Since Steam and Good Old Games put this on sale this summer, it is a lot of fun revisiting Railroads! on modern systems. Bought it again on gog.com and running on my win 10 and win 11 systems. Even my old custom maps are working. Kewl

Patronage lately I've only been selecting the +20 friendly status with all civs, and leaving the rest alone for ideologies. Exploration I only completed one time for the achievement.

Air Reconnaissance!

You have already done everything I would have done, except maybe update the video driver for your graphics card.
