 * other terrain options are completely up to your liking. Mountanous and smooth will not result in a very hilly countryside, though. Rather make the map not too smooth, if you want some contrast.
 * Our usual starting date is 1st January 1950. But this may be varied, e.g. if with the 2cc and egrvts grfs vehicles become available way before this date.

 If you have finished building a scenario, you can upload it to the ready-to-start maps collection page with a suitable description (an example entry exists). You can ask a member at the #openttdcoop channel on irc to review your map and if it is ok, chances are good that we add it to the server for inclusion in the next game. You can also ask us for some feedback on irc when you are unsure about some of the above points!

−	Creating a map may seem like both easy or difficult, depending upon how you look at it. If done with a bit of care, it's not difficult to create a map which can be played on a multiplayer server without trouble and without requiring further changes. The key to this is to prepare afitting list of '''newgrfs''' and to choose the right '''advanced settings''' '''''BEFORE''''' you actually start to '''create the map'''. The latter can then be done by a simple "random map" and ~~you're done~~.	+	Creating a map may seem like both easy or difficult, depending upon how you look at it.
