This looks interesting but where exactly is your ftp site hiding

You have to download the "Download link" from the first post. It has been automated

Actually I can see why he might have been confused, you claimed it was offsite but it was embedded as an attachment. Also the download uses HTTP not FTP.

Aww there it is. I skimmed right past it thinking that was just a link to one of the attached pictures.

Can you not just embed that URL in the giant red text in the first post? Hmm trying to avoid bots eating limited site bandwidth maybe?

I have a more streamlined link now. Thanks to the Mrs.

unless i am missing something, there is no way to create students, which make geeks, which make outsource products, no cities produce students, and no industries available to build make an other product into students, the goals for part 2 of this scenario are incompleteable with no supply of students and no way to make them

You are right, the production chain got muddled up, but if you look at my post on the previous page, you can see the correct production sequence.

Thanks “efast”. I really appreciate it.
Gee!, did I design that spaghetti bowl??
I should have raised the Bridge cost to 1000X.

This is an easy map with plenty of money to be made, but the design and the long production chains mean that it earns my recommendation as a fun scenario.

Had a Midnapore start playing against 3 AI, so patents are in play. Also, I didn't build any new industries.

This map has minor niggles with the icons for some of the special passenger classes. Sometimes they show up as empty only when they are full. Students did that if I remember right. But these are small things and the map plays great.

On the subject of crashes on loading, I got a successful game-start load 3 out of 4 times. Saved games load perfectly, but the decorations, in this case the elephants etc. aren't reloaded. Gameplay after loading is crash free with an install setup right (1.1.0 patch and 3GB enabler).

Thought I would do a screenshot to show routing without using bridges except where there is an actual river. Note from the engine prices one can see that I am playing at Robber Baron. In contrast, efast's screenshot indicates engine prices found on Investor level. Perhaps time is a bit too slow on this map, but it's still a blast.
