Re: Hello!

alternate alternate USA and Costa Calida I did exactly as you did, but it doesn't bring up the new maps. I know this is a silly question, but do you mean "Alternate USA" or "Alternate Alternate USA" ? The last one is one of mine - !facepalm! sorry! I'd forgotten all about it, an...

Re: Hello!

Hi, I reproduced the problem with Costa Calida. It doesn't show up in the ordinary list, but it does if you put it in the 1.06 game. Steam doesn't recognise 1.06 as we made it ourselves, so that must be why it's not there. Not sure about the other one - is that a 1.06 map as well?

Re: Spanish Mainline

Wasn't it an intriguing storyline? Naturally I supported the Cubans, though I thought it would be the wrong thing - really surprised at the king's reaction. I'm not much of a player, really, more interested in creating new scenarios. So I'm working through the Coast to Coast games that I haven't pla...

Re: Hello!

I think it must be a Steam thing. I just tried to reproduce your problem. Downloaded a map, put it in the maps folder. Opened RT3>Single Player>New Scenario. Click on "Map" button to see drop-down and there it is! Not sure how Steam works, is it something like this? Added: Which maps have ...

Re: General Strategy Guidelines I Found Useful - Feel Free to Discuss

Just dragged out Spanish Mainline for a quick look. It's a fairly small map (448 wide). The terrain is gently rolling. You only have to connect two cities. They are only about half the map width apart. You have 25 years to do it. You start the game with $1,640k in cash. You can boost that to almost...

(*!!wel Matthew! Good to have you with us. I've just started playing again after spending a lot of time working on my family tree, another activity that becomes obsessive! Any questions, ask away. One of us will be able to help I'm sure. !!howdy!!

Re: Hi there

Hi Irfan, welcome back! I came back after a long time and found that Trainmaster was up and running - the logical extension of the 1.06 patch. Give it a try if you haven't yet. I've been AWOL for a while doing my family tree, but that should end in a few weeks' time. I'm intrigued by your questions,...

Thank you. I'll have a look at it when I have more time. I'm just the opposite, we should make a good team. I love writing scenarios but not very good at making maps.

Re: Warrington Wire - Spoiler, only read after playing !!!!!

The events that award points are called "Cities 5, Cities 10, etc.." These were always one-time-only events (check the campaign version for yourself if you like). In other words: you can only earn the point for connecting 5 cities ONCE. Yes, that's the problem - those events only work whe...

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/ - we're preparing an article for publication, but I think we'll be inclined to look somewhere else if they insist on stuff like that. I'm waiting for them to confirm that they even accept British spellings. If not, their loss will be somebody else's gain - I'm not g...

Re: Warrington Wire - Spoiler, only read after playing !!!!!

Ready to re-do the game now. Before I do, a couple of things - 1. The new company set up "by magic" was amazing, but didn't actually prove much of a challenge, it was easily disposed of. Obviously up to you whether to keep it or not. 2. This latest map is spawning steel mills - do we want ...

Re: Warrington Wire - Spoiler, only read after playing !!!!!

This is what edbangor said about multiple companies in the original thread "it was always my intention for the AI to only have one go at starting up so that won't be an issue later on." But I don't see anything wrong with a judicious mixture of re-creating the original and adding new featu...

On this map, as it is in the campaign, we see "issues" with Warrington actually not being "connected" according to the game (the yellow message that hovers when placing/viewing a station) by the pre-placed Warrington Bank Quay. In the original if the player didn't upgrade Warrin...

Well, I'm more than bewildered now, I'm absolutely flabbergasted !!!!!!!!!! How are you able to sidestep the "special conditions" on not starting multiple companies, or do they only apply to human players? I can't find an event that made it happen, but I'm lost in admiration! Second compan...

Re: A few small changes.

Well, what a coincidence! "big dog" is a cheat code that gives your player $10m. I would only ever use it when testing a game, of course, which is why the !*th_dwn*! No other implications intended. !*kiss*!
