Business aspect?

Forgive me if this has been asked or answered somewhere before…

I have read so much on the designing elements (I am no doubt excited about them!!), but not quite enough about the “Tycoon” part of the game.

So… Assuming you have a “rough draft” so too speak,

What can we expect of the business portion?
Are you expected to start off as a small business and work your way up? Are you challenged with certain scenarios/challenges, such as the game suggests where you have to build an engine/car/body/whatever for the military? The money aspect? I’ve seen the word factories thrown around, and it would seem you have to have multiple factories if you want to create multiple engines… is this true?

I guess i don’t have any specific question, i’m just curious about game play outside of the designers.

one thing is for sure, you will need specialty shops to do forging or fiber materials

and i would love to know how all of it will turn out myself

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=880 - This covers a few things about that aspect, but I’ll type up a better post at some point.

Thanks
