This is a 15 x 15 SAM. The whole design is based on Rodea’s West Sumatera scenario. All of the new industries that are in Rodea’s map are in here. New industries, new graphics of the old industries (much better looking). Originally this was a CIC type design and I have converted it to SAM.
Rodea created new industries, trains, traincars. There are new Ports, Offshore oil rigs, Corn fields, Cotton fields, Apple orchards (was Rambutan), Peach orchards, Bank and a lot more.
It is a very challenging scenario. You have to fulfill some difficult production quotas.
There are three different Eras with different goals. You will have to watch the track layout and probably relay them at least twice.

A 10 X 10 map. 64 turns per month.
Single player, with emphasis on industry.
This is a primitive and wasteful society to start with. They are cutting the precocious forest and burning them locally in their villages to produce energy. They also have a scheme to produce paper, but it does not go anywhere. The paper just will not materialize. Every village will start with its small power plant and a papper mill. These are filler industries to occupy building slots. In order to build a new industry you have to grow them to City. There are only enough empty building slots to satisfy the Scenario requirements.

The food chain has six steps from Oil to Food. Fertilizer will increase production of Grain and Grapes by 150%. Without fertilizer the farms and vinyards are only 50% productive.
After the population has a satisfactory food supply, the tourist industry will pick up. Gambling and good hospitality will bring gold.
Next you will have to build heavy industry. This is an eight step process from Taconite Mine, Iron, Steel, Automobiles, Scrap Metal, Machinery to export.
Lastly, develop fine craftsmanship and export your Chippendale for shiny gold.
The landscape is extremely mountainous; you will have to find gradual routing, because the tunnels and bridges are expensive and also ugly.
