Alpha state


Hello All!

I decided to upload my project here. If you liked the original or found the the description interesting give it a try.
As the project is still in early alpha, many elements are placeholders. No tactical train battles, no story to speak of, no true supply and demand in cities. The features that are in in this build are:

Main map:

  • Fully traversible  map. All the switches work, you need to click on them to switch. The bridges can be repaired given enough men, equipment and rail.
  • Train engine: you can shovel lignite or anthracite by poking the stokers. Left is Lignite, right is Antracite. In the top right corner, you can see the boiler indicators and also move the speed gauge if you want to go slower (it uses less steam).
  • Command and Control: You can talk to your XO, who is the old guy on the right. He can send out coal prospectors. If you park your train in the right spot, they may even find some.
  • Quarters: You can get your current inventory and status from Kolotov. Click on the book on your desk to quick save the game.   
  • You can also break, switch direction of travel and center on the train on the map. Loading the big map may take a some secs. 
  • Train sounds are in.
  • You can hunt mammoths if you have free livestock wagons and enough men.
  •  Tunnels allow your train to go faster but they are dangerous.
  • Enemy trains can be engaged and looted. However heavily defended trains can shoot up your wagons pretty badly. 

Cities:

  • Trade in cities (top left hot zone in a city). There are five city types and their actual supply, demand and prices are randomized based on the type. The prices and stocks change two or three times a week. There are some hubs, like Paris, where there is no clear supply and demand. They buy and sell more type of goods great variance in prices. By the way, your currency is buckets of Lignite. If you want to get rid of some unwanted goods, Drop  it. 
  • Access the special market (bottom left hot zone): Buy and sell mammoths, wagons, soldiers and slaves. Some cities have fixed special markets, like Gdansk which always sells wagons. In other cities, it is changing randomly. This week, it is a mammoth fair, next week, a merc camp. Drop to get rid of unwanted wagons. 
  • Talk to the locals (top right): You can learn rumors, find story bits or buy coal mine coordinates. 
  • Barracks (Bottom left): Recruit troops to defend your train in the frozen wastes. 
  • Click on the train (center) to leave

Repair depos:

  • Change wagon order (left part): Shuffle your wagons around for some lignite.
  • Repair damaged wagons (center): For a whole lot of lignite, you can fix the combat damage of your wagons.
