Flagler's Florida

I made a new map for myself to use. After building it, I thought, maybe some others would like to try it.
It's a mid size map. I made the Scenario pretty easy, I think playing at Robber Baron is the best challenge. There is plenty of resources and places to take them.
If anyone has ideas to make it better, let me know. It's not really finished, but was a fun learning experience.
It's built to commemorate Henry Flagler, who brought railroads to Florida.

I played it and had a number of crashes. I finally got it up to Sept. 1869 when some auction was coming up and it crashed again, this time at the same place 4 more times, from a saved game. I ran 3 spyware/adware programs and found I hadn't done it for 2 weeks. 5 turned up. After that the map ran fine and I owned all 3 by 1916 with a worth of over $85,000,000.

Can this be called proff of one type of problem :roll: :D :wink: :idea:

Great map.

I told you it was an easy map. :)

Would anyone that downloads this map and gets a crash, please post that you crashed. Please, like Snoopy, make sure you're not running any spyware/adware that might cause the crash. Crash info is only helpful if you're running a clean machine.

Thank you very much. :)

Ran this map just fine, absolutely no probs. Even had it paused for 2+ hours while attending other business. Lots of food. :shock:

So far, so good.
Been running all morning with no problems.
The only mod I have is the tender cars.

About half way through it CTD. How can you get the reference to the TenderCars out of the TrainCarsXML with out it crashing? I also see some city's demand "Coal" And there are no coal industry's would that cause a crash?

Almost any time you edit a map your previous saves will crash. I say 'almost' because someone will have a time it doesn't. A saved map has certain things happening. If something to do with one of those things is changed, the game can no longer do it, and it just has software breakdown! :shock: Talk to it nicely, apoligize for confusing it, and start the map from scratch. This poor game has enough problems...........

All reference to the TenderCars needs to be removed. The only time you should see a breakdown having to do with Tenders is when you set up a train. One problem could be the Events XML. It's universal. And the lack of Coal shouldn't cause a problem since you dont have any to begin with. The ZIP below has the changes needed and the Events XMl for this map. Just replace the existing ones with the ones in the ZIP.

As this is a test, I notice that the poor towns have to produce Food for 20 years before being able to ship it anywhere. And what they do produce goes out the back door.

Thanks snoopy. Yea I see that you can only supply food and other stuff to not many city's but I can run the duals on it now, but couldn't before. :)

Has this map been finished and can I use it without the game freezing or crashing my computer.
