This is just a general "Hi" from a new member and give the CO kudos for CIM and now CIM2. Loved the first game and enjoying learning how to play CIM2.
However, I didn't realize there were so many bugs until I registered last night. The only ones that cause some annoyance was:
Visible roads on underground view - difficultly in laying underground metros (mistakes cost a lot of money). Obviously we can save before we build.
No edge scrolling.
No bulldozer on the tutorial until the metro task. I can imagine that would be a pain for new players.
Time moves so slowly (even of fast speed), so patience is needed if you wish to make money. I understand this timetable/gamespeed is a bugbear for many, but in CIM it could take a couple of days to load passengers on a bus etc. It has gone from one extreme to another, but I could not suggest what the solution could be.
I also noticed that two different routes will have a few queuing passengers, yet one will make a large profit and one won't. On this, I've noticed that after owning a profitable bus line for a while, expenditure will dramatically increase and slowing the line begins to inexplicably loose money. So I removed the line, rerouted it, and the expenditure was at a minimal again. I couldn't find an explanation for this.
And steps to underground metro stops have been replace by teleporting booths of some kind! As sad as it sounds, I enjoyed watching cims cramming down the steps to reach the stations on CIM1. And on this, although we have large cities, I thought they'd be more visible cims than there was on CIM1. Saying this, I do wonder whether cims will be more numerous the more lines you have.
But overall I'm enjoying trying to understand the timetable, and the traffic congestion and road building capabilities give an added puzzle to solve. Although road building is also a very costly exercise. I'm looking to some of the aforementioned bugs being patched soon and to learning more from the forum.
