Transport Fever officially announced!

[Vanryu]

You are pissed off an word in the main screen? Do you need some cheese for the whine?
When you don’t like the achievements than, well, don’t do it.

And the restrictions for the startyear has nothing to do with achievements. In many games you have these restrictions. “You must play through normal mode to unlock hard mode” is a text I see very often in games. The achievement ist just a little visible thing where you can see what you have done.

Well, after your first “suggestion” I really don’t read your followed points. I think there is nothing new.

So long …

@Yeol:
Yes, its really odd without playing trains cause this is the mainreason why i bought this game. ^^ But you have also a achievement that names “Truck fever”. So I do this and the achievement without extra-loans in by one game. 🙂
And you can edit your entry i think in the first 30 minutes after posting. The edit-button is in the same row as the date is. On the right side by the postnumber.

After I get this two achievment, I will play the way I want, with trains. 🙂

@killkenny1:
Yes, Mods are good, but in this point I think there must be come out a balance-patch. You should earn all achievements without installing some modifications. In this case, the cost-mod is like a cheat where you don’t have these problems and earn this achievement easily. But the intention of the modification is correct. The running-costs must be balanced, so i think.

So long …

First of all, sorry for my english, its not my mother tongue. 🙂

Yeah, hard mode with no extra-loans is a pretty big challenge.
I tried it very often, most of all with an early train-line, but the train sometimes suck all the money out of my pocket.

So I tried another aspect so as Yeol do.
First of all I searched one cargo-line that have a good position. Source is not too far away and two cities in middle-range.
I was supplying two cities with an busroute in there town. Giving these two cities the cargo-supply and wait.
Until I made up some money with it (the cargo-line was giving me a bunch of money) I started bus-lines between the cities. And this was the breakpoint. These busline was creating so much money, I could extremely spread out my business.
With the time, I replaced the busses with tram and don’t regret this decision.

Conclusion:
I think the running-costs for trains stand in no relation to the running-costs for bus/tram.
My example: Year 1920:
A train-line between two nearby cities. The running-costs for a “BR 75.4 Badische VI c” is up to 500k/y and maybe 3-4 trailer with 150k-200k/y. Together 650k-700k/y and I only get a frequency of 5 minutes.
A tram-line between the same cities, where i run 5 “Typ 1 Gothaer” with a running-cost of 27k/y or total cost of 135k/y I can make a frequency of around 80 secounds.

The same example can I make with Busses and early steamtrains in the beginningphase.
So, that pictures call more than thousand words, here a screenshot of my example with tram-lines. Note, the lines with “RT” (stands for regional tram :-D) at the beginning are the lines between the cities and have only two stops.

+1

I just played some hours on easy difficult for the first game and a large map and at some point, i just replaced a whole bunch of vehicles instead of creating new lines. Even a ride on a train to see my lines going was not easy to solve, because it was a very long time i was “driving” the train and some things showed up to do.

To establish new lines i must paused the game and that feels not really realistic in my opinion.

This feature would be very nice and an improvment for the game in my eyes.

So long …
