Re: Map Building Contest

Hi Folks, I have a map that I have just finished. I've been living with this for months. I have to build the upload file, but am not sure what size file you can take. What is the current upload file-size limit? I just need to figure out how many pieces I need to break it into. Thanks, Slider

Re: King_Coal SAM

Thank you. It was quite a learning experience. You will find a fair amount of change in difficulty depending on where you start. The tough part was trying to get balance between playability and difficulty. Anyway, thanks again for your kind remarks. Slider

Easy Event Images

Hi Guys, I confess I'm a newbie at this modding business, but I've been working on a map for a while and found this easy method for creating event images to match those in the original game. These would be the images used in the newspapers to announce the completion of a condition, or the announceme...

Re: ChicagoToTheRockies map; full Scenario Objectives and more!

Just finished my first run at this. Great job ChooChoo. This was my first attempt at running a mod. It's so nice when things go smoothly - especially for an old character like me. Thanks for your hard work. Slider

Stock issue

Hi Folks, I finished the game last night before I found these replies to my post. Sorry snoopy, no screen shot, but this was the deal. I was playing one AI. I owned 5 shares of my company and 5 of his company. He owned 3 shares of his company and 7 shares of mine. That makes 12 shares of my company ...

question on stock

Hi Folks, I've got a game going against an AI player. I hold 5 stock certificates in my company, and he holds 7. I thought there were only 10 for each company. I've looked at the readme, but I find no change listed there. Has anyone else run into this? Slider

Thanks folks

I appreciate the replies guys. Mikeyc, I suspect you hit the nail on the head. I'll bet this is firewall related. I have run into this once before, but the site I was trying to get something from never suggested that it might be security related, so I never did figure out where that file type was co...

I downloaded the installer for a map called Africa Diamonds and saved it. When I opened the file and ...
