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.
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.
