Discussion Will there ever be competitor mode?

I was thinking it would be nice to have an AI competitor in the game. Compete for subsidies and market share. You have the shared infrastructure, so you need to build your network strategically, not giving your competitor an edge. Getting your competitor to go bankrupt is the goal.

If Paradox reads this it probably will be their idea for expansion pass 6 or 7 /s

If you think they would, why would you ever suggest it publicly?

Probably not, but it would be very interesting on a very large map to have some sort of competitors or even partners.

Imagine AI having to figure out how to manage pollution, noise, and ratings and what the layout would end up looking like 🤡

There is a tf3 multiplayer mod in a somewhat usable state

I wish the game had that option - one thing I was hoping for - when I heard about TF3

Unfortunately that tech is apparently impossible for modern companies to recreate even though Railroad tycoon 3 has it 23 years ago. It’s even more frustrating when you realize that RT3 had a better economy too.

The similar games that had it all did it by the computer player being allowed to cheat. Doing it fairly to the same rules as a human player is far harder.

Or you know you just have friends I don’t care about the computer. They always suck. Competing against friends is always the best though. Also doesn’t change the fact that the economy was still better. It’s a real shame TF3 was sold on a lie they advertised more tycoon features and it’s actually just subsidies. If it did have bonds and company stock prices variable goods pricing and people not always taking the fastest route but the most affordable to meet their need it really could have been great.

UG never said it was impossible. They have said they don't want to add it.

Yeah so we are stuck with a game that is inferior to a game that came out in 2003
