I don’t get why you would put resources and or cities so close together. You have so much wasted room, I don’t I am sorry but it started to look good and then went totally down hill.

What a fantastic map, have not beat it yet, i’m still a noobie at SMR but it’s very compelling. Nice work.

There is a trick to completing those 600 passengers 🙂 Read above!

I tried again, from Kigoma.In 1898, Dar es Salaam was connected with Dodema, Kigoma and Tanga (Dodema early), and passengers was transported, and all AIs were absorbed. But dont have time to transport 600 passangers 🙂

Have not tried 3Gb enabler solution. I’ve read about it, but not yet realized. If this work i’ll try from another starting cities

Pretty impressive – glad you like the map! Did you try the 3Gb enabler solution to minimize memory problems? This is a pretty big map, and scrolling across it at speed can be dangerous 🙁

Thanks for challenging and interesting map. i tried at baron from Uvinza, and completed all conditions except “600 passengers from Dar es Salaam”… Unfortunately, i have this map often crashes, so I had to often be saved and loaded)

Thanks for the tip Karsten. I get it now. I may want to use that looping trick in another map.

Hi TMiller, many thanks for your insightful comments. 🙂 You are right, there is no way that Dar es Salaam could generate 600 full passenger loads during the time provided in the Uganda scenario. BUT … check out my tips here to deliver the 600 passenger cars anyway!

Tried again at Investor Level with no AI’s. Was able to meet all victory goals with no problems except the 600 passengers to be delivered from Dar es Salaam to Kigoma, Tanga and Dodema. Dar es Salaam did not generate enough passengers during the last 60-70 years of the game to meet the objective even though it was a Metropolis the whole time. I was only able to deliver a total of 354 cars of passengers to all 3 cities combined. The most challenging task was moving the oil from the northeast corner of the map to Mombassa and arms from Mombassa to the stated city required running 3 trains each, over a long line with sidings for passing trains. This is a very interesting map and fun to play, but you may want to reduce the number of passengers originating from Dar es Salaam. Unless I did something wrong, it can’t be accomplished unless maybe you have to start moving passengers to only these 3 cities from the very begining of the game. I moved passengers from Dar es Salaam to Ruvu during the early part of the game. Nice Map.
