Marketing....there is nothing better than a picture to advertise. People can see a text link but not use it. If they see a picture they like, they will go in search of it, and perhaps find other interesting things on the way. How many times have you done this in surfing the net. Unfortunately, CC doesn't give a lot of space to do this in one's signature block to make the links also, so i choose to use the pictures, and this also allows people to note there has been changes to the maps as they develop. :)

A sneaky suggestion - but for the clocks - why don't you make them read different times - in accordance with their Time Zones... I guess this suggestion could be made for Rail USA?!

Thanks yeti_c
As most of the timetables are available for MOST of the routes including the first Orient Express, I will be adjusting the clocks to read those times in each city.
It has been done on the USA map already I beleive. :)

I see you got some good bonussen for a quick look, althou 1 thing, you call the railroad of Paris - Brussels - Amsterdam - Hamburg (Copenhagen too?) the "Brabant Express", me being from belgium and thus the neighbourhood know that Brabant is a small region, around Brussels. perhaps another name? Like "Benelux express"?

Thanks for that onbekende. I got that name from a railway timetable of a journey that run from Paris to Amsterdam ( I extended it for gameplay to Hamburg), but your suggestion is very good and I will change it to Benelux Express next version.

could you add the colours to the Brussels station? It just makes it easier to look at bonuses and such.


One thing I have noticed is that the Copenhagen to Hamburg appears to be the only place where two different coloured rails connect by rail instead of stationwise. It's probably not bad, but just thought I'd point that out to give you some trouble! Well actually wanted to make sure it was on purpose.

edbeard this latest version 5 should address those issues...hamburg has been turned into a three station terminal...thanks for picking that up.

Morning cairns and how are you on this fine day. Ive circles a few on the little issues ive seen currently.

Image

MRS: Shouldn't it be two colors since its from two different lines?

HAM, SPG and ISL: These stations seem to be missing posts? on either end of where the armies numbers are placed.

Also the red area ive circles i seem is empty a could use a little something to fill it up :wink:

EDIT: SPG's font isn't bolded :)

Gimil...oh my...i'm not doing very well am I? :cry:

Anyway, in the image above (refresh your browser) i've fixed those circles issues with the exception of the Ukraine area, would you like to see another station in there? or perhaps an image.

I am going to pull all the tert names into a layer and get them all the same in the next version.

Thanks. :)

Gimil...do forgive me...evening to you! I'm pretty tired actually after a long day at work, and working all weekend on this one, plus other stuff.
Hope you have a fine day, nice fresh eyes you have. :) :wink:

The Ukraine area isn't really a big concern just think it would be niev to have a little something there. A station might work. But to be honset im not to bothered :D

OK...I've found LVUV and ODESSA for that area, but I'll have to reconfigure the rail lines to include Budapest. That will fill that area nicely and the Urkraine will become a large continent.
