1-A - Introduction
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Hi,
This FAQ was started many years ago to help people who love Transport
Tycoon Deluxe, and to allow them to fully enjoy the game. The FAQ's main aims
are, to increase enjoyment attained from playing the game, to help weaker
players gain skills, to act as a good first reference on the internet for the
game and to inform skilled players of even more information, tactics and
investment plans.
As you may have noticed this FAQ is completly different to the original,
the reason being, it went through over ten updates, three makeovers and a
lot of mistake fixing, so on this update, the elventh (I think) and last
update, I have rewritten the FAQ entirely!
Finally I wish to say, I hope you enjoy this FAQ and find it to be an
accurate resource for this game, if not please email me and I might add your
comment in my readers contributions section, but before you email me, please
take the time to read the email section, it explains how much e-mail I have to
deal with, much of it already answered in this FAQ. So I finish this intro
with - hope you enjoy.

1-B - Game Settings
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Thanks to this little function each game you play in Transport Tycoon Deluxe
is completely unique, so you might aswell get to understand it fully. This
function is in the main menu as "Game Settings."
a) Max No. of Competitors: 0-7
This is a basic function toggling the number of competitors from 0 to 7, 2
or 3 is usually enough, but you can mess around with this function if you
want.
b) Competitor Start Time: 0-9 months
This is another basic function, it toggles the number of months before a
competitor can start after you start your own business, please note just
because the 9 months or what every your selection is has elapsed, does not
mean a competitor will start operating, I have played games where no
competitors have started for many years after myself. I would typically
favor 9 months, but for a harder game try 0 months.
c) No. of towns: Low, Normal, High
Again a fairly obvious choice, but still worth a moments thought, if you
choose low, there will be less population centers to serve, but they will
be far bigger and will have denser populations. However if you choose high
you may have to tackle a clustered effect which leaves you no room to place
railways, large airports etc. I can't really say which is better, but high
will always be best if you are a road/air company.
d) No. Industries: Low, Normal, High
Well high is easy and low is hard, simple enough is'nt it.
e) Max Loan: $200,000-$1,000,000
Again this will either make the game easier or harder, lower is harder,
higher is easier. The max loan may change over time, even up into the
millions in the 21st century.
f) Initial interest rate: 2%-4%
Obviously this is the amount of interest you pay on your loan. Again the
higher the easier and the lower the harder.
g) Vehicle running costs: Low, Normal, High,
This is the amount it costs to run your vehicles. I tend to pick normal, or
low, but for a more realistic game pick High.
h) Construction Speed of competitors: Very Slow, Slow, Medium, Fast, Very Fast
This is how quick your competitor can build tracks, roads etc, this will
affect your game big time, so choose wisely. I usually pick Medium.
i) Intelligence of Competitors: Low, Medium, High
This is how good your competitor is at making financial decisions, route
decisions etc. I would choose Medium mostly. But if you choose high and you
own 75% of the competitor then your stake may become worth many millions.
j) Vehicles breakdown: None, Reduced, Normal
This is how often your vehicles breakdown, I generaly pick none! But again
to make it more realistic, choose normal.
k) Subsidy Multiplier: 1.5-4.0
This is important, when your take up a subsidy (more on this later on) your
normal income from the route is multiplied by this figure, so a high one
means more money. But be wary, your computer competitors always choose
subsidised routes.
l) Cost of Construction: Low, Medium, High
This is the cost of building things like airports etc. As you know airport
construction can cost up to and above $50,000 so be wary, esspecially if
you use railway, just think of it you lay 100 pieces of track and the price
is twice as high as normal. Nasty.
m) Terrain Type: Very flat, Flat, Hilly, Mountainous
This is the type of terrain you use. I tend to pick one of the flatter
ones. But if your trying to make it difficult for your self, choose hilly
or mountainous.
n) Quantity of sea/lakes: Low, Medium, High
This is the amount of water in a level. Choosing high may result in a lot
of expensive bridges, where as low may result in no shipping industry.
o) Economy: Steady, Fluctuating
This will effect the bottom line the most, steady means that things are
much the same all the way through, i.e. passenger numbers stay the same.
Where as fluctuating means that the economy can go up or down, i.e.
passenger numbers can rise or fall. The economy also effects industries,
so if the economy is doing well then more factories, oilrigs, etc will be
built.
p) Train Reversing: At end of line and at stations, At end of line only.
