GeeBee2 -> A single hex of rail costing 4680 metal??? (7/6/2020 8:11:50 PM)
|
I’ve just started playing, and I am well into my first real game. Lot’s to learn! I have conquered or made peace with all the minor powers near my starting city, and I am now at war with a major power that is separated from my empire by a large band of non-affiliated land. I have successfully pushed dirt roads across this stretch of wilderness. I would now like to push a railroad across this same wilderness. I was able to build approximately 10 hexes of railroad out into the wilderness, but can’t go any further and can’t figure out why or what to do next. The problem is that the cost per hex of new rail suddenly jumps astronomically. A rail line that was costing 80 industry and 80 metal per hex suddenly costs 4680 metal and industry per hex!!!
I’ve tried building a level two rail station in my home city (where my SHQ is located). I’ve tried building a level two rail station in my city that is closest to my attempt at a rail line across the wilderness. I built a rail station in the hex that has the last line of rail I was able to build in the wilderness. I have built supply depots further out in the wilderness. Nothing has allowed me to extend my rail line at a non-insane price. What am I missing here? Any advice would be welcome.
