This is where you can build railroads and canals. You can also claim your one free, beginning railroad here (remember it can only be as long as the width of modern France, from the Bay of Biscay to the present German border). Here I will tell you how much IP you need to construct you railways and canals and how long they will take to build. Please don't post anymore in the main thread about these two things.

OOC: What do you mean by "the width of France?"

Hey Anti, can my free railroad go from Vienna to Budapest to Bratislava?

Thanks

I guess my 'canal' project will be restoring the Grand Canal, which basically means digging lots of small canals and deepening existing ones. Thats roughly the same amount of work for the 'standard' size canal you say is the limit.
Uh, as for railroads, one from Beijing to Tianjin, and railroads from Tokyo to Kyoto and a couple other major ports.

Can I have a railroad from Wales to London? and one from Glasgow to London?

All approved.

NB, I mean, your gift railroad can be as long (in any direction) as France is wide. Which is to say, get out a globe, and look how far it is from the Bay of Biscay to Germany (in real life, not in the game), and that is how long your first railroad can be. By the way this beginning railroad will not boost IP and it will take no time to build (unlike future railways).

EDIT: By the way, mine is going to be from Brussels, to Paris, to Marsielles.

All approved.

One from Assis Ababa, to Harer, to Berbera

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

Will the railroads be shown on the map?

Will the railroads be shown on the map?

Yes, they'll be the thin black lines. Canals will be the thin bright blue lines.

Hmm...would you be interested in a possible railroad from Berlin to Paris An at some point, if we decide to RP an alliance. Then I could go from Berlin (which is on a river that goes to the ocean for transportation), through important industrial cities such as Mainz and Frankfurt, to Paris.

You could use your free railroad to connect with my Parisian railway which ends in Brussels. You could take yours from Berlin, to Amsterdam, to Brussels, just across my border.

Can I my free railroad go from my northernmost African colony to the southern one (the southern one being the one that first touches your own colony Antigonal)

And if this is to long, how much will it take to complete it?

OOC: Why is our main thread broken?

Can I have another one from London to Portsmouth? and one from Mahe to Bangalore in India?

Ghassan and Alversia, both your requests are approved.

is mine short...? Please tell me if it is because there are a few more cities that I'd like to connect to...

Yours could be a bit longer.

Ok then. Can I have it extend also to Presov, Zagreb, and Ljubljana?

Can I get one from Islamabad to Delhi?

Can I get one from Islamabad to Delhi?

Sure.

Okay, the following cities are new to me and I can't find them on my 1989 globe so bare with me: Mahe? Presov? Ljubljana?

Change of Indian Route
Instead of Bangalore - Mahe
Can I have Pondicherry to Calicut via Bangalore?

This is the basic map I'm using for this route (http://www.pnm.my/mtcp/images/maps/India-map.jpg)

Its doable, but such a project would take several years to complete. India is NOT railroad construction friendly terrain. Such a long railroad would take some time anyway.

That's fair enough

i am going to help you:

Presov is at the eastren end of Hungary (search for Ruthenia in Wikipedia.)

Ljubjiana is the capital of Slovenia (near the Italian border, i believe) Slovenia is South-east of Austria

you can see Mahe here- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WikiprojectIndiacities_pondicherry.GIF (unless he is referring to the Seychells.)

I can understand Presov because its pretty small, and Ljubljana too on a 1989 globe because Slovenia was just founded in 1991, thus largely increasing the importance of Ljubljana. I suggest finding a smaller map than a globe to use in case other people want to connect with a railroad or a canal to a smaller city.


***Presov is not in Hungary, its in Slovakia, search for the Presov region.

well, yeah. but Hungary is having demands over that region. they holded it for a while and again near WWII.

I desire my railroad to go from Rostock, to Berlin, through Mainz and Frankfurt, to Brussels (and it will connect with the Parisan line).

Connect Harer with Dire Dawa and Jijiga (OOC: Jijiga is a centre of incense production, note to all, and what will that do to my IP). Also, can you connect Dire Dawa with Amsara, Eritrea, hitting these Ethiopian cities on the way, hitting Weldiya, Maychew, Mek’ele, and Asmara, and can you make a little notch from Asmara to Massawa, that will be a port city, with a 3% tax levied on all imports and exports coming to or from there.

I'm familiar with about two of those cities. I don't know how far apart these places are but I think this railway might take a bit.

France would like to announce they are going to build two new railroads extending from the primary Rostock - Marsielles Railway. They will both begin in Paris, one will go to Nantes, the other to Bordeaux. We hope to have them completed sometime between the next six to eight months.

