Gumboots: Yea, that makes sense. I pressed every button i could find to move it from the outbox to no avail. ^**lylgh Grandma Ruth: The last few days I read up on your adventures trying to test the SCBC map. Thank you for all your efforts. !**yaaa I hope your sanity has not been sacrificed in any wa...

Gumboots, do the Private Messages still work?
I have one in the outbox but can't send it.

Well, I am nearly a new member since I have not posted for ages. So how are you folks making out? Myself I am playing mostly Railway Empire 2 and am enjoying it. Graphics have come a long way since RT3. Would be nice though if it had editor capabilities similar to RT3. But then perhaps not. *!*!*! Y...

After all those years you folks are still trying to get that map completed. Can only admire your efforts and am in awe of all that time you have put into this “adventure”. It feels to me like that I have planted only a seed (perhaps in a too rocky area) that you have slowly fostered into a bush that...

Finally an answer to some of your questions. “Maybe I took too much liberty, I will totally remove the ability to build track in that mode if you say.” No just keep on going with your plans. You have a much better feel of what “players” like to play. I made my maps all the time according to my visio...

Hi Folks You most certainly are going to town with this map. It seems that great progress is being made. I must admit however that most of the conversations you have are way over my head. Just a couple of points I like to make: The pace of tracklaying was based on the actual connection dates and as ...

Hard to tell but it looks like I had the tunnel entrance lower on the mountain. “Might expand this to involve the player in the earlier survey costs as well, admittedly that is a little historical liberty since it was VV&E, but . . . .” A fair bit of historical liberty had to be taken throughout...

Ok I hope you can download the two screenshots from the link that you should have gotten. Not certain from what build the shots are but I guess it was from very early on in the route making. Not much has changed on the route itself except I believe there is also a Lumber camp in the area that was ad...

Re Tunnel area, there was no fine tuning necessary if I recall correctly. My approach was more from the Southeast and not from the East. There was a left turn gently up into the recess of the south ridge and then turning northwest almost directly in front of the Tunnel which was running almost strai...

We are all good on the starting of track laying to Penticton. I only wanted to state my probable reason for doing it the way it was. You made it more playable and that is great. :salute: I do not recall the track laying at the tunnel to be that steep. It was a rather gentle slop of 3% or 4% max. In ...

The reason I made it with the waiting period was most likely because April was the “normal” start of the construction season due to local weather conditions. Prior to that the supplies had to be still be brought to the sites. However, your correction does make for a more fluid game and does not chan...

RulerofRails, firstly, let me thank you for all the time you have spent on the map. As you perhaps have gathered from the posting on {BETA} fix/update South Central British Columbia 1898 , there can be other views on what the map should be like. The fact however is that at best, it can only be a com...

Ruler of Rails, I was happy with the seeding but I never got to play the map much for the sake of playing it if that makes any sense. I played it almost all the time to test for something and look for tweaks. So if you folks think re-tweaking the demand/supply will make it more playable please go ah...

Thanks Ruler of Rails for testing and exploring the map. “My question would be how the official "construction offers" and free-range mode are meant to work together?” In short, I do not remember for certain but most likely there is or should be no free range mode. (I am specifically referr...

Gumboots, it looks like our difference in age is starting to show. ^**lylgh I started with playing RT1 and found that RT2 was a great improvement over RT1 even though the Bidding Wars (to determine what railroad was allowed to build a station into a city) did not make it into RT2. Never had that sam...

Hawk, I don’t really know what to say except hang in there. Things will certainly get better again even if it does not seem so at the moment. Life is too short to take it at face value. (0!!0) RulerofRails you got it all wrong. I am the one that has to say thank you for your efforts to breath new li...

Disconnecting from the Internet? !*00*! Hawk, that means you will be ……………….gone or? !*00*! !*00*! How will I be in touch with you? No matter how hard we will try to drum, the sounds will simply not reach us anymore. Governments spend billions to lay Glassfiber lines to reach the last corners of the...

RulerofRails, that is interesting. I did not think that one can do that because in the Google guidelines it says “Note: If you share with an email address that isn’t a Google Account, they’ll only be able to view the file.” But I am clad it worked for you. :salute: I am also concerned about privacy ...

I do not think so. Does not everybody have a Google Account? :shock: Perhaps there is another way of doing it? **!!!** What I would like to avoid is that the map is openly available. People, without knowing the circumstances of the map status might then starting to contact me about specifics and I w...

Hopefully there will be further developments with the editor. Since I like the “feel” of Railway Empire and enjoy playing it I would not mind fiddling with it to make some scenarios. Let’s hope for the best. I will make the #423 available on an individual basis. Have uploaded it to google drive so p...
