Basics
Capitalism II is a game of world domination by means of better business practices. Your objective is to build your corporation into a mighty empire while crushing or outselling the competition. You can choose between pre-built campaign scenarios with set parameters and custom games where you do the tweaking. Multiplayer is also available for up to seven players. To begin, select the type of game you wish to play and follow the instructions on the next screens.
Controls
Capitalism II includes a tutorial -- the Entrepreneur's Campaign -- that will guide you through the basics of interface and objectives. Since this is a complex, intricate game it's advisable to play the tutorial before trying to become the next megacorp. In general, this game is a menu-driven simulation, so you'll find all the commands in intuitively laid out menus and buttons.
Manufacturing and Selling
Factories produce goods from raw materials, bringing in money and help keeping costs down. Getting into manufacturing can be a pricey endeavor, but the return is usually worth the risk. Regardless of whether you make them yourself or not, you will also build stores to sell your products. Attract customers with advertising campaigns and manipulate the prices of your goods to tweak income and encourage sales.
Business Types
There's more to Capitalism II than just retail and manufacturing. You can build farms, seaports, TV stations -- pretty much whatever you want. These are called firms, and you're responsible for everything about them, from what they do to where they are. Starting a firm costs money, so weigh potential profits against the startup costs of a new business. The basic rule is golden: if supply exceeds demand, sooner or later, you'll make money. If it doesn't, you're in trouble.
Competition
Of course, you're not alone in the great big business world, and as you succeed you'll attract the attention of other companies. Competition can be good, forcing you to diversify your processes and products, but it can also wreck your bottom line. Once you get enough cash, you can buy out competitors in hostile or friendly takeovers. Early in the game, it's wise to insert yourself into some lines of business with little or no competition, before the market gets saturated.
Tip: Monopoly!
The best way to make money is to control every aspect of your products, from raw materials through manufacturing to retail. That way you don't have to pay high materials costs to produce.
Tip: Executives
It can help, later on, to hire executives to automate some of the boring tasks. A Chief Operating Officer, for example, will help cut redundant clicking on your part by handling many day-to-day operations.
Tip: Location, Location, Location
You can watch foot and motor traffic in cities to gauge which areas are good spots for new retail stores.
