NAFTA Phase II
2010 February 11
Mapper: Jancsika
Era #1 is the agricultural phase. There are two 9-step runs.
Era #2 is the industrial phase and there are two 12-step runs.
The resources are very limited, only one starting resource for each run.

Great mod, along with the patch to stop crashes it really feels like an entirely new game.
I’m wondering though.. time progression seems very slow and there’s only the two available trains so far. Is this intentional?
Yes it is.
ok, played it longer, mind blown etc, faith in this game utterly renewed even though it isn’t an official release.
Have some concerns though about the mod. In that having more cars per train (is there a mod for that) and more tracks per station would trully enhance what you’ve accomplished here.
But the game itself is.. almost not up to task. Where after Nafta II I don’t think Firaxis 2K should consider another game on anything lower then win7x64 with gobs of ram and dedicated 3D hardware. In the later stages of this scenario laying track takes a minute and even though it is still worth it, i wonder where that leaves Nafta III?
Is there any possibility for another game saving mod like this one?
There should be a number of high quality maps. You may want to check out Basin & Range, Utah and the newer Aberdeen Carolina and Western Railroad.
Unfortunately there is no way to add more than eight cars, it is a game limitation that only Firaxis can fix.
I really like this map even if the production routes are very convoluted which is part of the enjoyment of this map.
I may have found a problem however. I had to ship processed coal. At first the refinery converted coal to processed coal. After a little while it stopped processing coal although it carried on converting oil into nitrates. Also processed coal dissappeared from the list of products.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Other problems I’m afraid. Various products after a while stop being produced even though the correct resources are being shipped to them. The trains that are set to only run when full run when empty from the places where the resources stop being produced. An example of this is producing grain for animal feed. Starts OK then stops producing for no reason.
Shame really as the map is good.
We had a big discussion about most of the matters you brought up:

I suggest you to read it.
Also be sure that the Usermaps and CustomAssets folders are completely empty before you install this map.
As for the disappearing coal, i have not heard thisd before. Please try again and see if it still happens.

Followed your suggestions. Plays fine now.
Great map.
Thanks.
Getting a bit frustrated here!! Tried everything but can´t get it to work. Installed it like 20 times but without any luck. Can anybody help with a bulletproof plan ?

This is rather large map. Demanding on your computer resources.
What kind of a machine do you have?
Jancsika
Thanks for quick reply. My system:
Intel core 2 duo processor P7350
4 GB DDR3
Up to 1791MB Nvidia Geforce 9600M
Not the strongest I know. First of all I can get it to show the NAfta II map in the menu. Have I placed the files the wrong place? Kept the files where the installer put them.
I got it to work, used a patch on this site: http://news.gaurc.us/?p=1255
Just an FYI, that patch is the same one as documented here: http://www.smrsimple.com/2010/02/3gb-enabler-fix-for-windows-vista-7/
