Rail Europe [Quenched]

[unriggable]

The rails aren't very pleasing to the eyes, especially those that overlap.

naturally....i'm sure that WM will make some great lines.

Here is V14 updates with some fixes suggested by Gnome.

Who wanted double tracks? may I kill said person

if you want to make it railroady, try these things perhaps:

(okay, its paint, so sue me)

obekende....i'll not sue you over using paint...especially when u present a brilliant idea that will cover nicley for those double lines.
let's see what i can do in a short few hours. very nice thank you.

[Unit_2]

i love that! its awsome! keep the lines the same.

Thanks unit 2.

Below is V15 for WM to work with for the rail lines.

Having seen Rail USA in action now, I am keen on seeing different railways of the world maps, cairnswk. (Although Rail Canada would probably be boring )

Gozar...thanks for comment as always.

Rail Australia is already in development on my puter, and Rail Asia will be started in a couple of months. As for Africa....i have not even visited that one yet.

However, i think there will be some other maps come out before Rail Australia. I'm keeping hush on those...

V16 Update

This is a small change:

* Title bar starting to take shape - heading for something in European Grand style, maybe like antique carved swirls etc.
* WM (who away this weekend) provided a "rough" version in blue of the rail lines for preview....apologies for them all being blue...this is not the final colour for each line
We have also yet to finalise the colour scheme for the stations and lines.

The map might ahve to be a little wider (unless that goes against size restrictions) right now it seems a little crowded

thanks for comment d.gishman....can take it any wider...size restrictions....i don't think it is too crowded...busy yes, but not too crowded...the large version will be more suited to your needs i beleive when i get that done.

[edbeard]

the only problem I have at this point (haven't look at the bonus structure lately) is the colours in the legend and how they are shown on the map itself. very hard to distinguish all around. I've had this problem since you switched the colours from vertical lines to horizontal (under the station letters) but you explained why you had to make that change. And, I believe you said you are working on the colour scheme still so I'll let you know what I think when I see those changes

[oaktown]

I like it... same potential for color confusion as the USA, but it'll be fun to play.

just for clarification (and I apoligize if this ha already been covered on another page) but some stations that have two lines running through them are multiple territories, such as Prague, while others with multiple rail lines are only one territory, like Venice? Why the difference?

And the tracks around Rome are confusing... looks like Florence could bypass Rome and hit CBA.

Your first poster wanted the graphics to reflect the USA game, but I disagree. European train stations have a grandeur that few American stations have, and I'd like to see that reflected. For instance, when European stations fall out of service they become museums (Paris, Berlin) - when our stations fall out of service they become meth labs, then later are torn down to build a Walmart.

This map has been bumped by the PGD, a mapmaking advocate group.

[Wisse]

i think you need the rails as they are now, but then in colours, because it's now confusing wich countries belong into one bonus area

yes wisse...they will be in colour

v17 Small

Some frame work going onto the title bar. Suitable?

[Kaplowitz]

oooohhhhh

this is sweet. I would make the paris station a bit brighter

do you mean the legs of the octagon, or in the grey areas?

all of it. It need to stand out like chicago.

[oaktown]

Actually, I'd say it shouldn't look like Chicago; it should make you think of Paris. The ironwork around the title is exactly the kind of look I'd push you keep going after Cairns. Nice work.
