Here's the trick several people have come up with to beat the $3000 profit in one day scenario: buy all the railroads. The income you get from this alone will send you over the edge much more quickly than doing this by building retail stores. This is cheap, however, because you'll probably be deep in the red and, if the game were to continue, you would go bankrupt | Here's the trick several people have come up with to beat the $3000 profit in one day scenario: buy all the railroads. The income you get from this alone will send you over the edge much more quickly than doing this by building retail stores. This is a cheap trick, however, because you'll probably be deep in the red, and, if the game were to continue, you would go bankrupt. Ethics aside, this trick is really for people who have beaten the scenario already on its highest difficulty level and don't want to waste their time doing it again. If you want to be a good player, you should learn how to beat this scenario without resorting to tactics that would bankrupt you if the game didn't end when you won. | ||
Pay close attention to railroads and utilities in "first to a daily profit" multiplayer games! You should be careful about people who want all the railroads and utilities in general, but especially in these games! | Pay close attention to railroads and utilities in "first to a daily profit" multiplayer games!
