Have had a few years away from RT3 and with old age my memories going!

Have every user scenario there is but cant remember how to play them! Give us a hint!!!!

RT3 - Patch 6

I've just upgraded and whilst there's quite a few things I hate about it one of the good things is that I can now play the original Tropico again. Which brings me to RT6. As you know since I moved to W7 I just haven't been able to get 6 or Trainmaster to run so have been miserable only being able to...

Has anyone played this scenario? If so can they explain it please. I find it totally beyond me as I cannot stop the enemy getting more and more control nor carry many of the goods required. I've had 2 starts both equally bad. In the latest the main requirement being to carry weapons I connected to a...

Aha - shows what 2 years off makes you forget - should have remembered the station loads view. However the personal cash boost doesn't explain it. I got several messages - and extra cash - but in the last few years when my salary was cut to 10k and I should have only had another 100k from dividends ...

Well my try on Hard was both interesting and fruitless. I only qualified for Bronze but got nothing - cant understand why not as Silver came up fine last try. One reason was that for last 3 years economy dropped to recession so my shares lost a third of their value. Got Gold standard for goods to Be...

Oh boy that is interesting. I've just done the connection to CofA with a bridge from Ohv to Tetile which wsn't that expensive. As soon as I've repaid a few bonds I'll try going over the volcano because I assume that if you avoid the places where the track destruction occurs you wont keep losing it -...

Just finished this and got Silver on Normal. CBV was just below requirement otherwise it was an easy Gold. Problem was that in last few years trains stopped making much money so that I only had enough to rebuild destroyed track and replaced destroyed trains. Maybe I sometimes didn't notice that a tr...

Over the years I downloaded evey custom item and ran them on XP. On Windows 7 it is hard to remember what I'm doing as I've had so many tries at getting 1.06 to work but I'm sure I have never deliberately put in any extras and the User Extra Content box is empty. I cant see any unusual items in the ...

I'm afraid that these technicalities are beyond mem My guess is that it's something to do with my inability to patch to 1.06 working in the opposite direction but I haven't a clue why that is.

Finally managed to play it through to get to the Silver position again with no medal. Quite incredible how the game changes. First try the AI ruined my NSW company by changing every locomotive - even if they were only a year old and running them 0 / 7. It also chose locos totally unsuitable for stee...

Ah yes. Remember seeing lots of wool and livestock depressions but didn't seem to have much effect. I haven't got the final save but will give it another try from the NSW/Queensland switch and send it you if same thing happens.

Just downloaded this and played normally saving before I started up in Queensland. Thought it was a very enjoyable scenario so was happy giving it a few tries. First one I rapidly got to what the Almanac said was Gold standard in Queensland so went back to NSW only to find the AI had absolutely ruin...

My Map is 1/1/2008 and I have a version 2 of 20/12/07 - if you want either can send. The dates are described as date modified whatever that means but I would have downloaded them almost as soon as they were posted. Unfortunately I cant play them now as they need 1.06 patch which I still cant get my ...

Well as I suspected connecting to a town from outside its State doesn't give you a tick in the box for that state. Can now get silver pretty regularly but gold is still elusive - principally because the economy always seems to go downhill as year 25 approaches.

I cant count. There are actually 14 so connect all but one of the 2 expensive ones = the 13 needed. I've done this (twice) and each time its said 9. Which is very wierd because I've now discovered why. I may have bought the rights but cant have laid a line or station in them so it doesn't count. Str...

I've started in all 3 places and the "bug" is in at least 2 - cant be certain about Bavaria I'll give that a try. I realise that when I've connected all 10 it says 9 cos it doesn't count the one you start in but, once again, I got Bronze having fulfilled the Silver conditions so that's bot...

In desparation cos I still cant get patch 1.06 to work in W7 I've started playing the Campaigns again on Expert. I did them when I first got RT3 and managed Gold on all at Expert and my notes say this one wasn't difficult. So Gold on all up to here (its 6 - The State of Germany by the way) but now I...

Sorry for not replying earlier but for some reason I didn't get a notification of your reply - also been on holiday. It's all very odd isn't it? It may be something to do with Windows7 and my problems in getting the 1.06 patch to work. (I've tried all the hints on the Forum including installing outs...

Attach it. Train 2 runs o/k but 5 is stuck. When I took the AI over I altered the consist from 0/5 to 2/6 and re-routed them. I can't remember how as when they stuck (both at one time) I kept changing them to see if it made any difference. This is the only save I have as all the others have been dit...
