The object of this map is to supply the cities on the upper outer rim of the crater and the three Mega cities in the base of the crater, you could try using planes but the cargo is limited so best used for passengers (and much more fun to use trains).

What you need is a network of trains in a slowly rising tunnel up to the rim however it will take many billions to tunnel up to the outer rim and setup the infrastructure to supply these cities so you will need to plan carefully to amass the money you will need to do the job.

Tips and suggestions for gameplay, don’t read if you want to do it your own way:

You will need to setup lots of supply routes in the lowlands to build up enough money to tackle the main objective.
Don’t be tempted to setup trade routes into the base of the rim until you have the money to back them up or you will go bankrupt unless you take out bank loans.

Once you do have enough money to do this you can tap into the oil supply’s in the base of the crater it will make you a steady turnover.

Next try to get some supply chains up and running for the three large cities inside the crater this should start and make you some good money and on your way to the billions you will need for the big build later on.

As you grow the infrastructure in the lowlands keep in mind once you have the money and build the route to the rim you will need some large hubs in the lowlands to supply the rim cities so now might be a good time to plan ahead.

Once you do make it to the rim you can make good money moving goods to cities and back down from the industries.
One more thing, if you find it hard to get the train tracks to the top of the rim try doing it in a spiral motion inside the mountain gradually moving up till you get to the point you want the tunnel to break through and maybe double track it one for up the other for down.

Lots of other ways to play this map so please feel free to go your own way these are only tips for those who might need them.
