View the descriptions of these game settings

[CITY ECONOMIC SIMULATION DLC] or [CES DLC]

If the survival mode is enabled:
Developed City=<Yes,No>
Whether there is a developed city at the beginning or not. The game is more challenging if you have to start from scratch without a developed city.

First City Cash Level=<Low, Moderate, High>
The first city’s cash level at the beginning of the game.  

If the survival mode is disabled:
City Initial Cash Level=
<Low, Moderate, High>
This is for setting the cash levels of cities at the beginning of the game.

Public Expenses Index=<10 to 200>
This index determines the recurring expenses of public facilities, which affects the game’s difficulty playing as a mayor. When it is set to a high value, the same public facility will have higher operating expenses.

Land Price Index=<10 to 200>
This index determines the prices that the government sells its land and natural resource sites to corporations. 

City Setup Cost=<1 to 10000> (unit: $1 million)
The default cost of setting up a new city is $100 million (it increases with inflation). You may override it by defining a new cost amount using the above statement. 

Random Global Competitiveness Ratings=<Yes,No>
If this is enabled, global competitiveness ratings across industries will be randomized in the beginning of the game. If this is disabled, global competitiveness ratings will be initialized with a constant value of 30. 

Global Competitiveness Rating Increases=<Off, 1, 2, 3, 4>
This option determines whether global competitiveness ratings will increase over time, progressively making the game more challenging. A higher value means that it increases at a faster rate. 

Apartment Capacity Modifier=<10-200>  
It modifies the capacity of all apartments. 100 is the standard value. Lowering it will decrease the number of people each apartment houses. This means that more apartments need to be built and the real estate business will be more profitable.

Commercial Building Capacity Modifier=<10-200>
It modifies the capacity of all commercial buildings. 100 is the standard value. Lowering it will decrease the amount of office space each commercial building provides. This means that more commercial buildings need to be built and the real estate business will be more profitable.

Donations to Rival Political Parties=<0-100>
If you set this to a value greater than zero, rival political parties will receive donations from the general public over time. This setting is mainly for increasing the difficulty level of the game.


Digital Age DLC

[DIGITAL AGE DLC]

Software Revenue Index=<10-400>

If this index is higher than 100, the demand and revenue from software products in this game will be higher than normal. Conversely, if this index is lower than 100, software businesses will be less profitable.

Internet Revenue Index=<10-400>

If this index is higher than 100, revenue generated by Internet companies will be higher than normal. Conversely, if this index is lower than 100, Internet companies will be less profitable.

E-Commerce=<Yes, No>

If this is enabled, companies will be able to build e-commerce firms and sell products via e-commerce.

AI Acquires Private Companies=<Never, Seldom, Occasionally>

This determines whether AI corporations may acquire independent private companies or not.


AI Tech Companies Go IPO=<Yes, No>
OR
AI Tech Companies Go IPO=<1-50> 

If this is enabled, private AI tech companies from the Digital Age DLC may go public on the stock exchange.

If it is set to a number, AI companies will go public within the specified number of years.

Max AI software and Internet companies=<None, Low, Moderate, High>

This option limits the maximum number of AI software and Internet companies in a game. A lower value means an easier game.

You may set the limits for software and Internet companies separately using the following lines:

Max AI software companies = <number> 
Max AI OS companies = <number> 
Max AI Internet companies = <number> 

Talent System = <Full, Simplified, Greatly Simplified>

If this is set to Simplified, all talents start with a skill level of 50. If this is set to Greatly Simplified, loyalty and headhunting features of the talent system are disabled too.

More Talents = <0-500>

If you are using a MOD with a large number of product classes and there is a undersupply of talents in the game, then you may use this option to have the game duplicate talent data to increase the supply. For example, if you set it to 50, then the game will generate 50% more talents in a new game.

Disruption to Traditional Media=<None, Low, Moderate, High>

When this is enabled, the traditional media (TV, Radio and Newspaper) will be disrupted by the Internet. As people embrace the Internet, they will spend more time online and less time on the traditional media.

Telecom Customer Stickiness = <1 to 1000>
(default value: 100)

If you think your telecom gains customers from rival telecoms too slowly, you may use this variable to change the speed at which it gains or loses customers in relation to rival telecoms.

A value lower than 100 means that customer stickiness in telecom will be lower than the default setting and the gain or loss of customers will happen faster. A value higher than 100 has the opposite effect.

The formula is:
<the original rate of gaining/losing customers> X 100 / <this Telecom Customer Stickiness variable>

For example, if Telecom Customer Stickiness is set to 20, then
The new rate of gaining/losing customers will be 100 / 20 = 5 times of the original rate.
