That is why AIAI try only once

Is this town so bad that more people are on the docks trying to leave than even exists in the whole town??

That's very common . The people at the stop probably have to wait so long that they multiply!

I lol'd for that.

This happened in a online game today. I thinking they are playing battleships.
JS.

That happened after message from Greenpeace about oil tankers.

Does NoCAB like small towns? This is the smallest town in this savegame...

Yes, it always build HQ in smallest town.

For AIs it is possible to check how much cargo was last month transported. So while your statement holds for when two AIs start at the same time, it doesn't generally hold. Some randomization is possible to do if you accept sub-optimal decisions at the cost of an harder to debug AI.

That said, the randomization that is done in my AIs is fairly minor but more is to come. Still, starting multiple AIs within a few days is not very good as they can't know what the others has planed to do. There is a lag of about a month before used industries/towns show up in the last month transported figures.

IIRC, it will build a HQ in a small town in order to build up the AI's rating in that town, and then it will eventually move to another town to do the same.

Never. It is game with disabled breakdowns

Possibly the biggest queue I've ever seen on an online game. Taken ages ago, but dug it out for this thread!

Wow. I am in awe of how horrible that looks.

I've seen larger but it was in a IS game

The queue is marked up with the blue line. The blue line marks vehicles that are stuck (non-moving) in the queue. Look for the text "head of queue" to see where it starts.

Its a mixture of CluelessPlus SVN (red) and NoCAB (green) road vehicles in there.
Here is an unedited screenshot where you actually can see the vehicles:
If I would have left it for a while it could possible have built up even longer.

Ha! That really is HUGE!

2 753 pounds? That's not very much

When playing the "Cuba"-Map I was really surprised:
