Titans of Progress
New York, January 1890. Five million dollars, and nobody on the payroll.
Coming soon to Steam Early Access
Found a company in the year the electric age begins. Hire the engineers, stake your money on the bench, and prove each invention in the field before anyone else can claim it.
Build the works, sell what they make, and trade the paper of every house that stands in your way. Work with Mr. Tesla, or stay with the Establishment. Morgan and Rockefeller would rather use the courts than compete.
Seven fields, from the dynamo onward
Electrical, electronics, materials, chemical, manufacturing, transport and computing. Every claim is tried in the field, with money and engineers at stake, and a failure costs both.
Quoted in eighths, as it was
Buy into the railroads and the trusts, watch a panic take them down, and take your own company public when the country is ready to believe in it.
A continent that keeps time
Seasons turn, towns grow with the census, and the lights come on where the wires reach. Buy land where it is cheap or build where the capital is, and pay for the difference.
The Courier is watching
The New-York Courier reports what you did and what the country made of it, from the founding to the crashes and the wars.
