Suggestions / VoIP communication during game

« on: January 08, 2022, 12:14:57 pm »

Hallo Community,

with some players I had really a fun time chatting during the game. But often I missed messages cause` the focus on the gameplay. I thougt it could be a nice idea if we can chat via headset. Therefore my question: is there interest from the community and what do the admins think about that idea?

We could think about Discord, Teamspeak or even Mumble. Maybe someone has additional Ideas, like "only registed members could join" and so on...

It would be really great if we had a little discussion about this topic

Complaints / Highscore Calculation

« on: January 08, 2022, 11:57:44 am »

Hey,

it`s not actually a complaint, it`s more a question about how the calculation works.
Yesterday I played a on Server 2 a game against several people. Was really hard and quite fun. I managed anyhow to win and got 18Points. Second in line was Eliza, but she got 19Points.

2022-01-07 18:40:04   18   2   4,310,540 / 0   1649 / 4   1   Yes --> My stats
2022-01-07 18:40:04   19   2   772,976 / 0   1285 / 4   1   No --> Stats from Eliza

Don`t misunderstand me, I like the idea that winning isn`t the main goal and you have to prepare several things to get a lot of points. But I have no clue how the Highscore calculation works. According to http://www.n-ice.org/openttd/highscorecalculation.php I know that i had (in comparison to Elize):

• higher company value
  less vehicles
  won the game

And I`m quite sure that her performance rating wasn`t that much better than mine.

So my question is on what should I focus in the game to get points? Really I tried several tactics but I never get more than 19 points on server 2. I understand that you don`t want to describe the complex algorithm, but it would be great if you can tell me/us a sort of weighting, or in the best case some direct advice like "you have to get 50% performance rating for additional points" (In gamification words: Main Goal: win, Second Goal: get 50% company value)... I hope you understand what I mean.

Anyway thank you sooooo much for preparing all the servers. It is really great!
