I am going to start Game 6 in some little far away place, maybe SE Asia or Cuba. Going to see how that works.
I played a game in Japan not long ago and found it damn hard to remain profitable.
The problem is the Per Capita is so low.
For comparison in the US/UK, selling at $1500 is
Based on UK at start 4x capita
Based on UK in 1906 3.4x capita
Based on US at start 4.5x capita
Based on US at 1906 3.7x capita
In an East Asian country, like Japan, selling at 1500 is
Based on Japan at start 16x capita
Based on Japan at 1906 9x capita
If you wanted to reach the same level of pricing 3-5x capita, your looking at
Based on Japan at start 270-450
Based on Japan at 1906 495-825
Staying profitable with such low pricing is possible, but much harder.
Its definitely an enjoyable challenge.
