The start in Railroads! is most important. The sooner you get money flowing, the easier it gets. There is not much that could be done about it. Unfortunatelly goals for other eras could be started any time so the challenge of having only limited time to do it is not there either (except for the very first era). Add very different difficulty levels to the mix and you can see that if it is playable and winable on Robber Baron, everything else must be too easy by definition. So for competion, you could try to complete the goals as soon as possible. For example in my last testing, I have completed all goals starting from Odgen on Robber Baron in 1987, with some 60 million in cash and over 140 million of net worth. I am sure it could be done sooner. Maybe we should hold Hall of Fame for the scenario/difficulty combination.Baldur wrote: Okey, Universum. First step, don't care about bringing wood into Evanston. With 400,000 in starting money it's easy go connect the nearby "ruralities" to Green River. Because of the low production rate on industries, I did not care about track elevation when connecting to Evanston.
Finishing the first era was really not the main problem, the secong was the challenge. Within the last split secong I was able to deliver the last passenger. Overcoming the second era, the rest is easy. (No offence)
Difficulty level only controls expenses and income so it should not be reason for crashing if you were able to complete the scenario already. There may be some "random" crash (I have seen one or two myself when testing) so save every now and then to make sure you can restart if it happens. Also it tends to crash when you load saved game if you are already playing the scenario, it is better to restart before loading saved game again.Baldur wrote: The key is growing Salt Lake City into a metropolis.. as you know. And early on buying industries if possible.
And yes, I was lucky cutting track laying 25% early on...
I'll try this one on Robber Baron level - the Basin crashed.
Thank you again for a challenging scenario - the longer the better. It's nice seeing those dual locomotives, but what the heck... I've not seen no such for years, anyway.
ps. no screenshots of some of your requests because I owerwrite any game I play.

If you make it on Robber Baron, don't forget to post the saved game. And don't even try without more money, $200,000 and 30% of shares won't be enough to get you on the path to victory.
. It seems that 'best' solution evolves independently.
because most people opt for installer version.
