Changelog for Update 4.14.0

    Dear players, please find details of an upcoming update below.


    New bonus engine
    A new bonus engine has been implemented that will increase in power with each passing era. The new bonus engine can be won in the lottery. The train will be unlocked after the global roll-out is finished (scheduled for 25.04.2019)


    Performance

    Major improvements have been made to the performance, especially for players with many connected tracks.


    Support

    We overhauled the support window to provide access to hot topics and the forum.


    Balancing changes

    After monitoring our recent trainspotter changes, we concluded that we overshot our intended target. We decided on the following corrections:

    • The 'bad luck protection' counter increased from 20 to 100 trainspotters.
    • Money rewards for trainspotters have been increased to double for normal speed servers and quadruple for express servers.
    • The trainspotter interval on express servers has increased from 30 to 60 minutes.

    Another thing we changed concerns the pre-registration of associations. Before this update, it was possible to pre-register in a city and reserve places for the whole association without the members being counted towards the overcrowding rule. It was therefore possible for several big associations to circumvent the overcrowding rule and meet up in the same city, region or faction.


    With the coming changes, these reserved spaces for association members will count immediately towards the overcrowding rule of cities, regions or factions.


    We hope you like the update! Let's talk about the Update 4.14.0
