France Harder Version

Post by mojos » Mon Feb 15, 2010 10:30 pm

As part of my efforts to learn how to make my own map and give something back to the community, I decided to start by taking a stock map and adding more victory conditions and changing the existing ones to make it harder. This map is now definitely a challenge, but for experienced players it is probably not a major challenge. Getting a head start on the later scenario goals (isn't that the case with most maps) is of course the key to success. Since it's all stock parts, this should run fine on anyone's computer. However, I am new at this and if I've overlooked something or did something wrong, I'd certainly welcome some constructive criticism.

This is very well thought out scenario. Took me about 4 hours of playtime which is just right for a well spent evening. And you need to plan ahead, as Mojos says. I was worried about getting the $100M goal and missed the passenger traffic from Paris to Madrid. The original Firaxis scenario was not much, but this proved to be quite challenging. I started out with conventional track layout, (switches and such) but at the end of the first era switched over to dedicated tracks, one train per track.
This proves that a good scenario makes a good map, and I am looking forward to see more of your maps.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge! Perhaps I'll try my hand at harder versions of some of the other stock maps.

That looks a lot like how I did it too!
