Rail Australia [Quenched]

[Kaplowitz]

I think you should mix up the resource pairs a little bit. Like have some in different continents to make it a little more interesting.

For example put the PHL Port in like KTN or something.

Oh dear Kaplowitz....that'd bugger the Australian mineral boom up completely.

Sorry, but the ports apply to the mineral areas that need the ports for export and the rails provide the links. Can't undo this reality.

put the phl port in the middle of the country...balmey, absolute shockers Kaplowitz....that's the worst suggestion i've ever seen you make. if you mean something different, then please explain away.

[Kaplowitz]

I meant like switch the colors a bit so that the matching ports+minerals are not in the same continent for some cases.

but i forgot accuracy!

sorry...but the corresponding colour mineral and port icons need to be in the same states.

As I said in qwert's topic. I can't see photobucket at my present location, the only thing I know for sure I can see is imageshack.us images. So while I suspect this is moveable, I need to wait tell I have time at a photobucket friendly location.

Sorry about the delay.

The rails between SYD and NWC are nearly impossible to see.

Several of the normal lines in the bottom right are really skinny, and orange is almost washed out.

can probably do something there....

what colour?

and orange is almost washed out.

that is tasmanian rail and i think you must be blind if you can see that orange...or are you talking about the south australian red.

[Night Strike]

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Both Tas Rail and Vic Rail have very skinny normal lines compared to the other colors (by the way, I'm defining normal as the non-long distance lines).

By washed out, I was meaning the orange line in the ocean is partially covered by the dark ocean color. The color itself is just fine.

How right you were with the thickness...my bad

The orange line from LNC to MEL is a sea ferry of connection of course so it is segmented dash.

Corrections in next version.. thanks

[Night Strike]

You call that a segmented dash???

It may look more like one once you thicken the line. I'll wait for the next update.

Suggestions:

Put a little ferry between launceston and melbourne.

Change the sleeper spacings or colours for different long-distance. Currently it looks like the indian pacific goes through adelaide towards melbourne. Different coloured sleepers on these tracks would make it easier to distinguish on a quick glance. Also a different spacing could also work, take out every second sleeper perhaps on the overlander.

With the territ list down the bottom, you need to be careful that people don't think you only need to hold the territories listed, state that all stations on the line are needed

I really like the new colour scheme. Very outback. Very aussie rail-scenery.

A possible change of kink/direction in the PGA-ADL link, or perhaps some bend, to show that it passes alongside the adelaide station then heads back up to BHL.

Perhaps you could put "termination point" graphics at the start and end of the legend, and then the on the stations? (not sure where they would fit...)

Should the WYA [P] be in the top right like all the rest? could you move the rail line slightly left to go past this? (i figure it's been moved cause it was covering up the rail?) this is a little pedantic, but hey!

Are you going to have an Apple Port in Hobart? How else will they run the Sydney to Hobart yacht race?

Anyway, there's a few balls to bounce about the table.

[cairnswk]

Thanks Tieryn...i'll see what i can do.

[Coleman]

I don't know why this was kept here so long. Sorry for my low activity.

[oaktown]

welcome to the foundry, yet again.

Question - to get the mineral-port bonus, do you just have to hold the two territories, or do you have to connect them? Because connecting them would make more sense, as the idea is that you're getting the goods to the port, but there are many, many possible routes in which you could connect them.
