The final push

Sometimes things are just not in your control. We came pretty close to gaining a level quite a few times today. However each and every time we came just short. It is at these times you realize the extent you can do by yourself. You can boost your trains with gold. You can repair your trains to 100%. You can switch over trains to other goods. You can invest in an industry but if other people are not doing the similar thing at the same time then it will be to no avail. It is at these times you realize how inept some people are. Associations taking over industries which they have no business going near to. People supplying goods that they should not be running. Some individuals messing up the occupancy rate by running required goods too early. How hard is it to read the city or association forums? Sometimes you feel like giving people a nice shake. Ofcourse most of them are too ignorant and adamant to accept that they are wrong but at least there is hope because some people are willing to learn and change.

I do not think there is a pure perfect strategy. However once a strategy is decided then stick to it until there is a need to change things. 

On another note interesting times are coming ahead. In one server we are going for an 8 association model and on another a 3 association model. Different tactics. Will one work and the other not? If both works then was there a difference in the cities? More on that later.
