TOP TEN! Mini Metro Daily Challenge Stockholm Extreme 2024-07-19

Finished 4th with 1326*. Share your scores.
*Had a lot of interesting late game decisions, varied line lengths and balanced lines. Until I didn't. I was pretty happy with the effort. That said, I think 1st and 2nd place weren't actual scores so hopefully this isn't happening again.

Nice job! Congrats!
I like your late-game handling here, and how you develop your capacity through time.

[@DaveKaufman]

8:38 was me breaking all my rules. It was very hard.

[@woxiong]

​@@DaveKaufmanGlad to see you willing to make offensive moves when it's late-ish in the attempt!
I failed in this DC via a lone triangle station overcrowding with circle passengers, unusual.

@@woxiong I like you saying my move at 8:38 was late-ish implying it wasn't yet late game for your liking. In normal Stockholm that northern island is always the near last to get stations so that is pushing late. The eastern islands were a bit unusual here as normally more stations earlier. But clearly my issue was the + station access from west and by that I mean having a route that came from the west, north of the water would have allowed plus passengers to move in multiple directions. That is something I failed to plan for.

​​​@@DaveKaufman 8:38 I'd consider this the end of mid-game actually, considering you've got trains "in the bank" still, for instance. In hindsight, could spending your new line directly from NE island to the lone triangle be good? Allowing more resources to Red? Idk.
Now that you mention it, 2:15 you could be more patient (surprise! :p) with extending Light Blue. Red to cross instead would be preferable IMO, since it's shorter. And a carriage there would deliver rhombus people in the other end. I could be wrong.
