For example any design older than 5 years should be taking a penalty to sales, yet yours still keep going up...
I plan on tweaking the factory retooling process as Giacomo has suggested. This should reduce the number of factories you need to manage.
Also note there is only about 1/3rd of the AI in the game right now. Many major US companies are missing like Forward and Generic Motors... It should only get harder as I add more...
Thanks for the reply.
Edit: attached a savefile below
On the sales.
Well theres a few things i could mention which i think may have contributed.
First thing i should mention is i think i started on easy, im not sure if that has any effect on the game beyond the start settings, but there it is.
Second is ive been messing around with marketing constantly. Ive been trying to get it consistent across the board but i haven't achieved that.
Third, ive been dropping prices on some of the models(most notably the Crixton), as their cost is starting to get very low.
Finally, in the case of the pickup trucks(felix and quotation), im the only person selling in a lot of cities, at least on the East Coast USA where most of my sales are, as i bought out my only competition.
Heres the attached savefile, i found it and how to attach just now.
