U.F.O.s

Post by Phillip Michael Jordan »

HI
Wow today is my day for revelations ;-)
Well you know UFOs ONLY land on YOUR Rails... They do that every few minutes. And just now one landed on my rails, near the AI's rails. And guess what happened! My rails got blown up but the AI's didn't! OK you might know that already but I didn't, so anyway I posted it...

UFO disasters is one of my most hated features of TT. It is so annoying
seeing a brand new road vehicle blown up. You buy a new one, then its zapped
again, you buy a new one, then its zapped again, you buy a new one, then its
zapped again, you buy a new one, then its zapped again, you buy a new one,
then its zapped again.

Later in the game they pick on your railways. I remember one game, without
fail the UFO would land on the same piece of track time and time again.
Aaaaaarrrrggggghhhhh!

Sorry just had to get it off my chest.

I read that if you stop a train on top of the UFO (trains can go straight
through them!!) when the UFO explodes, the track covered by the train is
okay and the train is also untouched.

Regards,
Steve.

You could always turn the disasters off, of course.

As you say, they are amusing the first time round, but after a
while the joke wears thin.

You copy and pasted that didn't you?!

Hmm...The only thing you can do is to 'park' your train right underneath the
UFO...As the train is left unaffected the amount of trank destroyed is less
than it would have..

And what did you expect of the AI?
Did you REALLY expect it to kill itself?
You'll notice that in the Sub-Tropic, the UFO only picks on YOUR
vehicles......

Wow....You should use a crowbar......B-)

Oh...I just said that...B-(

Of course, that's what it is for. Although I'd typed it about three times
before I realised could use the cut and paste.

That's what makes it even more annoying, it never happens to the AI.

Sometimes the AI runs over it's own road vehicles with trains. Ha ha ha!

Steve.

how about once every 5 years [about the time you get a disaster] you can
inflict one on the AI, cos thats what they do to you, hehehe
