    Gameplay

    Turmoil is inspired by the North American oil rush in the 19th century. The player must become a successful oil entrepreneur. While the player makes money by digging and selling oil, the city is growing at the same time, which allows the player to buy improvements such as fast horses or thicker pipes. The campaign mode allows the player to bid for land in auctions and dig for oil with the help of dowsers , moles or scanners, with the aim of getting as much as possible in one year. The player competes with three rival AI s in each level.
