Depending on its position, the Capital Value marker adds a premium or discount to the SYNCANIT, GOODS and FOOD markets. (See value on the left). It also increases the Crisis War and Revolution markers, depending on its position. Each field can only increase a crisis once, i.e. if the capital value is set to +2 but this effect has already been used once, Revolution is not increased.
IMPORTANT: The -2, -3 for War is a misprint and should be +2, +3.
