This is a pair of two maps :

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, more than half of the gross domestic product is derived from the agricultural sector, and fire is a major component, as it is in most of Africa. Fire is often used to burn forests and other natural vegetation to clear the way for new farmlands.

In this scenario, the fire has gotten terribly out of hand, slowly enveloping the country in flames. A very challenging scenario for any railway tycoon attempting to fire up business there.

Sweden: In this map, goods are continuously recycled into other goods until they have cycled all the way to garbage which is fed into incinerators. A timely WTE Plant Operator action can score bonus points for the player that can catch the plant full of garbage!

In Prospectus, players are mages trying to earn the most money by trading potions in the Kriztus potion exchange. As mages, players can of course see into the market futures to gain an edge in their trading. However, your skills at this are somewhat limited, as things will not always go according to your predictions. The game makes use of a unique and eye-catching crystal ball mechanism (inspired by the cube tower in Wallenstein, Shogun, and Amerigo) ensuring no market prediction is a sure bet!

Also beware, each mage is armed with an array of spells that can affect the market in unpredictable ways, thwarting the other mages' plans! Clever and timely use of these spells will turn the markets in your favor, while frustrating your opponents' plans.

In addition to the potion market, the High Council also has its own demands and interests in the markets. However, due to their immense power, they have been banned from the trading floor, and must purchase their potion directly from other mages. They will be a good source of income for the mages, and reward the markets if they get what they need; but beware, they'll also do their best to crash the values of those potions they fail to receive!

The mage that is able to earn the most money through cunning investments, shrewd spell-casting, and timely sales to the High Council will be the most successful potion trader and win the game!
