New Sosaria - a fantasy realm

[CalmDragon]

In the age between Sosaria and Britannia, the ultima universe again discovered the magic of railroads. Be the best in this brave land. No custom content in this scenario. ReadMe file included. Enjoy the map!

15x15 in size.
Seven starting villages.
Several other villages to play with.
All with one industry each to start.
Simple economy, starting with mail.
Surrounded by water, resources located high and far, and low and close.

Played this map last night, must say that it starts slow, but builds quickly. Great landscaping on this little cash cow, and the AIs played well. all the hills and valleys cost a fortune in the beginning, not only in laying, but also on the older engines. Congrats.


EDIT 05/04/08 - 1850UT - I forgot to mention the New generation in Farm Animals. They can Fly. Never saw this stunt before.

The maps from the Ultima games vary so much, it's hard to pick one. I printed a map of the online version of the game and then searched the world DEM for something similiar. The greek islands looked interesting but I think I finally settled on distortion of central america with some galaxy effects of the gimp thrown in. Yes, sheep can fly. And so can the people if you remove the double tracks from a merged station:

Nice map, I enjoyed playing it...great job. I placed the file in a clean load and it ran smooth as silk all the way through. I had several bridges.

Are SAMs really that good? Man guess I'll have to install SMR again.

I must say, fun map, very stable and I can't get that Britan to grow.

This is a good time!!!

Great Job!!

Thx, and Britan is a tough cookie. It has a hospital, so the easiest way to make it grow up from a village is to send it chemicals and mail. Once it becomes a town, feed it passengers, manufactured goods, and food. It should be a city soon after that.
Working on scenario twists for the next map, the orginal maps are again proving to be a good resource.

Something you might try is using the same map, but changing the Scenario. all you have to have is a new Scenario XML written differently. If you want anything in different places, just duplicate the XML, like Cities, and add a number to the files name, changing it in the second Scenario file, which also gets the number added to it's file name and the name of the map.

Just wanted to bump this map to the top. It is fantastic. It's the only larger-than-standard-size map I've ever played in Sid Meier's Railroads! (15x15) that I can play from start to finish without a single crash. I don't know what it is (or rather what all the others are doing wrong), but this map is flawless. It also looks fantastic, is challenging, and the long stretches of track between cities is great fun.

Great map!!

It was a lot of fun to make and test. Glad it is bringing joy still.

What maps have you made? I think you've made this one, San Fran and Long Beach, is that correct?

Thanks again!

[CalmDragon]

Just those three, currently. May have another out in the summer.

I've also been a big fan of your work and would welcome a new map. C'mon summer!
