Local Industry - a map for Railroad Tycoon 2 - v1.0 - by Sirian Map size : 120 x 80 Date Released: Feb 12, 1999 Single Player: Yes Map Goals : Yes Map Events : Yes Multiplayer : Yes Max Players : 4 Max AIs : 1 Max Total : 5 Default Start: 1833 Earlier Start: 1823 Latest Start : 1838 Local Industry is a small but tough map set in the earliest time period of the game. The map has NO PASSENGERS, thus the name. Don't waste your time waiting for them, or building hotels. Mail traffic has been reduced by half but keep an eye out for the occasional mail load, as it can pay off big. There are half a dozen events all with minor effects. Check the fine print of each newspaper announcement for details about the event's impact. In multiplayer, the game will last 25 years from the start date. In single player, the game lasts until 1863, so starting earlier gives you more time to work with, albeit with only the slowest engines available. Sirian ... aka ... Robert B. Thomas
