Campaign Video Walkthough

[Vercingetorix35]

Hi,

I know some people have problems with the campaign. So, I decided to make some videos to show you how I completed them. I show you every line and I explain their purposes. I also plan to make videos for the Munich campaign (even if it's easy) and maybe Tokyo.

Very nice!
Good work! I'm sure it will help many new players.

Can we post it on the wiki?

[Vercingetorix35]

Of course you can.

[Vercingetorix35]

Scenario 4 will probably come this week.

[belGician]

Looks nice, thx!

[Vercingetorix35]

You're welcome. I knew the lack of video walkthrough for campaign was a very important lack.

Edit: scenario 4 is ready.

[belGician]

It's funny to see a different playing style from my own. I mainly use bus routes to connect tram/metro/waterbus stops. It seems you are using buses as the bulk of your transportation system, whereas trams are the bulk of mine... strange to see a different playings style.

[Vercingetorix35]

That's because buses are cheaper than trams (I always have a way to finish a month wthout money ^^).

[belGician]

Well, I like using tramlines because finding out the optimal tramroute (passenger wise) combined with the optimal traffic avoidance (building most of it offroad) is one of the things I love most about this game. Busses, to me, are just there to feed my well thought out tramline into a metro. I'm also a "cheap player" I refuse to take out loans, so I grind it out until I can build what was in my head. Otherwise the game would get too easy. e.g. take out a loan, build bus-fed metro system, build stops & assign busses to do missions & delete afterwards -> scenario finished.

[Vercingetorix35]

That's because tasks wants us to make very long lines. I don't always delete lines personally, I can also simply divide them.

I take loans at the beginning of the games if I need them to build a big and shiny metro which makes thousands of $. I prefer those that get refunded faster (in 2 years) so I only lose money for 2 years (and not 5), but I generally try to "refund" them when I have money for (if I have 3.000 and if there is a loan where less than 3.000 are remaining, I just say bye bye to this loan).

But the first tram line in my Helsinki guide is very nice, it acts like a metro for me...

[Vercingetorix35]

After scenario 5...

[Vercingetorix35]

Scenarios 6 and 7 are online, I think I'm getting better doing this guide.

What program do you use to make these videos?

[Vercingetorix35]

I use Fraps, full version.

[douglasrac]

I use Fraps, full version.

With Fraps you cannot put text in the video, banners etc. Fraps you use to "film". But which one you use to edit?

[belGician]

Scenario 7, 5m55s: 506 people at a bus stop ^^

Ah sorry. I use Windows Movie Maker (others just don't recognize Fraps format, dunno why - same if I try to directly convert to FLV with MediaCoder so I could upload videos with a bigger resolution).

Bus line 1 was already here before I started ^^.

[Vercingetorix35]

The main campaign's guide is now complete! (Just in time for the game's birthday!)

I have a question.
i'm playing cities in motion the US DLC and i'm stuck at a certain mission.
you have to build 3 lines the prevent eventual earth quakes.
i've built an aerial line but when i try to build other lines it won't add up. I tried building a subway line that link the three sites (no success) same thing with the bus line (no success) and i need to build 2 other lines in order to continue the campaign
any help would be appreciated
