Terminal - what's it for

[Jet Blast]

Greetings!

Wouldn't somebody tell me the use of the "Create a new Terminal" option?

Does it create more gates or does it reduce the gate's fares?

Thank you in advance,
Jet Blast

Building a terminal create new gates for your own private use.

The upkeep of the gate is 75% of the gate rent.

Because this is such a short round, others have stated that building a terminal is not recommended...  I usually like building my own terminal because they can be expanded, removing the worry of acquiring more gates...

Terminals are VERY helpful in in rounds with 5+ years. Especiallyin places like LHR, ATL, ORD, and JFK where gates run out quickly

[epxair]

for me .....it is useful even if it is only a one year round

[Jps]

Don't use it if you dont need it. Its a short round, you'll be better off renting. If you ever pass 25 gates   , good luck

Thank you folks, you were all very helpful.  

btw, when will this round end? How am I suppose to know how long will this round last?

Again, please excuse me for making these, perhaps, silly questions, but I'm new here (only playing for a couple of weeks...). :twisted:

The game will stop on the 24th Dec. 1984 (game time of course).

After that everyone's alliance connections will be cancelled, you'll loose your gates&planes + your money will be reset.

Actually, that would make it 4 full years:

1 Jan 1983 - 24 Dec 1983
1 Jan 1984 - 24 Dec 1984
1 Jan 1985 - 24 Dec 1985
1 Jan 1986 - 24 Dec 1986

I kinda can't wait til multiworlds gets going!

OK, in that case it's 1985. I'm no good at calculating :oops:

Hahaha it's all good.  I thought 1983-86 would make it 3 years myself, but then I thought about the start and finish dates.  I guess it is Christmas Eve, 1985 :-)
