Hello all
I'm pretty new on here. been playing on server 9 for a few weeks. Really like the FIRS industries.

It would be great to include all the FIRS industries. It would add another level of difficulties and make it less repetitive...

Let me know what you think

hello jpgirard

It's quite impossible to add all FIRS industries when some don't overlap among it's economies .
Currently server #9 it's using "Steeltown" economy, if I'm not mistaken, because give a fun and enjoyable gameplay with the climate rotation that server #9 has. This "rotation" limits the selection of economies and Extreme economy (already used once in a while on our BTPro past) sounded like a cliché. "Steeltown" economy was introduced with FIRS 3 and that's why started to be used ^^

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, always welcome, but hope you understand why "Steeltown" economy it's being used now... It doesn't mean that someday other can be used... as long players ask for it, and fits climate changes

Enjoy the games

Hello jpgirard!

We talked a bit about this subject yesterday, when playing on #9. We have steeltown now, indeed, and it behaves great in all climates. Looking at the FIRS economies: the only wider and (probably) compatible with all climates is extreme economy. But is it really worth to change it? I'm not sure now after reviewing the docs. There are more industries in extreme economy (51 vs 25 of steeltown) but the same number of cargos (31).

I understand that you are bored of repeating the same schema of play, that's why you suggested the change. Let's wait and see if anyone else votes for it here or votes against it.

Thank you both for the information.

I'll try to use different tactics and see how it turns out.

cheers

can we add another game to run with the Extreme economy? seems like for steeltown - the same tactics are used to build/win in many of the games played.
