Is it even possible to win the game? I've played it 100 million times in a monte carlo simulation and even applied two heuristics to hit a winning strategy: 1.

Is it even possible to win the game? I've played it 100 million times in a monte carlo simulation and even applied two heuristics to hit a winning strategy: 1. heavily over- or under-weighted choosing tractor production when paid tasks are available; 2. when a paid task was available in the previous round but not chosen, the weight for this round is reduced
The best result I've gotten is 998 tractors after round 120.

- alexpotato 4mo agoI was tweaking the game and realized that the win conditions are really hard if not impossible. I did seriously consider if that is really the best example of the Soviet economy ;-)
- rmast 4mo agoMaybe the only way to win is to cheat.

Realized after I posted that it's probably really hard to actually win. > I've played it 100 million times in a monte carlo simulation and even applied two heuristics to hit a winning strategy: This is the MOST HackerNews comment ever (in the good sense) and it makes me immensely happy that this is the kind of feedback I received. Btw, going to post a new version with some tweaks to the ruble payout etc.