This means weather a train can turn at such and such a point or not. I
usually pick "at end of line and at stations."
q) Disasters: On, Off
I think you can work this one out yourself!
______________________________________________________________________________
1-C - The Menu Bar
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
On the top of the screen (while playing) you will see several icons, you can
click on these to open the different menus, the main ones are as follows:
a) Options Menu - indicated by a wrench icon.
There are many functions in the options menu, they are:
Currency Units - Choose from Pounds (£), Dollars ($), Franc (FF)
Deutschmark (DM), Yen (Y), Peseta (PT).
Road Vehicles - Choose which side of the road vehicles drive on.
Autosave - You can set the game to save its self every 3, 6, or 9 months
this can be very usful, but if you can't see its use you can
turn it off.
Vehicle Design names - You can either have default or custom. You can
create custom names, at the vehicle menu screen.
Distance - Choose between Imperial (miles), or Metric (kilometers).
Town Names - Several choices here, all obvious enough, English, French,
German, American, Latin – American, and Silly.
b) Map - indicated by a map icon.
Here you can view several different map versions. They are as follows:
Geographical Map - indicated by a flat green land icon. This map can
help you make route decisions for rail, making the
flat routes around mountains obvious. The legend is
as follows: Dark green: 100m altitude
Green: 200m altitude
Light Green: 300m altitude
White: 400m altitude
Pink: 500m altitude
Black: Roads
Grey: Railway
Light Blue: Stations/Airports/Docks
Dark Blue: Water
Red: Buildings/Industries
White: Vehicles
Vehicles Map - indicated by a train icon. This map will alert you to
were your vehicles currently operate, if you see large
patchs were you have no vehicles, then thats were to
expand to. the legend is as follows:
Light Red: Trains
Yellow: Road vehicles
Blue: Ships
White: Aircraft
Black: Transport Routes
Red: Buildings/Industries
Industry Map - indicated by a factory icon. This is probably the most
usful map, because you can match up industrys like coal
mines and power stations. The legend is as follows:
Black: Coal Mine
Red: Powerplant
Green: Forest
Orange: Sawmill
Yellow: Oil Refinery
White: Bank
Pink: Farm
Purple: Factory
Blue: Oil wells
Bronze: Iron ore mine
Grey: Steel Mill
These industries may vary on other terrains, this is just
the temperate climate terrain industrys.
Structural Map - indicated by a road/rail icon. Very usful to decide new
routes, e.g. if you have a few over-flowing airports
you are best to open new routes between the two ones
with the greartest distance between them because this
returns the most profit. The legend is as follows:
Black: Roads
Grey: Railways
Dark Red: Buildings/Industries
Green: Railway Stations
Orange: Lorry Loading Bay
Yellow: Bus Station
Light Red: Airport
Blue: Dock
Vegetation/Terrainal Map - indicated by a tree icon. Not that usful.
Legend as follows:
Dark Green: Rough land
Medium Green: Grass land
Green: Trees
Light Green: Forest
Cream: Fields
Bronze: Bare land
White: Rocks
Orange: Desert
Blue: Snow
Black: Transport Routes (roads etc)
Red: Buildings
Ownership Status - indicated by a tycoon icon! The legend is as follows:
Blue: Water (duhhh!)
Green: No owner
Red: Towns
Grey: Industries
c) Town Dictionary - indicated by a town/building icon. Here you can view all
the town names and there population, by clicking on a
name you are automatically brought to the town. This is
very usful when opening new passenger routes.
d) Subsidies - indicated by a coins and crates icon. This brings up a list of
subsidies on offer. Very usful again for new routes.
e) List of Company Stations - indicated by a train station icon. Extremely
usful, if you open it and the town dictionary
together you can check which large towns you
don't operate in.
f) Finance - indicated by a coin icon. Here you can view expenses, income etc,
and borrow or repay a loan. This is more of a function menu than
a status one like maps or lists.
g) Graphs - this is indicated by a chart icon, here you can view 6 charts,
listed below:
Operating profit graph - this is your monthly income, compared to your
competitors.
Income graph - this is the money you take in before expenses compared to
your competitors. If you compare this to your profit
graph you can get a profit margin, by dividing your
income by operating profit, and turningthe resulting
figure into a percentage, a good percentage is 20%-30%.
Delivered Cargo graph - this is obvious.
Company Value - Obvious enough.
Cargo Payment Rate - this is how much you get for transporting a certain
item, a certain space over a certain time. They can
be found later on in this FAQ.
