brunel Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (new to the forum, hi!) This was a real challenge, but now I think I've done it. First my challenge was to beat each level by 5 years before the deadline date. Now I think I can do it by 10 years. (excluding the day missions like Whistle Stops and Promises, and those weird commercial levels) I play the platinum edition, on hard difficulty of course. Difficult levels were: Elbow room, Eidelweiss express, New daylight express. Feel free to ask me about any level. I've been keeping screenshots of all the successes, I started on the harder levels, so I've a few earlier ones to finish up. Lets keep this amazing game alive!

Silverback Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Welcome. Some scenarios are easier than others. Whistle Stops and Promises mostly depends on having no breakdowns if run as intended. You can cheat by starting it, pausing immediately and then changing the consist to just the loco, but it can be done without this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaglevForever Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Well done. Didn't try this myself. After playing scenarios at -25% human revenue and +25% computer revenue and max competitors, the campaign seems easy, so I'm not surprised that it's possible. In my opinion meddling with the AI operations in any way is off-limits. Playing in this way, hardest for me, best case for AI, maximum AI players, I enjoyed the challenge of these maps: -- "Secret" gold on the official Heartland, USA map, $80M company value in 20 years against 9 competitors. -- Cascadia, the original "hard" version. The links for it are dead, 0kb 😒. I have it buried on a hard drive in storage, I hope. Will be a couple days before I can search for it. Maybe someone else can post up a copy before I can find it. -- This: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidDave Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Got any tips for the 'When Walls Come Down' campaign ? Been a RRT2 player for 30 years but since buying the Platinum version from GOG Iv'e had nothing but grief from this scenario. Whatever tactics I try, the AI immediately alters the scenario in order to make sure I have a sh*t time. If I buy stock, it drops into a recession. If I buy industries, it alters the train consist or blows the train up. If I connect 2 large cities, there's no passengers or mail for a year at a time. Everything seems so pathetically 'OBVIOUS' that it seems like the game has been coded by a petulant 4 year old child. Iv'e completed this scenario a thousand times using the CD release but this has got me banging my head against the wall. Would sincerely appreciate some pointers. (Playing on Hard difficulty, btw. and will only accept a Gold.) Cheers, m8 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
