[r4tch3t 0]

 I don't see any trains in the game , Must I pay For Them ? or they will be in another content pack ? pls help I don't know where i will find them pls help 

[Asheroo 53]

They're not out yet. They're still being implemented by MC. When it is out, it will be free for the PO subscribers.

As for single players, there is quite a chance they will sell the content packs, so we still may be able to get it yet.

Even though they were included in game trailers they are not presently in the game.  You can rent them for a monthly fee by subscribing to the Planet Offer*.

_{*When you stop paying the monthly fee the trains will disappear along with the cities you made.}

They will most likely be released in Content Pack 3 near the end of the year. Content Packs are currently free yet exclusive to the Planet Offer subscribers. I think, however, that everyone is forced to download them despite most players not being able to use them. Content packs might eventually become available for purchase for playing in offline mode (most likely with a discount to planet offer subscribers).

and people have high hopes for this game because.........?  

This is going to turn a lot of players and new customers off if it hasn't already.

In fact, there is no inter=city train but have inter-city train.

I would guess that if it was going to turn people away, it has already, as this has been known for quite some time and already has been complained about endlessly and rehashed ad nauseum in the forums.

Files already implemented in game are one station, 1 railroad (same as normal road) and an intercity link for railroads; nothing more.

Trains won't be in the third pack. I post the pack content:

Third content pack:

.A comprehensive bus system: create your own bus lines and place each bus stop

.A selection of new roads inspired by roads from US, Britain and other European countries

.A selection of different service vehicles from different countries (police , ambulances, fire brigade)

Trains will be available next year, and we don't know in wich pack...

I didn't know that it was "for rent".  I figured you'd buy a mini expansion pack and get to keep it.  I still see a lot of people excited for the future of CitiesXL on this forum but the more and more I find out about their business practices, I just don't get it.  Yeah, we'll get trains and other new additions, but, you can't keep it, you have to constantly keep paying.

Sorry for rehashing, was unaware of this "rental" service.  Is this how it's going to work for all packs?

This whole "renting" thing is a joke...so is releasing an unfinished game...I want a city builder game I can own, not rent. I would be into playing the online version for the connection activity and the trading and negotiating for goods and such, but they are really driving this game in the wrong direction and seem to be very desperate to have the online version work that they are willing to sacrifice the quality of the game for it.

I will not buy an unfinished game and I will not pay to "rent" features that should be apart of the game...so how long before the hackers of the world crack this game and make it better and fix the mistakes that Monte Cristo is making so that we can have a great city builder game.

@urbanlife : You are completly right, i was stupid when i bought this game, very unfinished and a bit expensive (45-50 euro in Hungary)

[gamur 0]

And can anybody tell me if there`s someone making a mod (I`m completely new here,so I don`t know a lot) that makes trains available?

[mentarman 14]

I think there is some very preliminary tinkering with it. Right now I think it is very early in the modding life of CXL, right now it is about unlocking and bringing out things that MC hadn't unlocked yet or hadn't finished yet. Trains are under the latter, they aren't really functional and there's some major problems from what I understand. And no one's at the point really of adding entirely new content to the game. But maybe that will come.

I am not a modder at all btw, all the above is just stuff gleaned from following the discussions. Mentarman: following the modding forum so you don't have to.

[kiwispanker 1]

there's an easy way to unlock the train station, the rail tracks and the rail bridge, but it doesn't look too pretty. the train station is pretty messed up and can't connect to the rail lines. the layout of the rail line on the bridge needs to be fixed. even though MC did write a railroad crossing (over an intersecting road) editor file, it hasn't been implemented yet. worst of all, they aren't functional; maybe tomorrow i'll look if MC made "functioning" trains...doubt it.

[Skimbo 304]

@ kiwispanker : You don't have to waste your time, they haven't made functional trains.

[jazyje 1]

Is the tram mod still functional --- I'd like to download it but I cannot find it anywhere.....

[Skimbo 304]

Yes, it should be. I think the fastest way to get it is to PM haltendehand on CXS.

[Red Lightning 7]

sorry for being doumb, but where is CXS?
