Task 1

I have joined server 5. The game on this server is running for 3 hours and 44 minutes.

There are a total of 3 players in this server.

I have extracted the details of the transport companies of all the players.

Player	Inauguration	CV
HowieRox	1962	$12796106
Bahnmeister	1963	$51330752
Sisu	1968	$54722266

According to my observation from the value of the company I can say that Sisu is more experienced than all other players. He started his transport company later than all other players in 1968. But he has managed his company in amazing way that his company more value than others.

The most inexperienced player is HowieRox because he started his company before than other players but the value of his company is less than all other companies. He has only 2 road vehicles and only 1 aircraft and he did not add more vehicles and other transport.

I have checked all the stations of all three companies and we all can see that all the companies are transporting mails from one station to the other station. All the players are using mail trucks to pick mails from the town and the trucks are transferring mails to the airport. Then the aircrafts are picking mails from the airport and delivering to the next airport.

In my opinion Sisu will win the game as he is already leading the game. He has more vehicles and delivering more cargo. The number of delivered cargo are shown in the graph and the yellow line shows work of sisu.

I have not seen anything new. Everything in the game seems normal to me. I have already seen aircrafts, preservation of the land for the expansion of the airport later on as well as mail trucks.

Task 2

I have joined server 5. Many players are already playing here and I will create my company here to test different things according to the task 1. I hope I will get enough time to complete the tasks here because the goal is to reach 15 billion.

I have bought 5 old model buses. I saw other models as well but I bought old MPS Regal Bus to transport passengers from one city to the other city.

Similarly I have bought some mail trucks. I bought old model mail trucks in the game despite of the availability of the new models.

Then coming towards the trains I bought a steam engine. I used this train to transport woods from the woods source to the sawmill. I attached several wood cars with this steam engine and started using it.

I wanted to connect another woods source to this sawmill but for this purpose I have to cross the water. I built a high speed girder steel bridge. This high speed bridge has a speed of 257 km/h.

By moving further and making the rail track I encountered another watery place and here I built a slow speed bridge. This bridge has a speed of 64 km/h.

So in this way I by making two bridges one high speed and one low speed I connected woods source to the sawmill.

I saw tunnels in some games but I did not try it on my own. I found a suitable place to build tunnel. I wanted to deliver grains and livestock to the factory. I built a tunnel of 12 tiles long. You can see the place here.

The tunnel is here. I have connected the openings with the rail tracks and inside the tunnel there is a rail track.

I run a long train here to pick grains and livestock from the source and deliver to the factory to make goods. The train passed through the tunnel smoothly and completed assigned tasks.

Then I further moved to the next experiment to build two bridges at same place to notice the clear difference between the speed of the bridges. I connected two towns via railway track. I run several trains between these two towns and on the way I built two bridges. This is the first bridge which has a speed of 257 km/h.

This is the other bridge parallel to the first one. The speed of this bridge is 64 km/h.

Here you can see the live working of the bridges. The red bridge has a speed of 257 km/h and the white bridge has a speed of 64 km/h.

We can notice that the trains passes through the red bridge speedily but slowly from the white bridge. The train arrived at red bridge later than the train on the white bridge but it was passed through the bridge earlier than the train from the white bridge.

Task 3

I am going to update this coal truck manually by selling and buying a new one immediately. You can see that this is a Balogh Coal Truck.

These are the assigned tasks of this balogh coal truck and it has a number 30.

Here you can see that I have sold this old balogh truck and bought a new Uhl coal truck. The interesting thing is that the number of the vehicle remains the same as well as the assigned tasks.

Here I have tried automatic renewal/replacement of the vehicles. I have started replacing old MPS Regal Bus to the new available Foster Bus.

Here I started auto replacing of the mail trucks.

Here you can see I started auto replacing of the old trains.

In order to start auto renewal of the vehicles I have opened settings to turn on this feature.

I have searched for the vehicle renew and I saw some options in the settings as you can see here. The auto renew vehicle option is off as indicated by the red box.

I turned it on by checking the red box. Now the vehicles will be renewed automatically when they will get old.

Now in order to create groups of the transport I have opened the vehicles section. On the bottom left side there is an option of the creation of group.

I have created three groups. Each group is representing the transport of different town.

Then I have assigned unique colour to each group of transport. I have used red, blue, and orange colour for the groups respectively. Now you can see the colour of the vehicles has also changed.
