Smr Simple!

Bob, I haven't really been playing SMR. However, I have played RTD (Railroad Tycoon Deluxe) and I find your ideas quite applicable. From a post, I made at www.wargamer.com. Have you ever played RT3, by the way? Take care. Thanks. My skill is really improving in two key areas: (1) Building a profitab...

Many thanks, Bob, for your time. I will go through your notes and see if I can put these techniques into practice. No doubt, I am clumsy player, since I don't play much.

Bob, I played the other day; just against the AI. Now, I know you can run 16 trains into a station. However, I've been having problems with 6 trains in (2 X 3) and 2 trains out (2 X 1): (1) I alternate the inbound platforms to provide more room, but still trying to squeeze 3 tracks into the single p...

Bob,

Although not stated in your thesis, I think you must be literally be covering every inch of the map with RR tracks. Although I do think highly of you, this must be said. You, Sir, are certainly responsible as anyone is for Global Warming!

Bob,

Thanks, most kind of you. I printed the new material out and added it to my SMR collection of notes.

Have you had a chance to look at 1830? I am sure your analytical mind will appreciate the game.

Take care.

Bob,

I am haven't played SMR for a while and never online. For me, I consider SMR a light game to enjoy the visuals.

I've mainly been playing 1830 which is my favorite strategy game. See:

Once again, thanks for your help!

I have seen it written here that you always buy the largest networth opponent and not the smallest. By the way, I am playing against the AI. Well, I don't understand this except for the fact that the largest networth AI might have the greatest vesting in other RRs stock. It seems to me that the soon...

Well, I must say that SMR is beautiful to look at and watch your trains run. I've noticed one area where the game has actually advanced the financial model over the original game. In the original game, the AIs only bought your stock and you theirs (how many you could buy into at one time was determi...

I saw something in the Wiki about this. Does anyone change this? Does it make the game any better?

Thanks.

Darthdroid, I've only played the game a little. Not sure if ultimately I will put much time into it. However, it seems a good casual game. Well, I wanted to thank you for a number of posts you have made about track laying. When, I first got started with the game, I tried all types of fancy cross-ove...

Despite having got SMR (I also have RT3) a while back and played for a while, I have mainly been playing the original RTD (the VGA upgrade of RT1). I recently posted my strategy thoughts on the game and AI on a game developers discussion board. One thing that is obvious from this discussion is how m...

I played a couple of SMR games this week. I also played a couple of RTD games as well. I must admit that I just don't have the feel for what the style of play is in SMR; especially when compared to RTD. In RTD playing at Tycoon, I am trying to do a number of things: (1) Maximize the profits of my RR...

Okay. I got it resolved.

Turned out to be a firewall problem.

Thanks.

Whenever I try to use the Wiki to download map installers, I get the following error:

"Sorry but you are not authorized to view or download this Attachment"

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks.

Okay, I will look again. Thanks.
