The temperate Long Goal is one of our oldest servers and also the 2nd most popular after server 3. With the original settings, the server used to start in 1925 and go until 2125. During the time more and more players suggested to start later so newer trains could be available and also to be possible for most games to reach Maglev period.
Before this change , the server also had a "dark period" when it had the Infrastructure Cost enabled.
Since the change to the current settings was made, server 5 became more and more popular , reaching the peak of 19 players. The game starts in 1960 close to the development of electric locomotives and runs until 2080. The map is 2048 x 512 with a goal of 15 billion euro. After a lot of changes, the current train limit is set to 450 and a maximum length of the trains of 20 (1 locomotive + 39 wagons). The average time to complete this server according to our database is 19 hours
The strategy is to start building intensively in the beginning and to coordinate your real life activities(nobody can stay 19 hours straight) with important periods of the game (change to TIM Electric ; change to Monorail ; change to Maglev ; newer Maglev locomotives)
Beside this, every new strategy is welcomed:)
