This is illogical due to the concept in economics of "opportunity costs" which says, what is the cost of doing A if you forego B? B is building more routes.
You are talking about using stock as an investment. Please refer to my post on stocks in the FAQ, it is quite lengthy and describes the strategy. You should never start buying opponent early on. Now to point 11: I think that is suicide. I've tested it hundreds of times and my train will make yours go negative.Īlso, just a point in the middle of the discussion: The strategy FAQ is mostly written by me and it applies directly to online play-I never play anywhere else, just online with human beings. Trust me on that-I beat those trains every time, because my track is shorter. Why? Because there is no gravity-so all you did was add unnecessary mileage to your track that slows you down in the route. If you have a steep track like in your screen shot, and I have a flat track straight to resource. Raising your bridge way up adds miles to your track. So this means you should revert back to your comment about "shortest distances". This would indeed be true if there were gravity in SMR. The concept behind this is gravity of course that a train would go faster if it's on a down slope. On point 6: This is certainly something many of us agreed with at some point. Some very good tips here efast, I agree with everything, except points 6 and 11.
