« on: July 30, 2012, 11:17:09 am »
yup, at least in 1 thing we all agree, in reduce "town_growth_rate" as a balance trying (in other topic)... and I'll suggest it for #5 too

Lot's of resources, fast trains = easy game.I don't want easy games for some when others had lots of work... "Points system" was the original subject and since that's directly connected to server balance, Batt, what's your suggestion(s)?

« on: July 25, 2012, 11:03:28 pm »Myhorta is right. Btw St2, i don`t agree with Found_Town=0 because if you start the game in 2000 (after 40 years) the number of industries dramatically decreased so basically you need to fund industries and you can`t start searching all over the map on where are the places where industries dissapeared so you can fund a new.It`s simpler to fund a town and then fund an industry even if...it`s quite expensive. However, i would agree with Town Growth Rate decrease.Only to clear out my opinion/suggestions:
As for Geert`s complaint, i would advise him to record his data more accurate (no of trains, duration of game, duration of his company.......) and the answers will come themselves
- lets seperate primary industries from secundary industries among other important things:
* primary industries decrease production because not served... if on the "delete" level, they'll disappear, as you noticed and I've warned you about a situation - it's a "some" random code stuff --;
* -- Same random stuff that makes a 0 pop town grow up, even if have 5 named stations transporting coal; (this parts are funny, but real
)* secundary industries disappear after some time if not served;
* if you start late, where do you have cash to fund a town and a industry to get a propper profit, as you stated?; (lets NOT give unfair advantages to late starters - they started late... must adapt to the game);
* continuation of the previous point: what you build for late starts? Pax service! (hope you're getting my point now);
* it's not other players fault that you'd started in late years, with all advantages of new trains (actual loan allows you that). So, lets try to make game with some advantage to older companies (logical) but with oportunities for new companies;
I could continue and give many reasons... but no need, i think...

then i'll add a new suggestion option:
- decrease the town_growth_rate value (can be combined with previous ones, not exclusive)
meanwhile, "lazy games" was a expression used at the moment... I make them a lot too
my intention here is to balance things (for now, passengers are totally unbalanced) and I'm not against your station's style but i can't agree with all roads around the town's original ones. Or we can create a exception: - 50% of free space don't count on small towns!
now I'll use Batt's words: "other players can't place the station as great as he did" <<-- this is unfair, when you think that actually happens in towns and industries.

« on: July 25, 2012, 06:28:48 pm »in my last game I didnt fund any towns so I ''used'' the mapI still have to disagree on this:
the town you see there was only really small when i started my stations there so thats not the point
and with the system i use I dont ''own'' more then 50% of a town like the rules state
If i build 2 stations like that on any other city without using tunnels like other people do!! would that be better?
- If was a small town and you've built all those roads around it - trusting the original town roads was max 9x9 tiles, viewable in the center - isn't it more then 50%?
So, this is preciselly the point (or one of the...)

some types of "lazy" games are only possible because found_town = 1. This create a gameplay where players don't adapt theirselfs to the map (towns/cities in this case) making only some towns like this and tracks connecting them (imo, this layout makes difficult a effective competition on towns). Don't have a clue if it's possible to adjust the formula for this, only saying how it's possible to make "lazy" games...
So, maybe the solutions could be:
- xOR finds a way to balance the formula (I've no ideia how)
- Change to found_town = 0 (personally I don't like to "only" disable things... but it's a option) - Edit: The same principle applies to #8)
- Forbid town founding in player own roads and/or somehow avoid the "town cutting" stations
For now this is what i can think off. Other ideias are welcome
