I think the whole point of GTA (at least in the first games) was a send-up of what British people imagine the US to be like - a crazy gun-infested warscape.

Mister Adequate posted:I don't see the problem here? Building a railroad across the ocean is ever so slightly beyond our technical capabilities at the moment. Anyway, revised maps:   Corrected a few of my own mistakes; removed Imperatriz; reorganized Nigeria so its route isn't such a clusterfuck; simplified a few problem areas (central Russia, southern Brazil, Texas); joined Cairo to Suez because seriously why not; a few other minor improvements. Also removed a lot of cities that were really close together for the sake of making the map more readable. I'm not sure why I'm doing this.

If I can make a suggestion, I'd connect northern Japan with Russia just before the ocean crossing. Seems there's pretty much no reason not to, and the Japanese would be able to cross the Pacific without going in the opposite direction first.

If your doing that you may as well link the northern end of the black line to the same line to allow northern China and Korea the same thing.

Should have some crossings over the arctic as well. Some short distances there that are hard to see due to the projection.

Great work on the railroad maps there, but as a man from the south western part of Norway, I feel left out. Hook up an oiled up brother with some rails.

Honestly if I'm going to make a serious attempt at a rail system that makes sense, I may as well dump Mr. Gray's list of stops and start fresh. Maybe all cities above some population threshold, plus any capitals and largest cities of nations that aren't already on the list. Then add additional stops wherever it makes sense to. Probably should modify my program so it can "zoom in" on places like Europe, China, India, the U.S., and so forth.

If you start fresh you should start with (some) existing major rail lines and build on that.

Yeah I'd definitely include state/provincial/country capital cities in addition to major metropolitan areas (if they aren't the capital), because that would likely happen in a scenario like this. Participating countries would build their own infrastructures first before joining with others - with some exceptions like US routes extending into Canadian border cities, or joint stations with light rail travel for close together cities that don't need a high speed line. Think like a city planner.

A Honolulu <-> Tokyo route would be a must, we're the #1 tourist destination for Japan and a lot of people fly from Hawaii to Japan regularly as well.

Will the ocean portions be using bridges, pontoons or tunnels?

Tri-Continental should join onto the Northern, as the rail infrastructure in the UK already exists. Also, I want a train to New York without going through Lancashire.

There are definitely some questionable decisions in those railway networks. For example, if you want to go from southern Libya to northern Libya you have to basically traverse half the length of Africa. And of course the complete lack of any stops in Southern Slavic countries along with Slovakia, Hungary and Romania raises some eyebrows. But perhaps that's by design?

There's also no way in hell the NZ to AUS route wouldn't be a straight Auckland to Syndey trip.
