My first thought was what am I doing different than him. In this case we were running two identical passenger/mail trains to the same two cities. The only difference was he had spent more money to lay the track and both his stations were the smallest ones. Whereas I had one small and one fully upgra...

Somethings' fishy

This happened to me recently. I was playing a multiplayer game against one person who I'd played before. He was always able to generate more money faster than anyone else playing each time I played him. From the begining I ran a track from my starting point to a nearby city and started passenger/mai...

Yes it's possible they are good players, which they are. But the money they earn flows in faster than it should. With fewer resources to pull it in from. I've watched a few players who start in a small town with little resources nearby and they just earn a lot of money that I can't see how it's poss...

Multiplayer skills

After playing this game online it appears to me a few folks are much better than others. To the point where perhaps they can somehow cheat. I've sat back and watched a few people with 4 or less trains and not much else generate huge revenue on the finance screen, whereas observing play on the main s...

trains wont run

I dont have the "wait until full checked" for goods. I have toggled it just to see if it made any difference. Yesterday I tried a couple of single player games and in one I could get a cattle train to slaughter house one working ok. At the same time I had a passenger train that sat after one run. Th...

trains wont move

I really dont have a restore point to go back to.. I've checked for viruses and spyware. All clean. I've updated my video drivers. I've shut down as many background services as I can and still this wont work. Usually a passenger train will make one run to a station then it wont return. Non passenger...

trains wont move

I'm having the same problem. I had been playing this game for a month or so without much trouble... I came back and now my trains just sit at their loading points or make one run and freeze.. My money keeps draining though. I have shut down all virus scanners etc.. I did a frsh install of the game a...

Speed vs Quality

There is a sense of urgency in online play. But the one thing you can't control is where you start. They guy who starts in a town with little or no resources nearby is at a big disadvantage. I've seen where people will leave within a minute of the game starting because they were at such a situation....

Terminal

Recently I played a multiplayer game where one player did nothing. After awhile he left the game. The AI took over and did nothing as well. All it had was the orginal terminal and starter track, nothing else. I bought the AI out and was able to connect my track to the former AI track, but I couldn't...

Suggestions

I agree with BIGGER maps and cities further apart. Ability to zoom further out. Laying double track from the start as well. Ability to sell any industry you've bought. Also would like the ability to upgrade more than one engine at a time to a newer one. Of course fix the bugs. I 've had on more than...

Stocks

If I own all of my stock and the price button shows 0 then I shouldn't be able to be taken over. But it happens and I end up with zero. Even in the most hostile takevoers the original owners are due something. I've seen guys selling their stocks in order to raise money to but out someone else. When ...

Stock

I've played and have bought all of my company's stock to where the price will show 0 on the buy button. So if I own every share of stock I shouldn't be taken over or bought out, but it has happened. And I'm left with nothing. This makes no sense to me. Even in the most hostile take over the orginal ...
