If you want to be sure to earn a profit in your first month of
DETROIT, you can plug the following number values into the
appropriate places in the tutorial (see "Technical Supplement and
Tutorial" booklet). They will guarantee you a reasonable return
for at least your dirst few months in business. The first set of
values gives you hints, the second set gives you decent, but not
optimal exact numbers, and the third set gives you the absolute
best numbers.
Important Tutorial Change: When you first start the game, you will
now see a difficulty panel appear with possible settings. The
toughest setting is LOAN, where your company starts off in debt to
the bank, with no capital funds. The easier the setting you
choose, the more money your company will have as a beginning stake.
In order for these numbers to work in the tutorial, set the
difficulty level as medium.
