Just so I'm clear, in the unlikely event no one takes a marketer, recruiting girl, or trainer, the related achievements will be locked?
Anyway, recruit a marketing trainee.

I'd assume always play with Hard Choices turned on, though I don't expect it to matter much with 6 players.

Yep.

As far as a named module goes, 'Hard Choices' is for the base game milestones. New Milestones automatically comes with its own version baked in.

There is an expanded hard choices module but the baseline of trainer marketer and recruit are always there in the new milestones, yeah

I have to say the Alternative Milestones seem a lot more elegant than the originals, because it bakes in stuff like "yes you are going to want a marketeer, recruiting girl, or trainer as your T1 hire." All three opens look stronger, but Marketing Trainee seems to have gotten the biggest relative buff.

Does the free executive VP come out of the 1/2/3 that are in a 3/4/5+ player game?

Max
Nov 30, 2002

Yes.

Specifically, all six players could do recruiting girl and there will be 6 executives in play, but once it goes over the threshold of available executives according to player count then no one else can get them later in the game.

It is a neater way than the guy teaching slapping down a trainer in front of the new players.

ROUND 1

1.4 - No-one feels like eating out.
1.5 - No-one's on more than minimum wage.
1.6 - There are no marketing campaigns.
1.7 - There's nothing to clean up!

ROUND 2

2.1 - In previous games, I would have said 'nominate your new org charts' here... but given the way in which the new milestones work, leaving a slot empty on your org chart this turn seems like it'll gently caress you up? If anyone wants to do so, let me know and we'll actually run this step in full - for now, I'll just assume everyone is playing everything.
2.2 - In turn order, please choose your position in the new turn order.

A marketing trainee's range is 2, but they still have to pay attention to roads - the overpasses mean you can't get there going upwards from your restaurant.

ROUND 2

The staff list will be updated once I can get my hands on my work machine and figure out what font I used, and why it isn't on my home machine. We're not likely to run into scarcity before that.

2.2 - Turn order is rearranged.

2.3.1 - Xango Blues Bar markets, earning First Marketeer Used and First Marketing Trainee Used. Xango gets a free kitchen trainee and errand boy. oh my god now I have to keep track of which player placed which ad? gently caress
