The scenario screen enables players to choose a scenario to play.Ĭapitalism includes seventeen scenarios with pre-made situations and businesses and a certain goal. These can then be sold within the business to department stores or outside to competitors. On a farm, the player grows crops and raises livestock a farm can produce both meat and other products such as wheat and barley. Interestingly, farming is the most financially rewarding business model in Capitalism, usually creating millions of dollars in annual profit. New products can also be produced using R&D. R&D for any product can last from 6 months to 10 years in the game, with the technology gain being higher when the R&D duration is increased. R&D ultimately improves the player's product quality by increasing technology gain. The player can also choose to run research and development (R&D) operations as either their sole business or alongside running other operations such as department stores and factories. The most profitable strategy is to ultimately build a vertically integrated enterprise by the player 1) operating the farms and mines which make the raw materials, 2) which are then purchased by the player's factories, which in turn produce branded goods that are 3) sold in the player's department stores. Purchasing, manufacturing, sales and advertising can all be used in factories. Manufacturing begins with building a factory and planning the internal operation layout of the structure. However, the player can venture into any market segment they want including manufacturing, which includes another set of considerations such as suppliers and raw material shortages. The most common business model to pursue in Capitalism is retail by running a chain of department stores. The player can build several types of firms including department stores, factories, research and development centers, farms, mines, oil wells and also logging camps. As a real world model it is necessary to take into account land cost, overhead, demand for the products, and competition. Each store can be stocked with up to four different items. In a new game, the player begins with a maximum of $200,000,000 initial capital. The player may start their own business or play a scenario with a pre-made business with a set goal.
