Theres always someone thinking of you

This is slightly related so I thought I'd quote this.

What about the four stations with multiple paths? I'm not saying they definitely should have all the letters on them, but I think it warrants discussion.

Everyone station except these four have the letters. Obviously players will see this as significant and hopefully will pay more attention, but is it too much to ask for them to figure out what rails these stations all represent?

Sorry I don't quite remember how the stations will appear in the XML, but can this be counted on? Probably it should be visually quite clear. I'm not saying it's not clear but obviously I wouldn't be posting this if I didn't feel this could confuse a good amount of people.


BTW, the stations I'm talking about are

KLN
VEN
FLN
SOF

Like what you did with KLN, VEN, FLN, SOF.

Why not do that with HAM, LON, IRN, MRS (the married station!:)), NCE, ROM, ATH & IST too?

Did I miss something in an earlier post? Seems to me that this would clear up quite a bit of space, add some consistency, and really make the "don't attack across the tracks" rule even more obvious (ie. LAU is layed out differently than VEN, therefore the rules at that station are different).

i also prefer OSL for oslo, as i think OSO looks odd, but can live with that one. all other station codes seem to have logic.

at least "badapest" has now disappeared from the xml!

is it possible to line up the continent names on the bonus key?

Is there a reason that there are no connecting lines/rails?

also one curiosity question for the orient express line.

here's an image found on wikipedia:



as seen in the image you chose the green orient express route. and this puzzles me because normally i would have went for the original route. i'm not asking you to change it cause it disrupt the current gameplay. but i'm just curious.

one more thing i noticed. in the important gameplay box, BUD has the 3 colours on it and on the map id doesn't

Mmmm, i think you missed something in the game play....those 4 stations like florence have only one army on them

the others have two or three armies on them therefore have to be shown that way.

London is the same as Los Angeles in RAIL USA except because there are more european stations they have to be laid out vertically instead of horizontally.

How/Why did you decide to do KLN & BER (for example) differently? Is there a real life reason behind this, or just for variety in game play?

Lookin' gooooooooooood!

Uh oh...

Just noticed that in the large map legend for L: Trenitalia there is no bonus.

There are no bonuses listed in the small map legend.
