PLease add diffrent maps

Post by 13asouza »

There are Maps like Europe and Switzerland that are much more fun than USA.

I dont know if the game owner allows it, but if they do, it is worth it.

Yes! I would love to play Europe, Switzerland or India with online friends like I can with the physical sets at home!

What is it about the map of Europe that makes it more fun for you?

Tunnels, ferries and stations. 3 new mechanics.

Those strike me as new mechanics (as you say) rather than something specific to the map even though tunnels and ferries appear on the map.

Usually, map-specific mechanics never reappear outside of that map. Tunnels, ferries and stations do, and the Europe map would be the best one to teach these mechanics on because it has a fair amount of both tunnels and ferries. Other maps frequently choose to exclude some of them - for example, Switzerland has about 50% of the tracks in tunnels but 0 ferries, while Africa has exactly 2 ferries to Madagascar and 0 tunnels.

The most obvious map difference is the lack of 5 length routes and the presence of an 8 length route. I don't feel like the long routes (6s and in Europe the 8) play as much of a role as they do in the original, but that could be because the limited Europe I have played has been mostly 4+ players and never just 2, while a lot of the original I play is 2-player on line.
