Demo Challenge - How big can YOU make Boulder Bay?

MrFrans · Post by **MrFrans** » 05 Sep 2004 20:50

I'm bored.

I challenge eveyone to beat my population of 2120 in Boulder Bay.
I only used trams so it should be easy to do. I know i can do better myself.

edit: this challenge is supposed to be for the demo ,without time cheats. Else it would be easy, wouldn't it.

Well, i tripled my score.

I have a populations of 6326. I had to zoom out to make screenshot of the whole city.

The stations became very busy. I could have build a few trams extra, instead of just the 5.

Sorry.

I won't play the next 16 hours. You can take your time to break my record.

set up an underground train station and to another town, then loads of bus and tram routes around tha town, soon enough, you get loads of peeps

Yeah but that guy is in 1934 with only a 7.4% rating. This makes no sense.

You make a tram system very quick. Like in a minute.
And then you press fastforward.

MrFrans · Post by **MrFrans** » 07 Sep 2004 02:36

New record. 8659.

For a second or so it was even more. But they had to demolish perfectly good buildings.

NicoV · Post by **NicoV** » 07 Sep 2004 02:42

omg, 8659... was this within the 15 minute time limit or with the various time-cheats (like changing the windows clock) enabled?

MrFrans · Post by **MrFrans** » 07 Sep 2004 02:45

Without any time-cheat.

With it, it wouldn't be any fun.
The challenge is to do it within the limited time.

10 minutes to get a town that big

And it takes forever in TTD without the proper knowledge of town growth switches

NicoV · Post by **NicoV** » 07 Sep 2004 02:51

I think I would actually be spending way too much time building in order to be able to get the towns to expand that quickly.

This actually worries me quite a bit. Because what's gonna stop you from making megalopolisses (spelling? as in, cities with more than a population of 1 million) in full-length game?

I do think that the city grows a bit to fast.
It would be easy to grow any town big enough to accept goods/food. And then they probably even grow bigger.

But maybe city's grow slower in the more difficult scenario's.

Possibly. But hey, there's always the possibility of patching if Chris S. added some sort of automatic patch notification utility into the game.

You want BIG EH?
How is this for a first try?

EDIT

Sorry I removed the double.

Seeing how people around the world takes this game to its limits I wonder how difficult is to fine tune a game like this... people will try everything imaginable and also anything unimaginable...

In 2 days I've seen mega islands, flying trains...
