Green Mars

The idea of the map came from Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy and it is one of the great science fiction books of our times. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_trilogy
Since NASA is planning for new Mars exploration it is still a very timely subject.
There are a lot of new industries. Solar energy, bio-fuels. No oil or coal or polluting industries. We have Mini-Black holes, bottled Sunshine to name a few.
Transportation is all electric.
The ground tolerance was adjusted, so there is no use for for the tunnels (they are expensive), there are no wood or trussed metal bridges.

All 14 Cities are villages and each has 3 industries already. Cities are not so near as in maps by developer, I mean how can you create junctions on track if cities are so near that sometimes even some length of train is in one city and rest in other. You get good amount of space to build tracks. Also terrain is mountainous and hilly. There are 4 starting locations at corners of map.

Neil Armstrong spotted it from the moon, but the Government, NASA and the CIA keeps it Top-Top secret
Not even the president is given this information:
The light bends around it, so it can not be seen from an orbital sattelite, gravity and magnetic field is also bend around it so navigating ships and airplains can not approach it.
UNTIL NOW.
Our own Mr Magoo discovered it that a ship built entirely from non magnetic, organic materials is not influenced by these forces and was able with his pickaroons to land on this island and plunder its enormas wealth. He found all the lost cities of the legends to be true, Cibola, Tartessos, Lemuria, they are all there.
This is 12 X 12 map but only nine cities. It emphasizes track layout not unlike a model railroad would. Tunnels and steel bridges are very expensive (100X), so you should avoid them. There is plenty of room between cities, so with a little foresight you can have a neat layout.
There is only enough building spot left to build the scenario-required industries. The lumber industry is strictly for filling empty building spots. There is no profit from them.
You can make enough money from hauling mail.
The cities produce passengers for industry needs, _oil,_mining _ but will not accept passengers, so do not try to haul passengers from one city to the other. It will not pay.

France Alternative Universe

As everybody knows, there are alternate Universes with alternate histories floating around. This world is but one of those.
I have just located one of those worlds and happy to show you a small part of that world that was revealed to me:
There has been a tremendous upheaval and explosion. All the volcanoes in Iceland and the Italian peninsula simultaneously blew up, fracturing and scattering the earth crust. Fortunately Paris has remained in the same spot, but parts of France were thrown all over the drained Atlantic and Mediterranean basins.
Your assignment is connect these cities and restore the French empire to its previous glory.
Unfortunately the British Islands completely disappeared.

If you are interested in history here is a Wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria-Hungary
The map is a 15X15 SAM. 96 turns/month.
The names of the cities are from a contemporary Rand McNally map, many of them changed several times during the span of the past 100 years.
There are three Eras, with three different scenario goals. It will be necessary to rearrange the rail lines.
The third Era is: World War I. It is a rather Since the game has 3 different Eras, with different goals, I made separate independent scenarios from each Era: Increased the duration WWI to five years (I changed it from 4, poetic license!) so you have to be prepared for the switch. Be sure to have empty building slots to “build a War industry”.
