- You only get 100 years to play with this game, and to me that SUCKED!
- I was just getting my company going good when the damn game would end...
- So I fixed it (Sorta)...When your 100 yrs is up and if you would like
- to play for another 100 yrs, simply run RRTYEAR.EXE and select your last
- saved game (Preferably save your game right before you 100 years is up...
- ie...if you start in 1830, save your game in December 1929). What this
- cheat does is take your current year and place that in the year started
- offset in your saved game file. So if you save in 1929, instead of the
- game ending in 1930 you will go onto 2029 before your game will end.
- I've only tested this in the game for a couple of years and had no probs.
- Only thing that will be affected is....Stock Prices...some will soar,
- some will plummet....Why? Well as I see it...instead of your company
- having been around for 100 yrs...you are now a brand new company in it's
- first year (after running the cheat), your stock price is at $200/share
- or so....hence...your doing fu@#ing great according to the game....plus
- you have all these trains and land and everything else in just your 1st
- year. That's how I see it. Anyway, in perspective...it will even out.
- Those companies that were flurishing before you ran the cheat will still
- be flurishing, and those that were sucking wind will be sucking even more
- of it....just a bit more on both sides than before. I may mess with the
- stock prices just to keep them the same, then again I may not...just
- depends on the elastic in my briefs.
-
- P.S.
-
- Oh, you can run this as many times as you want, whenever you want in your
- game. You don't have to wait until your 100 years is up. The game may
- have a limit on years, I dunno..but will soon find out I bet! It may be
- that it ends in 1990 no matter what you have your starting date at (Because
- the latest you can start a game is 1890). I set my starting date to the
- year 2010 manually last night, although my current year was 1930. I of
- course had no stock reports (because to the game, my company was not yet
- even formed)...kind of a Back to the Future scenario. It completely fucked
- over some trains and ruined one part of my tracks, but I deleted the trains
- and created new ones in their place and fixed the track as best I could and
- the game went fine from there. So as far as that went it looks as though
- the date can be over 1990. Who knows...
-
- Enjoy!
