[OTTD] Edited UK scenario (Pre-Placed AI players)

Post by commieaccount21 »

Hey all,

Not sure what you guys think about taking other peoples scenarios and tinkering with them... probably not much. But when I downloaded this scenario I found it was bl**dy good! (the original is herecourtesy of JonScaife) and decided I wanted to play it like the old Scotland 1956 map, So i edited some more towns into wales and scotland to make those areas more accesable and then added some AI players.

The AI players mostly own key british railway routes around now (The London Underground, GNER's East Coast rail line and Virgin Trains North Wales line) as well as 2 other AI companies 1, National Express who has one (very) long distance coach route representing thier 341 link and another AI company, Stagecoach who currently do nothing so will start like the player. The Game starts in 1974 as it took me 10 damn years to build and test the East Coast line (It makes an absolute bomb though)!

Heres the File
The Uk, 1974

Note that the AI routes although as accurate as I can get them are a little rough in some places, mostly for gameplay reasons, for example London Undergrounds Euston station is nowhere near King's Coss.

Everyone likes.... SCREENSHOTS

If people like this scenario and JonScaife doesn't hate me I can upload it too the wikiopenttd if you want.

I wouldn't worry about that, it's tough in TTD to get geographically everything. Although, getting Canary Wharf on the right side of the river may help ;)
It's nice to see a scenario with established companies without the AI wrecking everything. I wonder if the AI will do as it does in the scotland scenario. Ie. Trash it completely and close all the profitable routes...

Well if the AI do start trashing all the good routes, for realism, we would need the scenario to start in the 1960's not the 1970's! :P

Great save game, very interesting...good to sit back, put on fast forward and see what the ai do. Interesting set out for the east coast mainline, partciularly the stations! Well done, some devoted building there!

I'm currently having a go with the uk map as well with the new passenger destinations where passengers can station walk between companies. I'm playing as different companies.

I've started as Intercity. i've got the Liverpool Street to Harwich International/Ipswich/Norwich going. Now working on the ECML and the Midlands mainline...and the links that will be needed for intercity to run the cross country services...will need all of the other mainlines put in before i can get the cross country going.

Will also have the National Bus Company and a company i've invented called Eurolink who will link the ports and airports with Europe and Ireland. Then with the companies i have left. I'll get the local services running. Should have enough companies left to run Anglia, Central, Network Southeast, South West and Wales and Northern and Scotland, (as you can see, some of my companies cover huge areas but there isn't enough companies to give each region its own!) I know its a little silly having one company running local routes in east anglia and then another covering local routes in the whole of northern england and scotland....but anglia is my original home region so there!

Ooo, yeah I'm mostly re-creating rail routes on it as well. I'd be interested in seeing your saved game sometime?

Once I've got uni' assesments out of the way I'll probably try to remake this map so that it starts earlier as well as changing some minor details (Like renaming Canary Wharf, Canada Water :P ) And changing National express probably (I don't like its starting position). It's annoying that the AI wont change what you've built them, on my current save London Underground is still using its original trains which are now 24 years out of date! :evil: plus giving the AI things seems to muck up thier company value to £1.

If anyone has any further ideas please post them!

I tried to download it but the link wouldnt work. I tried to do a simpler thing with Dublin, Ireland, but its far from perfect, just using my head.

Id love to see a real accurate scenario like this, i cant wait for the link to be fixed so i can play.

Here is a new scenario; its a bit of an experiment. Temperate, UKRS, TTRS, & other excellent grfs. The theory is that the players are all predefined, and you choose which one that you want to play as. They are all different, with different problems to solve. Once you select a company you should enable the AIs on the Config Panel.

One player is a straight clean-start, if you prefer to start from scratch, as usual. On the other hand, running & improving the main company, Chadham & District, can get you up to 900+, in about twenty years. The idea is that you have become the CEO of the C&D as a result of aquisitions & mergers: all you have to do is sort it out (g).

It starts in 1938, so that there's a reasonable choice of planes & ships, etc. One problem I haven't been able to get round is that sometimes road depots will disappear. I'd appreciate any feedback about how it plays, & if the selecting a player idea is a useful step forward.

Hey guys. I've tried populating Ireland and france with towns and industries.

I had easily established the towns from using the online map that google provides. Although the industries are harder to find because they're not really on any map that I've found so far.

Further more. I think that Google is much too new for the date that the scenario was set in.

But England, Scotland and Wales are looking really good.
