I miss the Cap 2 single player campaigns. I wish they can be brought back in Cap lab.

I skipped them and as a result had to read the manual (no other game did I do that for) to understand how to play. With Capitalism Lab it would be nice to have a written intro tutorial, and it has so many more features then Cap 2 that for new players removing most of those features might be helpful and allow them to explore without getting overwhelmed.

There are currently 4 scenario scripts in CapLab and we will release more in the future. Have you tried any of them? What are your comments about them?

Fashion venture, Real estate mogul, Toys and gadgets, and Corporate leadership these four?

I think most are fine as normal scenarios if you are seasoned players. And they cover some of the basic focus and strategies. But I wish there are more of them and they should setup in a proper way, that players would have to use much deeper but specific strategies. And we need to have some step by step missions and slowly introduced some concepts, too many options can be overwhelming for beginners.

Thoughts on the newbie script?

Hmm, the low difficult setting is less of a problem in general (perhaps it doesn't have to be easy, sometimes just the right amount of challenge is better). I think we need some tutorial like scenario stages, and let players focus on one task at a time. Maybe setting some stage goal like dominate certain product first (farm products perhaps?), and then the next goal. But I do think we need some pre-setup buildings and businesses (like in Cap II missions) for it to be effective.