EDIT: France also has plans to build a railway connecting her Indian possesions. It should take about six months to complete.

i would like my free railway (if still possible) from Madrid to La-Coruna and Barcelona, and two other railways, one constructed from Miami to Jacksonville and one crossing over entire Brazilian coast.

Your free railroad can cover the first two, but the Brazilian one is gonna take time time and tie up some IP.

The Portugese would like to create a new railroad that traverses the current extension of Portugese America.

Many native people in the region have offered their support, citing the railroad would improve their relationship with colonization and offer them economic resources.

Okay, so across Venezuela and those other countries going horizontally?

Can I get a railway from Berbera to Galcayo to Mogadishou to Kisymao, to (Kenya now) Wajir, Garissa, to Nairobi

Alright, I'm gonna say it: I know nothing about Ethiopia. I don't know where these places are. Could you just take a map, draw some lines showing where you want your railroad and post it? Sorry I'm such an idiot.

ok tomorrow, i'm tired

Sounds fine.

Yes, across those countries.

The Germanic Empire will build two new railroads. One will go from Kaliningrad to Warsaw to Berlin, via Wroclaw, Lodz and Szczecin, and finishing in Dresden. We also desire railroads from Amsterdam to Mainz, through the Hauge, Rotterdam and Eidoven. It will stop in Mainz, where they can take the line to Berlin, Frankfurt or Brussels. By creating these two lines all the major cities of the Germanic Empire will be well connected, and a person could travel from Amsterdam to Brussels to Berlin to Warsaw to Kaliningrad if they wished.

We may also construct a railroad in our North American lands soon. The first railroad we are creating will take around eight months, and the second five.

Probably a bit more than eight and five months. My railways from Paris to Nantes and Paris to Bordeoux (or however it's spelt) are taking me seven each.

Okay Alversia, your Indian railroad is finished. And mine from Paris to Nantes and the other from Paris to Bordeoux are also completed.

Great!

here is mine. . . it will happen in phases, purple is what i have, green is 2nd phase and yellow is third phase

here is mine. . . it will happen in phases, purple is what i have, green is 2nd phase and yellow is third phase

This will take a bit.

Has my railroad been approved?

This will take a bit.

yeah, i know. Tell when each segment is done, and then tell what the IP increase will be worth, please

Has my railroad been approved?

The South American one? Yeah, it will be done in a little while. It's harsh builing terrain and it's extremely long.

Can I have a rail road from Stockholm to St Petersburg and if Tooxipax(spelt right?) allows it from St Petersburg to Moscow.Please.:)

I can give you from Stockholm to the end of that gulf where Finland begins as your free railroad. If you want one to go from N. Finland, through Helsinki, to St. Petersburg you're gonna have to finnance that yourself and it will take time. You can ask Toopoxia if you want about building a railroad to Moscow.

Ok then I will change my free railroad from being from Stockholm to Helsinki to from St Petersburg to Moscow and then if it is OK with Toopaxia I will finance a rail road from Moscow to the Black sea.

You'll have to ask Toop, try posting on his factbook.

Ok ta.

For my first, free railroad;

Beginning in Corinth, passing through Athens, running along the west coast of Greece, taking a right turn just before Albania and proceeding along the northern border towards Istanbul.

Jeese, you caught on with the rules quick. I had to explain um to everyone else fourteen times, I didn't even have to show you um. I will post them, I just am unsure if I put them in the main thread if anyone will see um.

The glorious Empire of Portugal would like to expand their railroad in South America. To do this, we would like to take our railroad and connect it to the port cities. We wish to form three main thoroughfares from the existing railroad to the coast.

If possible, I'd like to build a railroad from Tokyo to Sendai to Aomori, preferably along the coast due to mountains.
I'd also like to begin construction of a railroad from Pyongyang to Seoul to Pusan. That would take a couple of years to finish. So lets say the initial railroad would go from Pusan to Ch'ongju (about 1/2 the way to Seoul)

Which cities?

Approved DGNT.

Can I build two different rail lines.

The first being one spanning from Matamoros, Mexico, to New Orleans, with another span of it heading north to Little Rock.

The second one I want to use my free one which roughly spans the whole of the coast of Tunisia. As well, may I add a span at a cost of IPs with a span of it going to Algiers.

Your free railroad is on the map... which is on my virus computer... which is about to be wiped. I'll update it when it's fixed. By the way, your free railroad does not raise IP.

By the way I never raised my IP, excpet when you gave me a couple extra points in some of my areas if that is what you meant.

I am not really sure which cities Antigonal, I just wanted to make some lines from the coast to the interior.

Okay, I'll get on that.
