Found new town - Town Size
When founding a new town in an active savegame, why isn't it possible to select "Large" as Town Size?

Re: Found new town - Town Size
The idea behind "found a town ingame" was to allow to build a town - but that the player really has to work for it, if s/he wants to create a big source of passangers. Towns will grow, if you service them well.
The ingame town founding tool is not meant to edit the map and place towns here and there, but to give players an expensive means to create a "passenger industry".

Re: Found new town - Town Size
I was wondering about it too.
If it is not wished to found a big town, why just not remove the option then?

I fail to see the connection between lack of BIG TOWN funding and the removal of the feature.
People wanted to fund town ingame.
Cool.
There it is.
You want to remove it simply because what YOU think is important is not there?Come on...
Give yourself a little challenge and make it big!
Or.. are you afraid of a little challenge?

If you are not ready to work a bit for your ideas, it means they don't count much for you.

Re: Found new town - Town Size
I think JoyriderX was talking about the buttons for funding large towns. I can agree with that, but is it easy to code it? I get the feeling the code is shared with the scenario editor, but there is some code to disable some of the buttons.belugas wrote:I fail to see the connection between lack of BIG TOWN funding and the removal of the feature.

Hiding buttons is easy, since the GUI rewrite. Just somebody has to do it.
