Zollerlich PS:
The contests are hold in every second years's July.

There is some bug in the game, so if your money is over ca. 2.1 million, you'll lose the game, because the executor comes...

The game ends in 6th May 1940...!!!

Good luck!

Some tips

If you want a really quick play:

1. Don't fly anywhere (neither with passengers, nor with freights)

2. Get 2 x 3.000.000 loan for 3 years (you can also sell your company's 49%)

3. Wait only for contracts to construct zepps for sale. Opportunities for contracts appear at (about) the following dates:
1901/01/15
1901/09/20
1901/12/06
1902/07/07
1903/10/15
1904/04/22
1904/10/24
1905/04/03
You have 3 weeks to fly there and take part on the tender (under City menu).

4. Save the game before those dates, so you don't have to fly all around the world (with Z1 it would be impossible to fly to San Francisco in 3 weeks)

5. Apply for the tender and save the game. Try to get contract for 3-4 zepps.

6. After winning a contract, try to construct fast:
118 workers for 6 weeks,
141 workers for 5 weeks,
176 workers for 4 weeks
Always have enough raw materials, price is not so important!
In assembly you should have always dozens of zepps :-)

7. Also try to develop fast (with at least 50 scientists). Don't build yourself a zep, until you finished all your contracts! After developing Z-8, you can transfer people from Berlin to San Francisco for 4.220 or take the longest trip from San Franciso to New Delhi for 6.170 (in this case, you often have to fly back to Berlin for maintenance)

8. Scheduled flights are good for passive income: you should have in every town 1 office with beginner management (costs less), with 2 routes and only 1 zepp / route (the more zepps you have, the more expenses you have, but the income won't really change, it must be a bug..)! The ticketprices are almost unimportant (bug 2.): for inland flights 10/1/10, for oversea flights 100/5/100 (person/post/freight). You can have max. 27 routes, income is about 130-140k/route.

Bonus: races are held at 1901/07/05, 1903/07/xx and 1905/07/06

I hope it helped!

Not really. The review itself is decent content-wise. And replacing a review just because you don't agree with his opinion doesn't sound right. Just thinking that my own reviews could be replaced at some time in the future because someone doesn't agree with it makes me not want to write any more reviews for Abandonia.

Pellaeon I've had Zeppelin a long time ago, but I didn't knew how to play with it, so I deleted it from my PC. I've downloaded it from here a year ago. Now that I have it again, I play a lot with it. I even exported its music, which is, in my opinion, well-composed.

By the way, the game really could be harder, but it's still complex. The only flaw is that the scheudled routes bring in too much money.

What I still like in this game is the History option. It's good to see what happened on a particular day, and I also didn't know that the Hungarians were expelled from the Antwerp Olympics, and because I am Hungarian, I frowned a bit on that news. I didn't know that!

However, the game is fun to play, and a good way to wack time. My rate on this game is 5. Could be a bit better, but a lot worse. It's about 95%.

Luaan The game is not really hard... Although I apparently used a little different strategy - I first enlisted 100 scientists and sold almost all of my company. Then I got a contract on airships (150 workers) and that was more than enough to cover the research expenses. In almost no time I hade better airships... and then better. And even more... I also produced the Z-3 as fast as possible for myself, because Z-1 really s... doesn't pay well This way, I could get anywhere in a fast and realiable way. And just got another contracts... And - don't forget the advertising... even the 15k can help you a lot in the beginning (it will actually cover all your costs on fuel and repair) And, I got rich revenues on those trade routes, though they are not nearly as efficient as your promo-ships. But a 10-ship fleet could get me around 5M per week (don't remember the type, sorry... I bet with Z-7s it would be three times as big...). The capacity/price thingy on the routes is rather strange as well, you have to keep an eye on the revenues, else you'll one day find out, that all of your routes are not profiting.
