Random events appear like a huge problem, indeed. I suppose that they are based on a predictible sequence of numbers. The data used to calculate these sequences is called the seed number - probably generated according to the system clock. Perhaps it is possible to track down this variable during the gameplay, while making sure that everybody playing the scenario receives the same events at the same time.Brax wrote:I think it would be great to see how different people here would build on the same map. However, I would suggest against leaving the map blanked of industries. Yes it would be difficullt, but the problem is that the game then becomes one more of luck rather than skill, since new industries will appear randomly on different games, so wouldn't really be fair. For example, on Samyew's map, within 3 months a new power station was built within relatively easy reach of the coal mine. Whereas, for someone else, the coal mine might've closed down.
This should work, unless the player decides to construct a road where the factory is yet to come, thus radically changing the future without actually being aware of it. Would you define this as luck

Well, one way around the random industries is to fill it with a lot of industries (I know, that make things a bit easier) and then use a staeady economy with steadyindustries switch. That way, we know that all the primary industries will stay around the whole game for everyone. Again, maybe this makes it too easy, but at least it'll be easy across the board.
Of course, the perfect solution would've been a big multiplayer game (but then, the chances of getting everyone online at the the same time for a couple of days, would be unlikely)...
