18OE: On the Rails of the Orient Express

Description
Mod Author's Note
---
There is some scripted set-up and automatic tile sorting in addition to the usual scripting.

Components for the scenarios are included, but you can find individual mods for each scenario HERE. (work in progress)

As an FYI, this mod (and any mod that uses my scripting engine[github.com]) is fully compatible with TTS's save system and undo feature. It is also playable in hot seat mode or even entirely solo.

Description from Board Game Geek[boardgamegeek.com]

18OE: On the Rails of the Orient Express is a monster 18xx game covering entire European continent. There are five types of companies - Private, Minor, Regional, Major, and National.

As in every 18xx game players invest in railway companies by buying stock, with the majority stock holder of each company deciding how the company acts on the game board. Depending on companies' actions value of stock changes, and players might receive dividends for stock held. The winner is the person with most money after adding the value of his stock holdings.

This game is notable for its size, that is rivaled only by 18C2C. The focus of the game is making the Orient Express run - having a train travel from one of the western capital cities to Constantinople.

While the full game takes 12 hours to play, shorter scenarios are included that take 4 and 6 hours each.

found the solution, one who clicks the payment gets the money from the charter/minor. cool.

we found another error. Minors have no shares, so how to put one in the hand to automatically calculate dividend? they have option only pay half?? the funny part was when we activate pay half, money goes always to one player for all minor companies, even if there are no shares in his hand for minors? Anyone can explain and give us advice how to make it work? Where are stock certificates for minors?

ok, good we did it so. But now another problem, we waned to switch from hotseat to MP via 2 PCs, and first time load was ok, but later the non server player has his money fonts all messed up?_? and when we switch server, the other player then gets these artifacts. completely strange. Dont know what to do to fix it.

You don't need to do anything to play a two player game. Just don't use the other colors.

We realized that we deleted all the players except two and that might have caused the error. How do we reduce the number of players to two? thx in advance

we got a bug after initial buying we pressed undo once and player money accounts disappeared with an error message that the red players money account object can not be found (we dont have a red player, just grey and violet for 2 player game) help, what can we do?

Those sorts of shareless companies pay the player who clicks the button, so unfortunately solo play involved hopping between seats or manually paying dividends. Once all the minors are gone there's no issues.

Well done, Scott! How do I know the zones where payouts would automatically update for a player? So if I have Minor A, where is the line between player 1 vs player 2?

Lol hey Jeff it's Scott.