Performance - this is how your company has performed since it was
started, you want as few drops as possible, a high rating
will lead to better attitude from Local Authorities and
higher passenger numbers. You can add the following
amounts by completing these objectives:
________ ______________________________________________________________
| Points | Objectives |
|--------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 400 | 40,000 units of cargo delivered during the last four |
| | quarters. This objective is worth 40% of your total rating, |
| | so it's important to meet this one if you want a high score. |
| | To increase your delivered cargo, you'll need more services, |
| | faster vehicles, and more efficient layouts. |
| 100 | 120 vehicles in operation. Since TTD will only let you build |
| | a maximum number of trains, vehicles, planes and ships this |
| | objective requires you to diversify the methods of transport |
| | you use. Remember that the game counts a bus to the same |
| | degree as a Yate plane, so road vehicles will make your |
| | target easier. |
| 100 | 80 station part. A part means bus stops, airports, platforms,|
| | etc., even if several are combined into one station. |
| 100 | £10,000 minimum profit for all vehicles more than 2 years |
| | old. This objective is somewhat flawed, because: If you don't|
| | have any vehicles older than 2 years old, then you get the |
| | 100 points by default. It doesn't take inflation into |
| | consideration. Early in the game, it might be difficult for |
| | all of your vehicles to earn £10,000 per year. But as time |
| | goes on, £10,000 is worth much easier to make because it |
| | isn't worth as much. You probably don't want all of your |
| | vehicles to earn a profit. You might intend some services to |
| | be intermediate "piglet" lines that supply cargo to other |
| | vehicles which then take them to their final destination. |
| | Road vehicles often don't turn a very big profit, at least |
| | not early in the game. |
| 100 | £100,000 minimum operating profit for at least one quarter |
| | out of the last 12 |
| 50 | £50,000 minimum operating profit for all of the last 12 |
| | quarters |
| 50 | 8 different types of cargo delivered during the last quarter.|
| | This is trickier to achieve than you might think. You have |
| | to transport - and successfully deliver - eight different |
| | cargo types during the past quarter. |
| 50 | £10 million cash on hand |
| 50 | £250,000 maximum loan. So, if you are borrowing £250,000 or |
| | more, you won't get any points for this. Otherwise, if you |
| | have a smaller loan, or don't have any debt, then you get |
| | all 50 points. |

The above chart was written by Josef Drexler, and I have gotten permission
from him for its use.
h) Company League - this is indicated by a cup icon, and is a chart on how
you rank against your competitor, it goes from engineer to
President!
i) Fund new Industry - here you can fund new industries like factories, do not
do this until you are really, are a millionaire, as it
is extremely expensive for a new company.
The rest are quite obvious:

2-A - Random New Games General Tips
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
o As towns tend to be bigger in the tempertate climate maps than in others, it
is advisable to enter passenger and mail transport before diversing into
other types of cargo. It will prove very profitable.
o Planes are very econmical in the tempertate climate compared to others,
again due to a higher population.
______________________________________________________________________________
2-B - Scotland
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Year: 1950
Cash: £100,000
Major Indurstries: Forestry & Agriculture
Major cities: Glasgow - 1,456 Dundee - 335
Edinburgh - 1,164 Abeerdeen - 334
Iverness - 526
Strategy: The biggest obstacal to be overcome in Scotland is Mountains, so the
potential for rail and train is low. The few such routes may include
the transport of passengers and mail from Edinburgh to Glasgow by
rail, and perhaps passengers from small towns like Filkirk to the 2
main cities Glasgow and Edinburgh by bus. There is far more
potential in air travel and shipping. A good starting route would be
the transport of passengers from Abeerdeen to Edinburgh by boat.
______________________________________________________________________________
2-C - Stepping Stones
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Year: 1950
Cash: £100,000
Major Indurstries: Coal & Oil
Major cities: Brenfingburough - 1,517 Rondtown - 794
Sutfield - 1,225 Bendinghall - 793
Hudingburg - 820 Tunfingway - 783
Nornwell Ridge - 813 Drinfingfield - 770
Strategy: The biggest challange here is the water! You can start out with a
few buses and ships for passengers. Also oil from the oil rigs is a
good starting point. Later own linking the islands by rail may be a
good idea. If you feel like it you could start shipping coal to the
powerplants. This area is pretty straight forward after that.
