I like that one! Hübsch!

But I think larger cities should be used rarely in a scenario.

I made this scenario the other day. Its 512, 512, and I tried to create a combination of contrasting landscapes in 1 map. Its ment to be quite hard for route finding with a moutain rage dividing up the maps. The primary industries mostly sit a long way from the secondry industries, although some are closer to help the game get going. The closer they are the less they produce to incorage longer routes.

The Terrain types/ features are

A large flat area
A high mountaintous range across the center
A high Bootlle neck mountain pass
Tight coal valleys
Bottleneck cuttings
Flooded marsh/forest areas
Large Sea areas with islands
a Large inland lake
Large distances between most towns, although 1 cluster for beginner routes, and to make it harder as they swell into the bottle neck pass.
and then a few standalone mountains.

I havn't named it yet...so name it something better if the maps ok.

Ok, the results are there... Well, that is, I judged the scenarios, and now the OTTD devs have to decide which ones to include. I did give an advice tho. For those scenarios who didn't make it; I'm sorry, it's nothing personal (damn I hate to be negative about someone's work), but they in general need more work.

In order of post time;

"Skadi Islands" by Purno: 7.6 --> Include
"Baki - Coco" by Purno: 6.8 --> Exclude
"Cornwall & Isles of Scilly" by davery83: 7.2 --> Include
"Las Islas Verdes" by Chrill and Saibot: 7.2 --> Include
"Wales and West England" by Born Acorn: 8.0 --> Include
"Terra Incognita" by fr_tycoon: 8.4 --> Include
"Honeypot Ridge" by doktorhonig: 6.4 --> Exlcude
"Jargon" by <bert>: 6.8 --> Exclude
"New Scenario" by Ben Robbins: 8.8 --> Include

If you have comments about the judgement, you're welcom to post them here.

EDIT: Marks are from 1 (überbad) to 10 (übergood).

Hm, maybe there wasn't enough time, but I think, there should be more scenarios in the game (or at least in an extra-official scenario-package).

Not that I want to see mine included, I'd just say: There should have been 3x time (some weeks), 3x as much submissions, and 3x as much inclusions.

This also means 3x the work for you, Purno, so it's understandable, that you don't want to test 30 scenarios.

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 15 Jan 2007 16:04

Let me explain that. Like a week ago Darkvater asked me to organize this thing. He also said it had to happen in 2 weeks, so that's why the hurry. I thought, 1 week for submitting, and 1 week for jurying (I assumed at least someone would be interested). That's the reason behind it.

EDIT: I wouldn't have minded judging 30 scenarios, btw.

doktorhonig · Post by **doktorhonig** » 15 Jan 2007 17:01

Yeah, it would be bad if the 0.5.0 release would have to wait for the scenarios. Maybe it's also better, if the download-package stays small with only few scenarios.

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 15 Jan 2007 17:13

Well, another thing is the OTTD devs (or at least Darkvater) was looking for mainly smallish scenarios. And those don't take too long to make.

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 03 Feb 2007 09:06

Now, more than two weeks later, have the OTTD devs finally made up their decision about which scenarios will be included?

TBH, I'm kinda annoyed this contest was in a hurry as I was told OTTD 0.5.0 would have been released two weeks ago. Next time, such a scenario contest needs more time, if you want to have good scenarios.

Wolf01 · Post by **Wolf01** » 03 Feb 2007 12:41

i vote for including some countries scenarios, like the England or Italy scenarios which are well done

Ben_Robbins_ · Post by **Ben_Robbins_** » 03 Feb 2007 18:21

I made an England/Wales scenario a while ago, but it was rather dencly packed. I've got the same scenario around without any roads also.

Posted it here: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php? ... ht=#459607

I never got round to adding the Southern uplands of Scotland. Ideally I want to be able to transport things right up the the central lowlands where the real money is.

If anyone wishes to do anything to this and repost it in an improved form that would be cool.

Sorry for the long long time this has taken, en the wasted month! that could've been better spent on scenarios, but things just turned out a bit differently than we hoped.

0.5 is out soon, and the scenarios are here. Thank you all for making scenarios and a big cheers for Purno for jurying

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 28 Feb 2007 19:17

You're welcome. It was an honour to be asked. I'd love to do it next time too, but only with a little bit more time.

Pity my map didn't make it
