My short story went like so.

I started a new company, chose the resource I felt like sounded solid (cotton). Then I proceeded to follow the tutorial building where it recommended and what.

This left me with a solid 2k a turn in profit at the time. So I upgraded some stuff and changed my hq around to a few different things that made more money.


I tried using that transport to make money but it was unable to sell anything on order for longer than 30 turns at a profit with that transport. My margins seemed low and what the hell was that buy for double mess... If someone is selling for 15 why the hell am i buying for 30?

Got my profit margin up to 5k a turn on cotton and poultry. Started buying and upgrading pastures and stuff only to realize when i upgraded my hq there were different resource research options than what I was given at the start.

So I started changing that over to a more generic product category than the specific thing slowly. Noticed I couldn't sell cotton anymore since that was losing money so I switched to fruits, sugar, and fish. Got everything ticking profitable again.

All seemed fine and dandy. Then I log on approximately 12 hours after nearly finishing my upgraded hq and my finances were a nightmare. Prices for everything I make and produce are so low I can't make any money with any of them. SO I HAD TO SALVAGE EVERYTHING.... I didn't even get to upgrade the structures I had much, I only ever was able to build 3 buildings and they ended up losing me income???

Trading didn't seem to make any money, can't make any military units because they cost more than 100 turns for a single scout?

Love the concept but I'm sorry this game doesn't seem balanced at all.

Farewell New York that was an interesting visit and thanks for having me!]]> Sat, 24 Nov 2018 06:59:27 GMT
