Hi all,
I am considering to buy the Trainz (a new era) and I'm doubting between the standard and the deluxe edition.
I would want to ensure that the routes are not just linear, but are complex networks, so you have dozens of thousands of hours of gameplay there in the same map. I am willing to have like "many routes inside a single map" and not have to do the very same route everytime I load a map. As far as I understand there are 4 maps in Standard and 4 more maps in the Deluxe.
I've been looking at videos in youtube and info on the routes but I can't understand if the routes are a) rather "linear" (from here to there, with junctions at stations) or are rather b) a star (3 or 4 "main" locations in the map) or more like a "web" (many networked cities with different routes to go from here and there) so junctions allow you to travel to a new world in the same map.
So, further than the promo videos, I'd lilke if it is possible to see high-resolution "maps" of all 8 routes to decide "how fun" those maps will be. Ideal resolution would comprise all the map in an image in a detail so you can see railyards or main lines duplicating into secondary lines when approaching stations and so. All I need is to see the "complexity" of the Standard scenarios and the same for the "Deluxe" add-on scenarios.
Are those maps at some place that I can look at?
Thanks to all you that help me decide.
Xavi.
