than that of other Tycoon games or business sims, providing a world where you can control everything from mining operations and media outlets to the manufacturing and retail of around 60 diverse products. If you play your cards right in Capitalism II and establish a globe-spanning corporation, it's not about wealth, but megawealth-counted in billions.
But while some might think that all such games must have "Tycoon" somewhere in the title, Capitalism II sets its sights higher. Since the business world is as cutthroat and lucrative as it is, it's no surprise that it makes for great game material.
