Master Trader: E-Commerce Sim

🌍 Start with a small online store. Grow it into a global holding empire over years.

Master Trader is a deep business-building simulation that models real e-commerce dynamics. Ad budgets, supply chain, competitor strategy, seasonal events, and the compounding effect of scale — all work like real life. You can't autopilot this; your commercial intelligence, patience, and reactions make the difference.

🎯 CORE GAMEPLAY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Pick a market across several countries (US, TR, DE, UK, MX...)
- Build a portfolio from 68 products (electronics, kitchen, toys, home...)
- Choose from 6 supply channels (Chinese factory, local wholesale, premium)
- Manage 3 ad channels (Google, Social Media, Marketplace)
- Grow your team (COO, CMO, CFO, Quality Inspector...)
- Build factories, open exports, acquire rivals
- Go public via IPO, convert to Holding at $100M to win

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🥊 COMPETITIVE DYNAMICS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Rivals aren't passive. Organized attacks land every 2-3 months:
⚔️ Price war — rivals slash prices 20-40%
⚔️ Smear campaign — negative review bombardment on your listing
⚔️ Ad bombardment — rival ad spend jumps 2-4×

Market trends shift constantly: every 60-90 days new categories rise while others fade. Rotate your portfolio or stagnate.

📊 REALISTIC ECONOMY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Store rating starts at 3.0/5 — reviews push it up or down
- Inventory ages — 6-month-old stock loses appeal
- Scale effect: big stores organically pull more customers
- Reputation tiers: from 500 sales to 5M sales, 6 progressive levels

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎉 GLOBAL EVENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Prime Days
- Back to School, Valentine's, Mother's Day, Halloween
- Country-specific names (El Buen Fin, Weihnachten, Boxing Day...)
- Each event affects ad costs, shipping delays, and demand multipliers
