I dont really got a favo map, maybe cause I dont make my own. And if I do they suck. I go for the random map, and pick my settings on in the difficultysetting.on temparete and the latin one. And if i dont like the map I get I keep starting untill i find a better one

I always use custom, so I make it at my skill level so it is a challenge, and not to easy. I rarely go bankrupt. :P

I always play at the hard level on a random map, using TTDPatch minimally (well, perhaps only to renew carriages periodically and to bring the money down when it reaches its upper limit ;), and I always succeed! :mrgreen:

I usually play randomly generated games with both industries and towns on "low" - I find if you have too many towns close together the track layouts just get so complicated.

I like a few of the built in scenarios - Linkgame Islands and High&Low are couple good ones.

I use a random map, then change it a bit in the editor
Sometimes coalmines are too close to the power station
growing the towns a bit, filling up a few holes, adding some industries
Just until it suits me

I also play mostly on random maps, it is far more interesting imo. MY favorite is to play random temprate custom at highest possibe difficulty ^^ yeah
OTOH - I don't belive if any of my companies ever gone bankrupt. But memory may fail me you know ^^.

My competitiors always go bankrupt, and I don't even do anything to make them go bankrupt. :? They just loan out money and the interest makes them go bankrupt. :lol: Ususally only one company makes it through the game, that would be me!!! :mrgreen:

My favourite map is the one from the Zeeland scenario. 8)
I don't know but it feels like a more realistic map. I mean if you play on a map of the USA for instance. If you compare the size of your trainstations to the rest of the USA...... :shock: :shock: They are enormous :shock: :shock:

With the much smaler maps it just looks more realistic to me.:mrgreen:

O, here's the map of zeeland :

I never make own maps, I always feel that I make it myself hard or to easy.

I don't really have a fav map. I use random. I have it on hard but with brake downs off. Damn annoying that. :wink:

I always create my own maps. Often on hilly but sometimes on mountaineous (and always in temperate). That way I can ensure I have the maximum amount of cities, otherwise I am finished with the game too soon.

:( Try to set minimal loan .. game is then a bit difficult at start .... with max loan start is not as fun ..

Whoa, I have never used that, especailly when starting in 1950 with slow trains, it is very hard. I usually use hilly, and medium lakes.
