Yes, otherwise I'd be hosed.

Do you get more routes for a second base in the same country?

Air Luxembourg should be pleased.

Well I'm not complaining. 32 new regional routes, just what I wanted the whole time.

Rampantfox, Yes you are correct in saying you still need to build bases to get your old route count back, but that's unavoidable once you expand and need reputation points to grow bigger as an airline past 50ReP. that's correct but the new system should be a net gain in routes once you're fully expanded. It's a motivation to move out and expand beyond a single area, plus multiple hubs increase traffic through transient demand by a ton anyway. It's more of a balance update to make different approaches for different airlines serving different sized countries more viable. It does however put more emphasis on managing another aspect of your airline and planning out expansions will go a long way.


It seems that your airline has room for 4 more bases as it stands and is on the edge of 5. If you're worried about cost, you can just drop the non-essential bases that you need for new routes in no name cities for low cost, and then reallocate them later as you see fit. It's a bit of a financial burden for small airlines, but it's no more than maybe 1->15 million depending on airport size and country income level.

Yeah I'm not to sure about this one.

Domestic Route (current/limit):   47/13
Regional Route (current/limit):   25/16
Intercontinental Route (current/limit):   1/12

Build more bases :D

I'd have to build 5 extra bases now just to get access to more Domestic US routes. This just took the game down a huge notch for me.

I have fixed a calculation problem that t1853 pointed out. So u should get a boost of 12 domestic and 4 regional now :)

which means your new number for domestic should be :
47/26

so u would need at least 21 extra slots of domestic expansion :)

If you build hub in country like US, u have 12 extra domestic limit per base. Which means you should only need 2 more bases before u can start expanding again? :)

I know it's still a bit of a bleh but i hope it's not too bad  :-\

I would still need to build 3 bases. 2 bases to bring me back to even and the third in order to launch new routes.

I have a neat idea! If you're gold in a high-value country like (oh, let's just pick a few at random) Japan, US, UK, or France, then you should get lots of extra bonuses.

 8) 8)

But champions in those countries are already reaping fat champion point bonuses XDDD

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
<= 2112
<= 4310
<= 868
<= 1096
> 10124

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 ;)

You are definitely right! I'm going to double the route limit from HQs to compensate that!

The extra 12 regional routes is nice, but I'm definitely locked into some domestic routes I was going to cancel now :P
