TOPIC: Max loan amount on servers since 1.2.0? #4

there are some issues with the loan amounts.. 1.2 gave much more loan than intended so it had to be decreased but it does not work as it should. i will keep looking into it today and hopefully come up with a solution that works.

It's fine on Quick Temperate, but I think it will stop a lot of players from playing on your servers.

On the SHORT server, way too limiting IMO.

simply no. quick goal can still be done in 4 years and its non-stop building action right from the start. You are quite overconfident marking yourself as a 'better' player.

Wow.

You have got to be kidding me.

I don't think you understand what I'm talking about when I'm referencing what was possible before the loan was lowered. Running multiple trains on the same single track without signaling early game is a great way to min-max - this greatly limits your possibility to do so.

A lower loan will, by the very definition of HAVING LESS MONEY, always give you LESS to do than a higher one. It dumbs the game down outside of the small area in regards to vehicle optimization. And vehicle optimization was already used by decent players in the first place (primarily for feeders early game).

I give up. You're not capable of reading.

Where in that post do I say it's hard?

Just did short goal desert in 13 years, no problem with the original starting loan, setting up a quick money line is key. Which is much easier on the larger maps.

Btw Zalmar your company on server 4 was earning over £250,000 a year with your two oil trains.

Ok?

I am not saying it's hard to get profit, but these loans are far too limiting on anything but Quick and you will lose players because of it. Slowing down the game and limiting options is just dull.
