If you are interested in history here is a Wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria-Hungary
The map is a 15X15 SAM. 96 turns/month.
The names of the cities are from a contemporary Rand McNally map, many of them changed several times during the span of the past 100 years.
There are three Eras, with three different scenario goals. It will be necessary to rearrange the rail lines.
The third Era is: World War I. It is a rather Since the game has 3 different Eras, with different goals, I made separate independent scenarios from each Era: Increased the duration WWI to five years (I changed it from 4, poetic license!) so you have to be prepared for the switch. Be sure to have empty building slots to “build a War industry”.

This is the Fourth Age of Tolkien’s Middle Earth.
You will note that the Hobbit and all the other small folks are rather peace-loving people, who are fond of two things: beer and gold.
The terrain is wild, there have been several catastrophic upheavals in the past, but the industrious people of the land overcame it and built passes through the un-passable wilderness and are prospering.

The game is a single player 12 X 12 map. There are scenario goals, but making money is not one of them. (The rush to make money always interferes with the proper track building) I tried to make a map to emphasize the smart track layout. The tunnels are very expensive, but there are on-grade passes through the mountains to make the track laying a possible. It is like building a model railroad. The time allotted for the scenario 4 Eras should be more than enough.

Alternative Universe UK is the first in Jancsika’s Alternative Universe set of maps. The map features the original stock UK map with new terrain and a new scenario.

Era #1 is the agricultural phase. There are two 9-step runs.
Era #2 is the industrial phase and there are two 12-step runs.
The resources are very limited, only one starting resource for each run.

You have the assignment from the United Nation High Commissioner to bring relief to this impoverished nation.
You are given 6 years to alleviate hunger, after that 3 years to restore industry, an finally two more years to bring in the tourist industry.
If you succeed your rewards will be great, but if you don’t; you will be fed to the lions….
To start with you are given a run down rail system, where you can buy a train for $1,000 or for $1,400, but the maintenance is $10,000 and $20,000. After the initial high cost you will have new engines with normal maintenance cost.

This is a 15 X 15 SAM map.
The scenario is performance oriented. The goals are to move a certain amount of goods from industry to consumers.
The duration of the scenario is 11 years, but there are 256 turns per month. The engine maintenance cost has been adjusted to reflect this. (Except the first few years)
