Hi guys!
I have reworked the existing route limit systems to better suit airlines with bases in countries with less airports.
The main drive is from
https://airlineclub.createaforum.com/under-development-wish-list-suggestions/a-change-in-route-categorisation/ which I agreed that airlines setting up bases in smaller countries are disadvantaged due to the lack of domestic airports
I really want to apologize to all players which are affected by this! I understand this change might greatly impact airlines planning. Though change like this hopefully can make the game more fun and fairer in long term!
Enough babbling! So here's the explanation of the change:
- Route cross continents (different countries) but within 1000 km range is now considered "regional" instead of "international"
- Domestic and regional route limits are based on the NUMBER OF HQs/Bases an airline has. And the boost of each type is based on the country it is in:
Country with size 3+ Airport Count | Domestic Route Limit Boost per base | Regional Route Limit Boost per base |
<= 2 | 1 | 12 |
<= 4 | 3 | 10 |
<= 8 | 6 | 8 |
<= 10 | 9 | 6 |
> 10 | 12 | 4 |
For example for a player with HQs in Singapore and a base in China would get:
Singapore (domestic/regional) : 1 / 12
China (domestic/regional) : 12 / 4
==========================
Total (domestic/regional) : 13 / 16
So overall for airlines with more bases in countries with abundance of airports will get more domestic routes and vice versa
I tried to tweak the number so to minimize impact to airlines with a good mix of bases. Please let me know you thoughts and perhaps I can adjust further.
Many thanks for playing again
