Long narrow maps
Does anyone else play long, narrow maps? I sometimes play a 512x2048 or even 256x2048. It means a few of loooooooooong multi-use rail lines and heavy use of air for passengers, but its fun and changes the game dynamic.
Re: Long narrow maps
I believe either STD or Emperor Jake plays some particularly interesting long, narrow maps.

Re: Long narrow maps
I don't have much of a reputation here, but I prefer playing long, narrow maps. Like you said, I make a central mainline that traverses from one end of the map to the other and slowly connect everything on the edges. My current map is 4096 x 1024. I don't know why, but somehow the game is more satisfying played that way...
Here is my screenshot thread! Check it out if you like FIRS!

Re: Long narrow maps
I do once in a while to simulate playing a coastal or lakeshore rail line, especially when I want to say, play the East Coast (North East Corridor/Acela) or Southern Ontarios lake shore (play the Windsor to Quebec City Corridor or GO Transits lakeshore lines)oftcrash wrote:Does anyone else play long, narrow maps?

Re: Long narrow maps
Those long, narrow maps can be quite fun when you want to go for long-haul stuff. On coop we played a few times very narrow ones, like 2k x 256 or even 4k x 128 or so - big fun

Yeah it is quite interesting to set up a bunch of multi-headed trains, especially for drag freight to carry all that coal or ore to its destinations.
