I'll be removing it in a future update since people keep treating it like its froze and just leave it for windows to handle. The progress bar doesn't actually show progress and thats why I have it hidden from the install process as its misleading, but at this point I don't see a better way to install it.

4k Emp:BFD?! 🥹

The answer is aggressive stock buyback thanks! The miscellaneous expense went to 89k one month at that AI company. It's a 3% fee for stock buyback 89/3*100=$3,566k which was the decrease in cash I was seeing. Thank you for the map editor suggestion. The map editor is less intimidating than I anticipated. I think next testing should be what changes to the map editor fix this issue. Map settings of note on the africa map: no assuming chairmanship, there is limited track building, computer ai is conservative in track expansion and aggressive in payout/stock buyback. The default having aggressive payout/stock buyback in computer ai makes this scenario much easier than Heartland. Extra info, Here is a list of things I can see that do not make up for the loss in cash: balance sheet jan 1st 2006 cash $1,869 buildings $1,464k land rights $0 track $1,642 trains $1,600 industry investment $0 Equity $6,575 stocks 254,000 shares outstanding trains: db18201 age 5 years age 5 years age 5 years age 1 years track cells remaining 271 Compare to in December when profits that year are 1,757k and annual cash flow due to dividend is -137k (most likely the dividend from dec hasn't been issued, so real amount might be around -120k) balance sheet dec 2006 cash $812k buildings $1,464k land rights $0 track $1,642 trains $1,600 industry investment $0 equity $5,519 stocks 211,000 shares outstanding trains: db18201 age 5 years age 5 years age 5 years age 1 years track cells remaining 271

Probably the cash reduces by agressive stock buyback and or dividend payout rather than by expansion. Check settings in the map editor and look at the companies books during play to confirm.

Is the AI buying industrial sites?

I'm noticing something strange on the Africa after the flood scenario. I'm wondering if this has something to do with the map settings made by the creator? I haven't explored map creation yet, so was hoping someone else might have an idea. On a normal heartland scenario, the AI company will build up cash if there's no place nearby to expand towards. (e.g. AI company has $1.6 million cash at the start of 2040 and a profit of 1.2M in 2040. In 2041, it has a cash of 2.8M) On the africa after the flood scenario, the AI company to seems reset its cash each year after reaching about $1-2 million in cash. For an example, an AI company will have 1.6M cash at the start of 2005 and a profit of 1.2M in 2005. However in 2006, the cash decreases to 1.4M and it doesnt buy industries/trains/track/stations (there is no expansion). Things I've looked at: I tried buying the companies to see if it was replacing enginges, but all the engines were from the year they first appeared/expanded.

Bought a new "secondhand" computer with windows 11 this is my first time using Windows 11, Had issues installing Dune2000 while the install attempted to setup and install .net 3.5 to work around this issue i. Win key plus X and started Terminal "Administration" then enter the command below. The install of .net 3.5 took over a hour but you could see it progressing so i walked away and allowed it to finish once finished Dune2000 GruntMods Edition 1.6.5 worked. powershell -WindowStyle Hidden -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName NetFx3 -All Hope this helps others installing .net 3.5

Ah yes.... 7 years later. Here are some changes, not chronological though: They added heroes. 5 each faction so far. It will be 6 soon. For money. They reduced the size of infantry, systematically they are now half that of a vehicle. Ingame money crate collection is no longer a tap, but a wait instead. You can upgrade this with a skill card. They changed the skill points into skill cards. For money. They did a lot of balance updates. At one point, they added a lot more upgrades per unit. For money. Premium can only be bought. For money. Re-roll keys, so you can exchange a bad crate opening. I was part of the Youtube program for 2-3 years. Since I was not allowed to share promocodes on a regular basis. I didn't grew my channel that much. Due to intensifying of my work, I had less time and energy for making video's. I finally managed to get my streams working. But it seemed to be too late. Eventually, I was not part of the Youtube program anymore. This demotivated me more. Also, my clan was hardly playing. I changed clans, and voila, the old clan suddenly lost half its members. Not sure yet if I ever return. One last time, I streamed with a promo-code that I asked for a special event. "my last stream". It got me 40 new subscribers that unsubscribed in the 2 weeks after. Just indicating how toxic the greedy community is. Now my number of subscribers remains stable between 1290 and 1300. I play a lot of other games nowadays. I play for fun. I stream for fun. I am not going to be a lackey. So, I have yet to see if I ever return. It has been fun though. But it is repetetive now. My current mobile game is Call of Dragons.

