I've played it quite a few times but I tend to generate an enormous map and then I lose interest.

[Krill]

Oh, same as me then?

I was wondering if people knew of any interesting settings or challenges.

[NobleHelium]

Well, last I checked there is a very serious cooperative MP community where they generate a map, discuss how to best exploit it, and then play for like a weekend and fill up the entire map with a huge rail network or whatever. It's quite insane actually.

played it quite a back in summer of 06 and were a active player in the coop MP scene back in #openttdcoop single digits

Giant Rail Junctions are fun to design ...

Oh boy I played (and liked) the original TTD back when it was new. Now I feel old

[Square Leg]

Yes. I play it.

I always tend towards trying to make more realistic games rather than max trains/profit.

Eg:

[Sian]

Trains (and to a lesser degree Bus stations) are way to big to handle realisticly ... even a 8lane station (quite common really in bigger cities ...Munich Central station is the biggest in Europe with 34 platforms + an additional 6 for U-Bahn) with junctions and the like, fills more than most cities in the game

Thanks for the link (I think ). I somehow missed the original game, but this is definiately heaps of fun and a massive time sink.

Giant virtual train-set! W00t!
