Offworld Trading Company Ultimate Edition Steam CD Key
Offworld Trading Company is an extensive real-time economic strategy in which the players' weapon is not firepower, but money. The game is the debut work of the Mohawk Games studio, founded by Soren Johnson - one of the main designers of the third and fourth part of the Sid Meier's Civilization series . The production is loosely inspired by the MULE strategy released in 1983 for 8-bit computers , which turned out to be one of the first publishing successes of Electronic Arts.
Gameplay
The action of the game takes us to Mars, where we take control of our own trading company and compete with other companies, competing for the leading position on the planet. In a world where the free market is a battlefield, and money can buy everything, including the air we breathe, we will focus on extracting and producing 13 different raw materials, the turnover of which will provide us with cash and the opportunity to develop. There are no military units in the game , and the expansion of the base consists of erecting new structures that acquire a given resource or process one type of goods into another. In addition, we must ensure that our factories are supplied with an adequate supply of air, fuel or food. Neglecting this element will force them to buy them on the free market, which will have a negative impact on production costs. The axis of the game is trade in manufactured goods on the market, which reacts dynamically to the changing situation . The prices of individual commodities fluctuate in real time, depending on demand and supply, and economic realities. The key to success is the sense of trade, which will allow us to buy or sell the goods at the best possible price at the right moment. Of course , there is also a black market in the game , where you can buy, among others ownership of more land or manipulate the prices of individual goods on a regulated market. There you can also pay off people who will harass and blackmail our rivals and sabotage their production for the right price.