______________________________________________________________________________
2-D - LinkGame Islands
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Year: 1950
Cash: £100,000
Major Indurstries: Diverse
Major Cities: Dutburg Springs - 5,253 Pontbridge - 3,872
Fetbridge - 5,690 Flebourugh - 1,433
Gruntown - 4,807 Dardingstown - 1,363
Strategy: This area is preety much an open book. A land of opportunity. Start
off with rail in the biggest cities and establish airports close to
cities early on so that you can get close to the city before they
sprawl further.
______________________________________________________________________________
2-E - highlands
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Year: 1950
Cash: £100,000
Major Indurstries: Forestrey/Oil/Agriculture
Major Cities: Platwood - 364 Brefingbury - 155
Raningworth - 152
Strategy: This area has plenty of obstacles, the land is very hilly, and the
population density is very low. You could try establishing passenger
services but they won't make much until the towns develop (which
will only happen when they get transport.) So leave this until the
1960's. In the mean time a good starting point is oil from the oil
rig refinary by ship. The various forests are also a good starting
point. Rail can be used but only to a limit.
______________________________________________________________________________
2-F - bridges
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Year: 1950
Cash: £100,000
Major Indurstries: oil/agriculture
Major Cities: Carham - 1,811
Charnville - 889
Strategy: Ok you can do very little with passengers, so stick to oil. Ships
and trains are the only way to go don't even try buses, trucks etc.
The biggest obstacle in this level is obviously the water so try and
use ships the most.
______________________________________________________________________________
2-G - The Islands of the Dead Volcano
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Major Cities: Plennton - 4,482 Fluntfield - 1,131
Nindborough - 1,359 Wontway - 1,098
Weninningwell - 1,196
Strategy: Firstly, forget about air transport in this level. Secondly make
your first buck by oil. When you can start a passenger service in
Plennton. Trains will be useless here as well. So stick to buses
and boats.
______________________________________________________________________________
2-H - West Country 90201
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Year: 1950
Cash: £100,000
Major Indurstries: Coal/Forestry
Major Cities: Cardiff - 4,267 Bournmouth - 1750
Bristol - 2,622 Clifton - 1,115
Strategy: This is the best place in the game in my opinion! You have loads of
choices. Start by developing passenger air services. Then move into
rail - for passengers, coal, iron ore and forstery. When the
hovercraft arrives develop loads of roots. The biggest problem in
this scenario is that your rail network will get so big, it will
start to confuse you! By the way EVERY town and city in this place
can support a passenger service.

Major Indurstries: Oil/Iron ore
Major Cities: New Chedinghattan - 992 Raningwell Ridge - 577
Nardhead Cross - 818 Great Winningwell - 505
Gaham - 644
Strategy: OK, Chris Sawyer designed this level to look like a skull, I don't
think he intended to be a level! Anyways start with a few land based
passengers and then start either vehicle or train routes for iron
ore and oil. You can dabble in shipping.

8-E - Track Combinations
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Sadly I can't illustrate because if I did this FAQ would be in the MGs rather
than KBs and thus be uneasy to download with a dial-up modem. Anyways I will
try to convay my point as graphically as I can.
_________
Crossings
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Ok i'm going to start off with the simplist combination you will need, and
when I say need, I mean you'll never get past 1951 without it! Firstly we
start with the general overlap.
Fig. 1.1 | T |
| r |
| a |
| i | L - Lights
L n L
| B |
_________L____|_____|_____L_________
| |
| | Train A
_________L____|_____|_____L________
| |
| |
L L
| |
| |
| |
| |
As you can see this is a fairly simple crossing, train A goes from one side
to another and the same for train B, and its all nice and safe because of the
lights. But it would'nt do if you decide to build a NETWORK because you will
need more complex crossings like the following two, the second being almost
ideal.
Train C
Fig. 1.2 | T | Fig. 1.3 L / L

_________L____|/___\|____L__________ L____ | | ____L
| | \ \ / /
| | \ \_____/ /
L L *\ /*
| | \ /
| | \ /
| | | |
| | L \ L
Train D
In Fig 1.2, not only can Train A continue onto its own track, but it can also
use Train B's track by making a diagnal turn, this is the first major item
used for building networks. However Fig 1.3 is a far more important
combination, the first major difference is an unlimited number of trains can
use it, because firstly its quick and simple, secondly a train can use any
track, and thirdly its a far better intersection than Fig 1.2. Its general
theme is the same as a ROUNDABOUT. Before I finish can I just say that its
wise to place a depot in anyof the places I have an astricks, because if all
four trains come along and there is no route for the train using the
roundabout
NETWORK
A network in TTD, means not only do you build tracks from A to B, but you
connect them to each other, so that a train can go from A to Y without having
to go through all the other stations, it will be very usful when you've got
most of the towns/citys on a map connected, because you will be able to build
new trains for new routes without having to have new track.
