Servers > Server 8 Temperate Extreme Goal (20 Bilion Goal,2000-2300)
8 difficulty
Cossack:
This is a concern i've had for some time and with the new forum i thought i might aswell start a thread on here to see what other people think. Personally, i believe there should be changes made to the settings in order to make things fairer. Either the map size should be increased or the start and end years are changed. Conventional railed technology is highly inferior on desert in comparison to temperate and i believe that getting monorails earlier on is a good solution. However, i may not the best suited to judge as i've only played a few games on there so i am interested to hear the opinions of everyone who has played on #8(and especially geert as he's probably to only person to have won consistently to my knowledge). I hope i'm not the only one who would like change on this server as it'll take a few people to agree for this to even be considered as an idea. So, what is everyone's thoughts on the matter?
Geert:
I heard some rumors they wanted to make some changes in the near future (start later and later end)
i finished this game once in 35 years with pax lines only so its possible to start at year 2000 and still win it (if you build insanely fast)
but I agree about one thing I wont start at this map after 2010/2015 because then it hard to win. and after 2020 its almost impossible (especialy if they decrease pop growed in towns)

Cossack, thank you for posting here:). We already agreed on some changes to make for server 8 and when deciding, i also thought about making it easier. As for your idea "make map bigger" , it would be possible ...it you would talk to the Open TTD devs and tell them to make map max bigger:) Until then i`m afraid that 2048 is max.

Ahh, well upon writing my post i didn't realize that there have been changes made since i last played. i'm pretty sure it was 1024x1024 last time :P
also,

>35 years
shiiiit man, that's impressive.
But if that's the case, then i agree. having only 70mph & 100mph trains for the first 40 years sucks. By the time you actually get to the trains that are capable of getting the income needed to win the game it's already half way through. And let's say i join just as the monos come out, it'd take me another 10 years just to get the income needed to build the line that would provide the income to actually win the game and by that time the majority or industries are either already being used or have disappeared completely. That sucks and it needs to change IMO.
Batt:
Sure, that's exactly what we wanted to change: years to 1985-2090 :) but I think we need to decrease town growth rate somehow, since it's insane on the desert.
