[OTTD] Northern Holland 512x512

[NitrousX]

This map, situated in Northern Holland late 1930's.
Since the Dutch trainset isn't out yet ive used the german set.

But the map is completely free of mods and made in OTTD 0.6.0. Beta1

Here some shots:

The map

Can't remove the total town replacement buildings from the map, so thats something you will need to live with.

Have fun

Hmmmm, loaded it and took a look...

First the things I liked:
- The amount of details in town placement, you have build every town in the map
- The industries have been build on good positions, the oil ridge north of Groningen I like the most
- The loads of Sign designated to the correct area

But as in every scenario there are some points that could be done better... I have summed them up, so you can make the map much better;

- Try to make the map less blocky, it looks like a real straight design, but I am sure the North of The Netherlands isn't
- Next to Emdem(D) in the real world is a river, now the dollard is just a lake with no streams going to
- The scenario is in 1930... As far as I can remember, the "Flevopolder" was build a little bit later (Just a small error)
- Maybe you could have used a heightmap for this scenario. If you like I can even provide it, so you can rebuild all this...
- The map is too flat, even The Netherlands has height levels, even on this scale
- Maybe you could pre-build the A28 (Hoogeveen - Groningen) and the A32 (Hoogeveen - Leeuwarden), makes bus-transport more worth-while
- I believe the only power station in the North of The Netherlands is located in Petten, maybe you could relocate it...

Just some ideas, you may use some to improve your scenario, so it looks better, or it gets more logical. I must say you have done a good job, but I am sure some improvements can be made!!

Good Luck,

Luukland

I really like the detail, it's great to see so many familiar town names on a map, but I do rather miss the waddeneilanden. I'd gladly miss some overijssel in favor of them.

But either way, thanks a lot for this map!