ROUNDABOUT
A roundabout is an European alternative to the American "Four Way Stop" where
instead of the first car to the stop, going first, any car can join the chain
of cars going around the circle and then break off for its prefered route. In
TTD the roundabout has been used for trains, however with only oone train at a
time going around.

12-A - Loans
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The first choice for finance is always loans. Loans are quite expensive
however and are complicated. A handy way of avoiding a loan is to sell off
assents to pay for what ever you needed.
Sadly you rarely have hugh assets to sell off. So here is a few tips to
go through before taking out a large loan. Ask yourself a few questions like:
o How much do I REALLY need?
o Can I not sell off assets, close bad routes, increase subsidys or sell
shareholdings?
o How soon do I need the money?
o What do I need the money for? Shareholdings/takeover, new vehicles, trains,
aircraft or ships, to advert bankqurptcy, or to build more buildings (e.g.
Airports).</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
o Can I afford the interest.
A great way of making sure you don't need to take out loans often, is to make
sure you don't expand TOO quickly. Another way to avoid loans is to make sure
you don't develop any loss-making routes early on. Also as you know, interest
is extremely costly, that is why all spare money should always be spent on
decresing your loans.
______________________________________________________________________________
12-B - Subsidies
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A subsidy is a bonus you recieve from a local authority to run a route. If
the subsidy is 4x, it means that you can make 4 times the regular amount for
the transportantion if the subsidised item on the route. This means if you
make $1,000 on a route, you get $4,000!
Now that I have said the good, let me tell the bad, being that subsidys
only last for a certain time, and they incerage competition.
You can set the subsidy rate in the options menu.
______________________________________________________________________________
12-C - Shareholdings/Investments
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
As you probably know, it is possible to buy into a rival or even complete
a merger. You can buy a stake of 25%, 50%, 75% or buy the whole company.
My best advice is always to buy 75% while they still are only worth
£100,000, and nine times out of ten I borrow the money! The reason being, that
you can make A LOT of money by owning a piece of your competition. Here is
example of one of my investments: £75,000 yr 1951 => £100,000,000 yr 2020.
______________________________________________________________________________
13-A - Dealing with Local Authorities
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you plan to be successful you will need to get on the good side of local
authorities because if your rating is too low, they will not allow you to
build. Thebest thing to do is establish bus services early on in most towns,
this ensures your ratings stay high when you are later looking for planning
permission. It also helps to build your inner-city stations before the towns
get to big. A good way of avoiding planning problems for airports and train
stations is to buy up land early on. Avoid changing levels of land too often,
this angers local authorities
______________________________________________________________________________
13-B - Tips
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
o At the start of a game, buy 75% of each competitor, borrow if necessary,
don't sell your stake until about 2025, you should get about $50,000,000 or so
for it. Note: This only works if your competitors intelligence is either
medium or high.
o If you are having money trouble don't sell your stake, instead just borrow,
or wait until you have more cash.
o Always try to get the subsidised routes first as they can guarantee a profit
most of the time.
o If a road comes into heavy demand, then just build another one beside it,
instead of enduring the traffic.
o Start with buses and trains, because aircraft and ships are too expensive,
where as trains are fast, cheap and profitable (up to about $300,000 per year
per train, in the last few years.
o Cost is not a problem, just because a certain vehicle is out of your price
range, it doesn't mean that you should never bother saving up for it, do save
and buy it, for example, the "Yate Haugan," this costs about $400,000, but it
flies at 1,448mph, and if put on a good route it can make about $100,000 a
year, and it lasts for 25 years, so that's a profit of 25 x $100,000 - $400,000
= $2,100,000! And you thought $400,000 was a lot!
o Don't bother trying to pay back a loan until about the year 1990 or so, by
then you should have about $20,000,000. Note: If you have enough before 1990,
go straight ahead and pay it off!
o Don't build too many vehicles, as they aren't very profitable, and will
drive you mad replacing them, when they get old.
o As I have said already, helicopters are a crap.
