how about some more disasters for those who love them... some even accuring on certain dates..?

Riots
"Accidents"
Town to town warfare?
Gangs
Earthquakes
Fires

Fun stuff...

Great, and they will mess up the competitors and cities to.
That doesn't happen now.

And they can kill youre trains, not only youre rails

Yup, though u'd get a warning of sorts...

Most disasters only destroy some of your infrastructure. I was thinking of different kinds of disasters.

Maybe a disaster that halts industry production. Strikes maybe. Fires on refineries/factories.

When people are pissed on you in some cities, they may blockade some tracks/roads.

I think disasters should be disabled one on one in the patches configuration. For example, I like the truck hijacker aliens, but not the track landers.

just my 2c

What about derailments and signal failures??

Signal failures would be too hard! Think, it can destroy two of your trains... And in hard mode with 3 train it wouldn't be a funny disaster

Well, it is supposed to be a disaster, isn't it?

You could pump more money into maintenance, and that wouldn't hapen, but you could also choose to barely or not maintain them, but then that would be way more likely... Eh?

rail maintence fees too/ derailment!

You'd have a slider somewhere

Waait... Thats a bit messed up.

Spend more money, less safety? Thats what the slider shows.

He propably means "low costs"

Code: Select all

Costley, Safe | - - - - - X - - - - - | Cheap, unsafe

Yep, although I would flip it (cheap = to the left, costly = to the right) But that's only a tiny detail

Speaking of safety - Would it be possible to implement "anti-crash" technology? Like you have this slider and when you move it to "most safe" (= most expensive), an algorithm would apply preventing crashes. Something like this:
Train will look some squares ahead the route it plans to go and if it finds no signal + square occupied by other train, computer will automatically give stop order to that train and send you a "crash warning".

Of course, that should increase the maintenance costs significantly

What about insurance? That shouldn't be too complicated to program.
We could have more drastical(and funnier) disasters, then....

You'd just have to convince insurance agent that your vehicle was really destroyed by aliens

Now this is a perfect example off why I don't like you, you disagree and ???????????
You don't say why you disagree
But this realy is how how exist, you like to ping pong, don't you

There must be option:

Bribe aliens to attack opponent
LOL

Disaster:Doomsday
What it Does:Destroys all tracks, buildings, road, industries on the whole map, a chance to start again without restarting map(also a way to clean map of opponents..)
What Triggers it:If map is more than 85% filled with railroad tracks or road(not accounting city owned roads)
