Or the other objective (they are distinct game modes) is to buy off all your competitions' stock and making them into your subsidiary-their profits become your profit. The game's objective is to be the most profitable business at the end of x number of days (7 from original game.

The game has a small enough number of tile limit (usually) and each race advantage that you shouldn't or can't manufacture all needs the goods yourself. There is also the main city per map, offworld market which are venues to sell and the player's own needs like food and electricity, these create the demand. So there is lot of buying from your opponents which gives them advantage and them buying from you. You can choose to buy iron or manufacture your own iron. For example, if you want to make steel, you need iron. You can manufacture goods and do additional research and some dirty tricks to gain an advantage. You buy one resource, the price will go up. The game is all about trading and manufacturing. Once you get better at it, you can crank up the speed and make the game even faster. I recall about 20~30min if you don't pause at normal speed. But it's completely different and each round is actually quite short. I came in thinking it might be similar style to galactic civilization from same company or sid meier's civilizations. Mastering may take a lot longer but by that point, you'll have finished the campaign and understood all there is to the game and the game won't provide you with much more.Įach game rounds are a lot shorter than I originally expected. About 10~15hr point is when you'll likely say enough if you find the mechanic enjoyable. I have played this game about 14hrs and I agree with number of other people's post here.
