Disclaimer +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ You know the drill. Don't take without asking me through e-mail at Ultimeomnicode@aol.com. Etc etc. Blah blah...you take it I kick you're as...blah blah. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ II. Introduction +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Welcome. I am getting better with my FAQ's and Walkthroughs as you see (I think). Anyway lets get on with what this game is all about, what you can do, and etc. You have been put in charge of a company sort of speak. You want to become Chairman of the Board but to do so you must show them your skills with a company. To do so just make a company in a town and extend your reach in time and as money comes in. But your not alone. Other people are out for that spot. So good luck as you show your skills in as many ways as possible. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ III. Starting Out +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Once started out choose your opponent. Remember each opponent is unique in their skills of business and managing. Choose them VERY carefully. Now after so choose your color and name etc. Than once you click ok look quick for a good starting point. Make sure the raw materials are close to the town so you don't have to spend more than you must for your production place, stations, store, and all the other things you need. Now after everything is connected and done and you choose the product you will be starting to make and the production building then lets build a vehicle to transport it to the spot. Usually you start off building the most common, best type of transport - the train. Now as soon as you got one train going to deliver sit and wait for enough money to come in. Now go to your store during waiting time to see how much must be sent to the store so you don't over deliver and if you already over deliver or want to than...put on a sale! Lower prices and all. That will get rid of excess units of the item there. Good you just started the game. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ IV. Shipping and Handling +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Everything cost money and takes time. You must find the quickest, efficient, low costing way to deliver the raw material to the production center, and from the production center to the store and all the way back to the raw materials. Plus you must control the cost of how much it will be sold at stores that is reasonable and competitive to your opponents prices (If they are in the same line of business products as you). You must find the price for the raw materials and producing it into the product and find how much dough will be returned by selling. Since if you are losing money and not gaining within 5 to 10 years you may be out of luck and have to....try again (Now that's funny)! Also you must meet demand and not over do it since if you do you better sell those extra ones quick so you aren't losing money. You also must make sure you are getting enough extra money so you can expand and make more vehicles to move your raw materials and products. Once you got a handle on all this (scary stuff and its easier than it seems) than you are ready to get fancy. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ V. Strategy +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Now lets get fancy with this stuff. Remember you don't have to always sell sports products (assuming you used that even though you don't have too). You can always expand your reach but if you do expand your reach than you will have to budget even more harder to keep income on track with both or more types of things being sold. Also if you are using trains then extend the terminal so you can have many trains delivering the same kind of product or many trains delivering many different products. But downside of selling many different products is you must make sure they don't get mixed up with each other. So that you don't have raw material going somewhere you don't want it to go. Also you don't always have to use trains. You can combine using trains and trucks or planes and trucks, and etc. Again watch the budget for how much you spend on them. Also expand the cities you are in with attractions and adding roads to tell them where to expand. Also keep production factories away from the city so not to many pollution is there. If you think or thought of other ways to do things just e-mail them to me and I will give you credit. Remember my e-mail is Ultimeomnicode@aol.com. Don't worry. I am nice. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ VI.
