I don't know what it is about this map that makes me feel nogistaic about it. I wish it longer and the objectives more demanding. It has very few events and every play of it I end up laying burn track at the end. :-( Has anyone tried the three maps in the archives that use this map a base for their ...

Does anyone have a clue to the pros and cons of NOT using the "Snap to 64+1" option? This is in the mapbuilder. Like why to use it and what happens if you do use it. IIRC a long time ago I chose not to use the 64+1 option and the game reverted from 560x560 to 512x512 during the build. Also...

I'll try when I get home. Right now I'm 2000mi away & counting.

To answer my own question in case anyone else has this issue... probably a win 8 or 10 thing maybe. The pathway is local disk(C:) Users/Owner/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files (x86)/Railroad Tycoon 3/Data/Other The maps are duplicated here and the save games are here as well. Gotta love Micr...

So he could drop cars and tires. There's two resources he does not need. Or just add rubber to the map now the auto chain is complete. Or just have tires arrive by a port. No need for rubber then. I hope it is not about my map... because, we have a good chance for steel in Liepaja, also a car facto...

Also what I don't understand with game random generator, is why I setup for Riga and some other probability of 100% for port and other facilities, but sometime it is seeded, but sometimes not… I thought that 100% probability is a 100% probability :-) . It seems to act more like "points" n...

I'm not sure what Cash on Wheels meant about the resources :?: . IMO, they seem much improved from the earlier betas. But I am not a map maker so don't know the intricacies of their setup myself. I will also say there is no wrong way as long as there is enough demand for whatever .. What I mean by ...

It's not the cargoes. It's the cars that carry them. Once you have run the custom cars they are locked into the map. If you save the map after using custom cars, they become a permanent fixture of the map. AFAIK the only way around this would be to directly edit the hex code for the .gmp, but offha...

Yes. If the custom cars have been loaded while testing the map, anyone who wants to play the map will need to have the custom cars installed. One fix I'll try is to reload the untouched 1.05 cargos into the map and resave it. Then manually paste over the 10 extra 1.06 cargos. If that does not work,...

Hmm? There's nothing on the website or in the zip that says that Hexum requires any extra content, and nothing in this topic about it. It may be another map you've installed that require that rollingstock, even if you're not playing that particular map, especially considering that Hexum was release...

The obvious reason to build on the quarry islands is that the quarry will output 2-3x (boost events exaggerate the effect) the amount of Rock and/or Crystals at full/high price than at very low prices. This may be possible to achieve with very frequent train service as well. Didn't happen for me, d...

If there were no ports, prices in some places would collapse. This would mean higher rail profits in general and somewhat lower conversion industry profits. For sure they aren't critical to the task at hand like they were in Bermuda Triangle. I had a play that did not seed a furnace anywhere. So fo...

Fairly lazy first attempt, starting with all the Dairies and a few other resources. Spent 1993 just saving up, had $8M in Boom and ran the line down to Davoas or whatever. Got autos going down there to increase Electronics demand (still not much of a gradient even after bulldozing all the Retails u...

when do I get access to the other territories in order to complete the requirement to connect with Zwikau? Beginning of August 1866. There's still a loophole that if you start the game in 1867 or later you will never receive access. I Started in 1888 on normal, noticed no access out to territories....

I certainly made use of the tunnel he built. It's not an ugly thing and probably one of the most sensible tunnels I've ever seen the AI build. One solution would be to make an event to test if the AI connects those two cities and give him some cash so he isn't in debt because of that. I always feel...

Gave it a play starting in 1990. Didn't issue stock. Focused more on...... RoR you smashed this one as expected. I thought about moving gold to 18 years or less and making the Sabah connection even ealier for gold.( or move object cargos to Sabah!) The AI builds between those to cities every time. ...

Nope, I was wondering how it got n there. Turns out 'maps' is 4th down on the list. B Tri is the forth map down also.

Mystery solved

Latest creation fresh out of the editor. This beta covers The Philippines and some parts of Malyaisa. Unlike the previous three maps I've released (Bermuda triangle, Cold War Colorado, & Madagascar this one is a little easier on the soul. :-D MOstly looking for feedback with how well and how fas...

Lost again.... Last time it was because I did not notice a train !!censor!! (pile) west of Glenwood Springs. This time I did not keep a close eye on my steel production. Plus I was without an auto plant for a few critical years! result2.jpg Gumboots' 80s era autoracks in action! Gumboots.jpg Troop c...
