Tourist Centres and difficulty of building.

Post by mauried »

These industries are extremely difficult to build, other than by the Industry randomizer.
There are 2 major problems.
1/
There are 7 types of Tourist Centres all of which have differant requirements for them to be built.
In the Scenerio Editor you dont know which type will be built,so you have no idea of the requirements needed to build it.
Its basically try and try again in differant places and you might be lucky.
2/
In a game if you are trying to fund one the likleyhood of being successful seems to be dependant on how many other Tourist Centres are already on the map and which variety they are.
So again its mostly luck whether you actually get one to build or not.
There seems to be no obvious reason as to why these industries need to be so difficult to build.

It is assumed that each type of tourist centre represents a unique historical building. That's why you can't have two of the same type on the map. If it weren't unique, it wouldn't be much of a tourist attraction, would it? (The only exception is Casino Resort, as there can be two of them.)

Building a tourist centre is not that hard if you know what type you're aiming for and also know what terrain is required by that type. Fortunately, all of them are documented at the old wiki. If I'm not mistaken, each type of tourist centre requires a unique configuration of terrain, so you're actually guaranteed to get either the exact type you want or none at all.

In any case, the ECS industry set has been abandoned by its developers a long time ago. Regardless of what you and other players think about its deficiencies, an update is probably not forthcoming.

actually, it's the very opposite. you pick a tourist center you like to have, and then specifically prepare the ground to match its requirements. remember that you need to click on the north corner of the area to build an industry.

it's fairly straightforward if you know what you're doing.
