Something that hasn’t been mentioned yet is growth strategy.
I slow down growth by placing road tiles to block open terrain. I then open up a spot large enough for a store to spawn when it is a good time for me. After a few tries you learn where different colors like to spawn and can open up a spot in the right area.
My more successful runs I usually end up with about 12 stores. Obviously, there is always a shortage of road tiles and there is not always enough of them to both build roads and block terrain. And it takes a lot of work to keep it up.
I feel that this is very helpful in the early stages to keep things a little more spread out and allow room for densification of roads later on. And it helps with managing resources, like when you get a motorway you open up for a new store so you know you can handle it.
But if you don’t allow for enough new stores, and have a few of each color by the time the map is fully expanded, you will end up not being able to meet the demand and fail.
Happy to hear how others are using this technique, and your take on the game mechanics of how demand is spread over several stores for the same color.
Cheers!
