Advanced Building Revue 05: Sbahns and city networks

Sbahns. We don’t use them in every pax game and even pax games aren’t all that often. So creating a Sbahn doesn’t get that much attention, or that much experience from us. On the other hand, creating a good Sbahn is a very responsible task because mostly the rebuilds and corrections of a Sbahn require nuking a major part of the city. In this article I am going to focus on some basic criteria defining a proper Sbahn, talk about some aspects that affect Sbahn behaviours and last but not least, I would like to show some types in action, searching through our archives.

Advanced building revue 03: Path to insanity

Let’s face it. We are insane. (who didn’t know that, please stop reading immediately) This article is aimed to be a bit special. In what way? I am not going to speak about some new concept that is just nuts or show some insane techniques. I would like to show, how about can one get better, and/or how did it look in my case 🙂 The point is – this is something like wiki in practice, only showing the bad things instead of the good ones 😉 but I am sure you will find also some positive inspiration in the savegames :).

Ridiculous Mess.
