Thanks, Milo, what a hell of a job you're doing. I agree we should go for the most possible fixes first. I could have a go at writing scenarios, not very experienced but willing! Also I'll test with pleasure. Only thing is I don't have that much time - just a few hours in the course of a week so you...

I smoke too much (I know it's not a snack!). Trying desperately to chew nicotine gum instead.

I suspected some of my problems might be due to my old computer! I'll have to see about sorting out some of these technical issues - I haven't got a patch of any kind, just the game as it came out of the box!
Thanks for your tips.

And another thing I'd forgotten - in RT3, when you save a map repreatedly under the same name, or even with a different name, the colours become washed-out. This is a real pain when testing games in progress and it doesn't seem to happen in RT2.

Having read the comments about Railroads, I'm not sure I'll even buy it now so unless somebody gets me it for Christmas I'll stick with RT2 & RT3! Here's my thoughts, for what they're worth: Technical difficulties: This might be just because of my old computer, but I've found RT3 incredibly slow...

To be honest, I can't remember if I did get gold on expert. I certainly did on hard, which is the level I usually test the games on - ("usually" - as though I'd done a million of 'em! ) I suppose I should test them on expert - thanks for the tip. I'm in the middle of testing an RT2 game ri...

Thanks, Silverback - I've tried it and that's what it is. Now I just need to find sufficient tyres to use up all that steel!

Auto Plants

I'm in the throes of testing a new map, which should be ready soon. It's a while since I played RT2, but I've noticed something I never could figure out. In the "resources" overview, the auto plants have a figure in brackets for steel, usually (20) but I've noticed it's variable. Does this...

Hi Hawk I've just sent you an e-mail with an unusual flag combination which I hope you'll be able to add to your collection. I wear this badge often, not as a political but a personal symbol, as ours is an Anglo-American marriage. I'd love to be able to have it as an avatar. Shame about the pictures...
