Transport Tycoon Forums

This is my current game, it's a 2-player using Simple City Builder script and some small patches, the most important one being daylength which is set at 4. We started in 1930 on opposite corners of the map (temperate climate but using a random generated arctic heightmap to get better mountains). Scenario editor was used to ensure the 2 towns we intended to claim were the same size (approx 1500) and had all required cargo accepting industries.

Company and city status as of Nov 2003
and below are overviews of both towns

Gorgeous screenshots from the game. You have huge cities just like in real life. Please - show the screenshots in a more enlarged scale. I want to see what happens in these megacities - traffic.
Happy new year, Eddy Arfik

Ahem... I'm sure that was the best multiplayer scenario ever! I like those shots!

Insanely busy harbours!

Thanks for the comments, here are some zoomed-in shots of Durdeyhoar. This first one is the city centre, the container terminal here handles most of the freight coming from the north and west of the city, although the pipes here are actually running under the harbour from a refinery to the south. Also visible is part of the metro loop line and the sprawling company headquarters built around an old brewery. This is slightly to the west of the city centre, where the harbour becomes a river and some heavy industry continues to operate even though it is completely surrounded by luxury highrise apartments. Third shot is the south side of the harbour, showing the second container terminal, this one handles freight from the south of the map. We can also see the International airport and the highway leading out of town (currently closed due to emergency roadworks). The small rail yard in the bottom left is for track maintainance trains and occasionally storing old locomotives, it doesn't handle any general cargo.

And here are some zoomed in shots of Beaver. This first one show the city centre with several metro lines, a large inter-city terminus station and lots of parkland. Second shot shows the northern part of the city with a large industrial complex and yet more parkland and open areas This third shot is the main freight terminal just south of Beaver. Not sure how to describe this one, my brother has a completely different building style and I don't even know what half of these tracks are for.

Thank you very much for the screenshots from the game. They are incredibly beautiful. Amazing and gorgeous build ports, stations, railway junctions, parks, quays. All surprisingly well constructed. Cool. Stunning. Cool. Great.

These are some of the most epic screenshots I've seen on the forums in a long time. Enough to make even me jealous

Impressive. Almost unbelievable.

Do your cities have all-connected passenger network, i.e. a passenger can from everywhere to everywhere? What is the typical passenger waiting count on junctions?

No, it's not an "anywhere to anywhere" style network, each line is seperate. Interchange stations are actually seperate stations built to look like one large station, a good example is below. This is one centre platform for the terminating branch line, while the two outer platforms for through trains are a different station. Most stations across the network have less than 1000 people waiting.

Thanks, that explains It was easy to forget that there are different network styles to play.

Is there station under bridge or is this some kind of new object magic?

I'm using the "Bridges over everything" patch, so that is in fact usable road bridge over part of the station.

Very cool! Thanks!
