Well - I'm not the author of the Hawaiian map and I'm sure that Sammy won't like any "fixes" on his map ... He's the only one to patch his maps, I think. Anyway - you can "fix" the map easily yourself using the editor: Start RT3, go to "Extras" and "Editor" (I'm running the german version, so the menu names might be different...). Click "load map" and load the "Hawaii"-map. Click the lowest button on the left side, here you can remove the events "eathquakes" if you like ! Just save the map (maybe with a different name, e.g. "Hawaii 2") and play it ! But I figured out another "bug" (in the original Hawaii map): I achieved Silver after about 17 years and had no more chance for gold (20 years): the game was over exactly when I connected the 8th Island, and I had no more time to improve the company value ... greetings beeblebrox