I think they should do advertising in the UK. Many people in the UK really miss the rts scene and love games like age of empires, space games and futuristic games, because of their history with things like warhammer 40k.

It's not an analogy -- It's a game mechanism. The stock market within the Railroad Tycoon II game really does move in response to earnings spikes.

I am playing grunts mod (downloaded 2 days ago) as of this post. I was able to play through the first map as atredies but when I completed the 2nd map, the game loops the sound that I completed the mission but the "mission completed' never popped up. I tried different video settings - resolutions etc. Nothing worked. I disabled sound in the settings and mission completed. This tells me something about accessing the sounds is the problem. Has anyone run into this before? Grateful for any assistance. I dont want to play without sound 😕 windows 11 Thank you, Ix

I tried all configure options, but still game runs in small window :-(

This is an interesting way of explaining stock market dynamics using a train analogy! While it simplifies things a bit, it does touch on key principles. Essentially, stock prices are often influenced by supply and demand — when news of profitable developments (like your "trains arriving") reaches the market, it can drive prices up as investors get excited about potential gains. Conversely, when there’s little new information (or “no trains”), stock prices may stagnate or fall. Your point about not going too deep into margin is important. Leveraging too much can amplify losses, especially in unpredictable markets. And the idea of short selling, as you mentioned, is a strategy that can be profitable in certain conditions, but it comes with its own risks. The most important thing to remember is that while certain patterns can help inform decisions, stock prices are ultimately unpredictable, and external factors like market sentiment, economic news, and geopolitical events can play significant roles. Overall, your simplified explanation of buying and selling based on market movement is a good starting point for understanding how investors might react to market trends!

After month of waiting for a reaction (not even a solution) this crash now happens in every game, after about 10-15 minutes. That means, it has been getting useless. My solution to avoid crashing of dune: uninstall dune. Sad, that IT gets worse with every single day. Whatever is happening, it's the opposite of making anything better.

Thanks, I didn’t do anything different but the Game is working fine again. 😊

Can you make an 2025 version of this Modding Tool but this Time with the feature of extended Unit Editor such as Accumilation of anything you want such as Constitution for any amount of Time Reinforcements Screen|

I was able to solve this issue by pausing my VPN connection.

Hello. I`m new around here. Is there a way to rearrange building\unit icons on the sidebar? Make sardaukars and grenadiers appear with other infantry or switch places for High-Tech and Heavy factories?

https://www.openra.net/ These should help.

i tried solving this but even if on map theres not so many tanks and infantry it still happens. i guess i made too big bases... reworked original missions are finished but still thinking about making skyrim-based cities. but damn game limitations are problem i mean "too many initial buldings for atreides/ordos/harkonnen thing" because wanted make just three parties controlling 9 bases (each country would hold 3 cities i.e atreides would have solitude dawnstar and morthal while ordos would own windhelm whiterun and riften and harkonnen could have markarth falkreth and riverwood).. i wanted to retexture ornithopters so could replace it with dragon to represent alduin attacks since all houses would posess airstrike ability. because i made right now airstrikes for all just dont know how to bite the texturing thing.. ill upload reworked missions in few days once i have more time.. as for skyrim missions - that will come later but no dragon attacks yet.

Should be working fine, what's the issue?
