I have my doubts about the - don't clear your trains tip too. I agree that in some cases you want all the time saving as possible, but with a low resource or a low production facility I tend to change the carts on the train just so I would give it chance to fill up again. Otherwise a very nice movie.

The file is 100MB but it's a 640x520 resolution. I think I compressed it in xvid codec so if you don't have th...

If the competitor is real close and I generate enough income I go for buying one of my stock, one of the strongest opponent's. If I am way ahead I just start buying the strongest opponent's stock. If he starts buying mine I try and have at least 1 more stock in his company than he does in mine.

I didn't do it :)
The guy I was playing against had a normal track layout from one town to another. The thing is that the train he sent from one town to another didn't leave the station at all - just kept generating profit for him. It's a bug...

animeguru - this reminds me of starforce problems - the cd protection software/driver that comes with the cd version of the game. Do you have daemon tools or any other cd emulation software installed? The not starting up crash can be caused by this. I have a dual core cpu and I've bought Railroads o...

serious MP bug - endless money

I've encountered this a few times myself (and been accused of cheating :/). A train with passengers doesn't leave the station - it just goes to and fro within one depot generating 75k per wagon in the matter of seconds. Savegame attached... From multiplayer game - hope that doesn't interfere with de...

I have found the connection of multiple tracks with signals to be a very tricky business. I just try to have 3 trains per town. The 4th train I resolve with connecting it's path to the route that takes the longest to complete of the existing ones and upgrading the depot to station/terminal to speed ...

Multiplayer strategies by Choo - track layout/ start strats

Multiplayer Railroads! has been a real discovery for me. I have been having a lot of fun with it, more than I ever expected. What strikes me as odd is that people are making a lot of mistakes in their track layout and strategies that I thought I post some of the things I have learned through playing...
