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.

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!

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.

Ususally only one company makes it through the game, that would be
me!!!

bank

My favourite map is the one from the Zeeland scenario.
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......

They are enormous
With the much smaler maps it just looks more realistic to me.
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.

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.
