A horse wagon travels at 15km/h, and in 1 day ingame it travels aproximatly its own length along the road. This means the horse wagon is 15×24=360km long and travels 360km per day. (assuming this game ignores sleeping/resting along the way). It takes 2 years to travel back and forth between a oil well and refinery in 1850 and they are pretty close on the map. This is 131’400km in one year (one way). This means that the map size must me a lot more than this in both lenth and height.
I think you guys just need to play on normal speed and zoom in a bit, and realize the size of the maps 😀
This shows that From South in Spain too up north in Norway is closer together than 2 average towns currently are in train fever. Only 5300km.
