Transcontinental U.S. Scenario is finished!

I just finished my Transcontinental U.S. scenario, it seems to be CTD free. The only thing that I have yet to implement are city-specific songs and victory conditions. Throw out a few ideas, folks, what do you consider to be important milestones of American Rail? Anyway, the map covers the entire US...

If a thread has a paperclip icon next to it, it's got an attachment. Most of the attachments in the Mods - Maps subforum are custom maps. Remember, you have to be logged in to view or download attachments.

stormfather - The placement of resources seems to be ok, tho as you have them placed, they're not Random, unless you're refering to your random placement. And everything seems to be evenly placed. And yes, you do have to at least allow every start location to be able to have a chance. For example, ...

stormfather - just playing it and I noticed a couple of things - All the start points seem to be situated near New York. The AIs are all rushing to get there and you get choked. I set it up taking Reading and Port Jervis off start and added Rochester, Burlington and Syracuse. One further north migh...

It's in the works; bear in mind this map is far from complete, I just posted it here to get a little help with a major bug. Im going to make the standard coal icon much darker and use that for coal, and then make the ore part silver, part reddish, for iron ore (Hematite.) It'll all be explained in t...

Well, it's 'Ore,' not gold ore, it represents Iron Ore. I'm definately going to clarify that before I release the map, at the very least by renaming it (in the same manner that Machinery is largely a renamed Autos) and changing the icon (something I believe to be within my rather limited capabilitie...

Hmm... I seem to have the same problem with the excellent British Columbia map found on these forums. It works fine, for solo play, but as soon as I load up an AI, it CTDs. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall my Railroads and see if that fixes anything. FOLLOW-UP: No change, I'm still getting CTD's...

Here's the scenario. There's a text file included within that explains what's been going wrong in further detail. Thanks for taking a look at it, I've been spending all my computer-time working on the scenario for days and I need a quick break from the XMLs and some help from some friendly experienc...

Does the game have a problem with pre-placed industries?

I'm in the last phases of building a scenario. So far, I've been able to fix all the bugs and problems I've run across. Recently, I placed all the out of city industries (using the Terrain Editor). I tested it, no problems. Then I placed all the in city industries. If I play it without any AI compet...

Some observations on passengers

I got pretty curious about how passenger lines work, so I started a new game on financier difficulty (which doesn't affect rates on income.) I experimented with a bunch of passenger lines and drew the following conclusions. All settlements had fully upgraded terminals; all tests were done without th...
