New Scenario“Electric Car Pioneer”

Along with the new Electric Cars, this version introduces a new scenario titled “Electric Car Pioneer” with the following description. It would be the 16th and final scenario of the base game.

You're a visionary entrepreneur who sees the potential of electric vehicles long before they become mainstream. Your ambitious goal: to dominate the future electric car market with a 70% share and generate a monthly trade revenue of at least $3 million solely from your factory's electric car sales. But the path to electric dominance won't be easy.

You'll need to strategically invest in cutting-edge research to master the technologies behind electric motors and high-performance batteries. Outmaneuver competitors, anticipate consumer demand, and build a green manufacturing empire that will leave its mark on the future of transportation.

More New Product Types: Treadmill, Coffee Machine, and Table

We've expanded our product offerings in Capitalism Lab with some exciting new additions! In the Sports Equipment product class, we've introduced the Treadmill, bringing the total number of products in that category up to four and offering players even more profitability and strategic depth.

We've also broadened our selection in other areas: the Home Appliance product class now includes the Coffee Machine, and the Furniture product class welcomes the addition of the Table. These new products provide players with a wider range of choices for building their business empires.

Two New Scenarios

The market for home furnishings and appliances is booming. People are investing more than ever in creating comfortable and stylish living spaces. You see an opportunity to build an empire, starting with a focus on high-quality furniture. As your business grows, expand into home appliances, offering customers a one-stop shop for all their home comfort needs. Can you navigate the competitive landscape and become the leading provider of home comforts?

You dream of building a luxury goods dynasty, a name synonymous with exquisite jewelry, timepieces, cosmetics, and leather goods. Your challenge lies not just in crafting exceptional products, but in cultivating a brand that embodies exclusivity, heritage, and timeless appeal. Can you capture the hearts and minds of the discerning elite and establish your brand as the ultimate symbol of luxury?

Significant AI Improvements

This version boasts significant improvements to its AI, resulting in a more challenging and engaging gameplay experience. Here’s a breakdown of the key enhancements:

Improved the AI in allocating resources for inventions of new products.

Improved the AI in optimizing retail sales.

Improved the AI in setting training budgets.

When AI Aggressiveness is set to Very High, Competitor AI (but not subsidiary AI) will open retail stores and factories very aggressively.

AI is now more intelligent in setting the mayoral election budget.

Media and internet companies now have smarter AI for setting advertising prices. This improved AI also helps media companies optimize content development budgets.

AI improvements now provide more stable operations for R&D centers, minimizing closures and reopenings.

The number of AI companies focused on each product class is more balanced, so that there is a higher likelihood of having at least one AI companies focused on each product class.

New Product Research List: Unlocking the Future of Your Manufacturing Empire

Capitalism Lab just got even more strategic with the introduction of the New Product Research List window, accessible directly from your Manufacturer's Guide. This powerful tool provides a comprehensive overview of all the products you haven't yet discovered, allowing for more focused and efficient research planning.

This feature provides the following details for each product:

Invention Status: See at a glance whether a product has already been invented by another company. This allows you to prioritize research efforts on groundbreaking innovations and gain a competitive edge.

Unlock Dates: If a product is locked until a specific year, the window will display the year it becomes available for research, allowing you to plan ahead.

Research Prerequisites: Clearly see any prerequisites required to research a product, such as possessing specific technologies or capabilities. For example, researching Smartphones requires prior knowledge of producing camera phones.
