Abstain pending further information. It has some good ideas, perhaps a more complex economy, more varied vehicle types (trams spring to mind), but also some things that are much more simplified than in TTD, for example no servicing depots. The graphics seem a bit dull, though that's not much of an issue for me. Still, I'll wait for the demo and make up my mind then. -- Josef Drexler | http://publish.uwo.ca/~jdrexler/ ---------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Please help Conserve Gravity | Email address is *valid*.
