Industry Giant 2 v1.1 Patch

The start of a successful career: Take on the role of an entrepreneur in the year 1900. Experience the new industrial era marked by the beginning of mass production, and steer your company through turbulent times right up to the age of information. From lumberjack to industry mogul: Your task is not easy, as you alone are responsible for extracting and processing raw materials, selecting a site, building transportation networks, and overseeing sales and advertising. But don't worry, as the innovative pop-up menu system, an interactive tutorial, and the easy-to-understand rules of play all make it extremely easy for you to get started. Vehicles: Take command of an entire fleet of vehicles. Lorries, steam engines, diesel and electric trains, ships and planes - you decide which vehicles best suit your needs. Don't forget to maintain your vehicles properly and modernise your fleet from time to time. Authentic product cycles: You start the game in possession of a substantial amount of products. As the game progresses, new products are added each year. You therefore learn the fun way about when products like nylon were first manufactured on a large scale. You can manufacture over 150 different products. It's entirely up to you whether you use your money to produce toys, food, sports equipment, cars, electronic goods - or make another choice from the wide range available. Strategy: Choose the locations of your retail outlets wisely to ensure that the money comes rolling in. But don't forget your image. You could soon go to the wall if you stick a steelworks right on a city's doorstep. However, if there is no alternative location, you can always try sponsorship as a means of appeasing the locals. Be careful not to underpay or overpay your employees. Underpaid workers will go to the barricades and strike. The stuff of dreams: Finally, after all your successful endeavours, you can afford your own luxury residence. Find the perfect spot and the most beautiful palace and bask in the envious looks of your virtual neighbours. A bit of luxury won't hurt! Family business: Industry Giant 2 combines the complexity of a top-flight business simulation with the fun and simplicity of a family board game. In the process, players young and old alike will gain a fascinating insight into the exciting development of industry and products during the twentieth century. When was the first hamburger produced? When did people first use skateboards? And when did touchtone telephones first roll off the production line? New and Innovative Menu System:Innovative menu system: For Industry Giant 2, the programmers developed a completely new menu system that gives players the best possible overview without losing any of the detailed information you would expect in a business simulation. There are no fixed menu bars to obscure the view of the map. One click of the mouse in the landscape calls up a menu that provides access to all the relevant options. Another click, this time on the right mouse button, and the menu disappears again. This means that the whole screen can be filled with the elaborate graphics that enhance the game enjoyment of Industry Giant 2.
