As regards employees and machines, Igor advocates the simple approach: "As much as necessary and as little as possible". Machines receive the maintenance they need, but no more. The employees are paid just enough so that they do their work well. Absolute power is Igor's expressed goal. He now also wants to pull the strings in politics and any means are justified for him to achieve this. You should never underestimate Igor and especially never turn your back on him.
Sometimes, it pays to be stingy, as Igor Tuppolevsky, the owner of Imperial Airlines, can attest. Igor is one of the four playable characters in Airline Tycoon 2, the upcoming airline management game from Kalypso Media, and he’s the type of guy you never turn your back on! As you’ll see in his Character Profile, downloadable below, Igor believes in saving money more than anything, though he’s not above spending money to sabotage his opponents. In Airline Tycoon 2, players will build world-class airlines by designing and building planes, managing air routes, advertising…and even sabotaging their opponents. Airline Tycoon 2 is set for release in North America on October 11.
A decade after the best-selling Airline Tycoon comes the long awaited sequel to the legendary tongue-in-cheek economic simulation that puts players in the role of CEO of an international airline! Airline Tycoon 2 will challenge players to run a modern airline, design unique airplanes and grow a run-down carrier into a globally recognized company that passengers practically beg to fly. Airports worldwide are waiting to be explored, but beware– your rivals never rest! Crafty opponents are also working to dominate the skies…and they won’t let anything stand in the way of their goals!
Features of Airline Tycoon 2 include:
Build your ideal fleet of planes – use the in-game editor to craft inexpensive mass-transportation "Greyhounds in the sky“ or unique, luxury jets that spoil the elite
Jump into the action as one of four playable avatars with unique strengths and weaknesses
Explore your home airport in full 3D, while bossing your employees around and expanding your blossoming airline; you might even meet VIPs at the airport lounge
Random events bring variety to the game -- The Pope wants a special flight? Civil unrest in a global hotspot? Volcanic ash clouds above Europe? If you act quickly, you can profit from these events!
