I can't imagine the real version of the game missed a random map generator, I think that was just a cap in the demo.

No their wasn't random map.
Their were arround 30 diffrents pre-defined cities and that's all.

Most of pre-defined cities were small ones, only 5 cities were looking interesting. (more than 20 000 inhabitants)

Demo game was complete, but game was automatocally end at year 2 or 3, I don't remember (can play for 1 our 2 year only)

My biggest fear is that transport giant would not use random map :(

I'm speaking about Traffic Giant, the game where you manage buses, trams and suburb trains.

You are limited on only pre-defined maps, so I think it's a very bad thing.

So as Transport Giant is from the same compagny, I hope Transport Giant will not reproduce this error, and would have a random map feature.

As someone said on the forum, it seems they are working on it. Hoping... ;)

Where could we find it ?
I don't know. Talk to rob14, I got it off him.

Did you read the subscript? A town somewhere in the Wild West. What do you expect of a town in the Wild West? Skyscrapers? If you look carefully you might spot a carriage, so that sets the date to around 1850. They didn't have much nicer buildings by then and towns weren't much bigger too.

Their are 500 differents buildings in this game, so I think that would be more various than TT.

But a game is a game, you can't do each building to get different...
