Exactly. It's like most guides of whatever, they give you an example and it's up to the player to adapt it to fit the island they are working on. Since no two maps are the same (well they can be) we must adapt the basic principles to the map we are playing.

Much like I've been playing OpenTTD lately and have been reading the wiki that shows me different layouts for the rails, and on a "perfect" map I could duplicate the layout, however on a random map it couldn't be done without some seriousl terraforming, much the same as in Tropico 3, it would have to be adapted for the environment.
