Ticket to Ride: Classic Edition

The description of this achievement should be clear enough. You have to score more points than your opponent(s) while connecting these cities which are located in the southern part of the map:

- Cadiz
- Barcelona
- Marseille
- Roma
- Palermo

Make sure you are playing the Big Cities 1912 map, playing any other European map and meeting the requirements will not unlock this achievement!

It is advised to pick your destination tickets in the beginning of the game to be at least close to the cities mentioned above. I was able to start the game with Madrid - Roma (perfect!) but also Madrid - Berlin. Luckily you need only 17 trains to connect the cities needed for this achievement, which means that you still have 45 - 17 = 28 trains left to complete other destination tickets.

There are way too much possibilities to complete a game while also meeting the requirements for this achievement. All I can give is a visual aid of my achievement-winning game in which my yellow railway network scored 105 points, which was more than my opponent Marg Loughbot who only scored 77 points:



I am not sure whether you can still receive this achievement when connecting through your opponent's railway by placing a station. If someone could let me know in the comments, I can add it to this solution and give you credits!
