Willkommen in Platform X

Translation Answer 5
The idea of Platform X is that we always play 2 rounds with the same rules so that the players can implement what they have learned from round 1 into new strategies for round 2. After that, a completely new set of rules comes for Episode 2 - Round 1.

thanks, but is that any kind of announcement? Is that in a place that everyone see easilyeasily? Is that announcement made in every supported languages of RN?

If is that the famous announcement that PX servers are usually 2 rounds servers looks like someone didn't do the homework. Because to read that I should consult the German forum, language that I don't speak and never played any round neither, go to one specific thread that in a language that I don't understand and then have the lucky to find that specific comment, keep doing this great job CMs.

Right.

Bolding by me in the above quote.

Do I have to make a draw??

I want to know where is it announced that Platform X servers will be "USUALLY" a 2 rounds events, I can't find that information with date before PX episode 2 started.

Quote from Spoordijk

Are you an RN-staff member? Or just a forum-member like the rest of us? Or does your title puts you somewhere in between?

I'm just a player than didn't see anywhere saying this PX server is a 2 rounds event until few days ago when someone told me that, then I went everywhere looking for that information that I missed and surprise surprise I couldn't find anywhere saying that PX episode 2 will be a 2 rounds event or even any information saying that al PX servers are "usually" a 2 rounds event.

Once again I ask where can I find that information nEwW ? It may be posted by you somewhere...

Quote from Rmtcp

It says in same part "this first episode" so I still don't find where it says PX servers are " Usually " 2 rounds event...

As you can see in the screenshot, it says specific "the 1st episode"

Have a look at my answer #10

It says in same part "this first episode" so I still don't find where it says PX servers are " Usually " 2 rounds event....

Quote from nEwW

Hello

The PX series are usually planned as a two round event, however we might change this on a case-to-case circumstance. If this should happen, we would of course inform you.

Best Regards,
nEwW

Well, I couldn't find nothing where it says that PX servers are "usually" Planned as a 2 round event, so this PX running now is one round only, right?

If not where can I see that PX servers are "usually" a 2 round event?

Thanks.

Quote from Spoordijk

Thank you for this information. Unfortunately it's now absolutely clear that some RN-staff WITH knowledge of the current PX-schedule show up here, and start giving some answers.

Unbelievable they let us try and figure it out ourselves, when it's so obvious there is much contradictionary information abound.

RN staff went on vacations, we are free to do what ever we want here...

I can't really find nothing about a second round at second episode, and at the blog there is a clear mention that the 1st episode will have 2 rounds it doesn't say nothing about the next PX events.

This looks a bit strange to me, a 2 rounds event but no announcement from any RN staff.

Quote from Hear Me Roar

There are always only 2

Where is that announcement? I can't find it anywhere, at least for episode 2

how many rounds will PX 2 have?

Quote from Bruno_BF

The number depends on many variables:

- "passenger": This is defined for each city level and server speed setting (2x speed -> "passenger" is just half the amount of 1x speed)

- number of active connected players: For platform X only players that transport goods or passengers to the city count

- city_depots_normal: default number of expected active players per city (=50 for platformx, =100 for all other scenarios)

- passenger_standard_distance = default distance between two cities in hexagons (one track is usually 6-8 hexagons) - =25 for platform x and classic

- distance to nearest city = number of hexagons to next city of shortest track connection

Calculation:

Number of required passengers = "passenger" * ((number of active connected players / city_depots_normal)^0,5) * ((passenger_standard_distance / Distance to nearest city)^0,5)

Endgame: factor 5

Example:

Platform X, 2x speed, 125 active players, city level = 39, distance to next city = 40 hexagons (1 track is usually 6-8 hexagons)

Number of required passengers = 3,600,000*((125/50)^0,5)*((25/40)^0,5) = 4,500,000

Endgame = 5*4,500,000 = 22,500,000

I would like to complete this formula that has somethig not mentionned here.

The passangers needed for End Game are calculated at the time the EG begins witch means the Passengers formula is re-aplied and multiplied by 5

Using the same example has Bruno it will be something like this

Endgame = 5*(3,600,000*((125/50)^0,5)*((25/40)^0,5)) = 22,500,000

Remember the formula needs to be re-aplied at the moment EG starts

I really apreciate how RN team deal with the players they seemed to be very helpfull trying to clarify the doubts we have, I really don't know a way how to thank you the help you are giving us, for me your (RN team) answer to my question was 100% clear to me (you don't give a s... to some players)

Quote from Manwë Súlimo

Hello

It might be a good idea to add keyboard hotkeys/shortcuts for some items in game. For Ex:

E for engine list,

A for Association,

C for Cities

H for Center on home city

M for messages

L for lab

..

.

Navigation with Arrow keys also would be nice to have. so that Macbook users like me

so on.

Well why not trying with Bright Future?? It isn't Travian or Rail Nation but they aren't part of them.

Here is the Email I found info@brightfuture.de

Quote from MrTibberz

It is a kick in the nuts to us that want to play fair

Sorry to informe you but from what I saw at the game and what did read here, ther is nothing agaist that everyone can play the way they want and confirmed by nWeW even password sharing is allowed, one of this days I'll teach my cats, dogs, turtle, and all my neighbors to play RN and share my Wifi password with them.

But I think the main questions remain with no answer, What is Fair Play to Rail Nation Team????

I would like to see the answer to this question....

Quote from jvoodoochild

I did not hear on the stream that there would be any changes to how pX determined active players. So plan for a shut down of competing mega cities to avoid crushing consumption

This changes you're talking are refering to the last pX or to the normal servers?

Well, if you like to keep playing the same way always until the end of days I think it's bette for you to change game (probably counter strike), I don't agree with so many things RN team does but one thing is for sure they are trying to bring up new things to "call" new players (good or bad we will see in the future), this is a strategy game and if you want to win you don't need to be stronger than anyone else you just need to be clever. To win as a city (and I'm use to win in cities with less players than the strongest cities) like we have the game now you must chose the right city for you and if you can hide your plan as mush as possible it's only better for you.

PS.

I'm not the kind of player that "steals" prestige everywhere and then join the winning city for EG only winning because others did work hard during 6 eras. I'm the player that build up an association to win in the city I work all 6 eras to win and at the end I have one player that have top 1 in all possible ways to win (1st individual ranking, 1st association and 1st Mega City)

Since no one oppened a thread about the new Platform X I felt free to do it..

Please be gentle or you will be punished :).

My 1st question is, How it will be calculated active players at this Platform X?

I agreed with Mihai, since the main goal from RN during the 6 eras isn't to be 1st but it is to be at top 10 with the lowest level possible nothing wouldn't be better to hide the strategy from the opponents..

No modern browser supports Flash Player any longer including Internet Exploiter Explorer (replaced by Microsoft Edge). There were too many security vulnerabilities and stability issues associated using a 3rd party plug-in/ Which is why the move to natively supported and open standard of HTML5. I never played this game during the Flash era so don't know what differences there were.

I'm not suro but I think Opera browser still have flash player working
