    Build GSW K04 K09
    @MrBlarney this is ok right? I can't build of multiple railroads in one turn but I can build off both sides of a single railroad?

    @discrider assuming I didn't mess things up.

    Yes, that's fine: you can only build for one company per action, but the tracks you place can be in different parts of the map, as long as the company's whole line remains completely contiguous.

    May as well go the most direct route and conserve track

    There's that too I guess, but I'm planning to own all the railways so blocking someone else didn't factor so much into my planning.

  • Options
    discriderdiscrider Registered User regular
    .. I also can't see a more turn-efficient way to service those towns either.
    If I went through the open easy terrain, I'd still end up in K11 but with one less track to play with.

    $14 if white and purple
    So roughly $14:$10:$6 on even chances

    .. and also $0 in that $6 chance somewhere
    Only 3xblack doesn't pay

    Pretty sure there's no point taking a share in JPants' railway before doing this.
    Just means someone would take a share in my own.
    So time to collect money

    JPants' railway looks like 14:14:0, so... I'm probably ahead on EV too <~<

    Where is that second 14 from? I only get paid on black as far as I can see.

    Yeah, but pulling no black is ~33% probability
    Pulling black is 9+6+4=19/27 ignoring the slight pink bias

    Three cubes are drawn from the dividend cube bag: 1-7 indicates white cubes, 8-15 indicates pink cubes, and 16-22 indicates black cubes.

    Dividends 1: {6, 15, 21}

    One cube of each color has been drawn. Payouts are as follows:

    CBSC: No payouts
    WLW: £14 to discrider
    BCD: £6 to 38thDoe
    GSW: £14 to JPants
    MGW: £6 to Daemonis

    I'm preparing the status update now, action is on @Daemonis.
