Mapsize:	256 x 512 Sub-Arctic

Public Server Game 287

Game Date:	26.9.2014-14.10.2014
Usual suspects:	Sylf, Jam35, Hazzard, bio, Maraxus, John, scshunt, Saladan0, Kernigh (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL3
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Sub-Arctic
Version used:	r26830#openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	This was a simple SRNW game with one twist. The map was divided into six sections, servicing different cargo. Overflow also worked as refit area. The game did not pickup much interest from the users. The game was abandoned after having about 1400 trains.

Public Server Game 286

Game Date:	15.9.2014-26.9.2014
Usual suspects:	Jam35, Sylf, Hazzard, V453000, bio, Maraxus, Djanxy, BallC, John, scshunt, o11c, Saladan0 (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL3 & TL6
Mapsize:	512 x 256 Sub-Arctic
Version used:	r26830#openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	We started with a map with 8 large islands. Using this landscape, we built two separate networks. One is on the land, running TL3 trains, connecting the islands with bridges. Second network was built with wet trains, built on the water, running TL6 boat trains. With a mountainous nature of this map, it became difficult to expand quickly, so we ended the game quickly too. We still ended the game with nearly 1100 running trains.

Combined view of BBH 01 and BBH03. After massive upgrades made by players, these hubs look quite impressive compared to their original constructions.

Public Server Game 285

Game Date:	30.8.2014-15.9.2014
Usual suspects:	Sylf, Jam35, Hazzard, bio, Maraxus, Djanxy, BallC, John, Chaz, scshunt, verm (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL4
Mapsize:	512 x 256 Sub-Tropic
Version used:	r26720#openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	This was a classic cargo game. Simple network plan with innocent starting point of LL_RR mainlines. What was not so innocent is the players' willingness to stretch the coop style playing. When we finished the game, almost all of the mainlines were upgraded to LLL_RRR, supporting about 1050 trains. This was a quite fun game.

A view of SLH08, one of the spots that were painfully upgraded to LLL_RRR.

Public Server Game 284

Game Date:	6.8.2014-30.8.2014
Usual suspects:	V453000, Jam35, Sylf, Hazzard, bio, Maraxus, Generalcamo, avdg, mfb, Vinnie, Sassafrass (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo (YETI)
Trainlength:	TL14
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Toyland
Version used:	r26720#openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	This game was played on toyland map, but that wasn't the point of this game. This was a YETI game, with refit, and with 14 tile long trains! Combine that with starting ML of LLL_RRR, we had some monster hubs from the start of the game. Those monster hubs made it difficult to upgrade the MLs, but there still were some nice stuff to look at on this map.

An excellent example of an invisible hub. A whole host of complex stuff is made invisible by these bridges.

Public Server Game 283

Game Date:	29.7.2014-6.8.2014
Usual suspects:	V453000, Jam35, Sylf, Hazzard, bio, nicfer, Maraxus, Syl59, Abacus, Generalcamo, LoPo, XeryusTC (extend)
Gametype:	Pax
Trainlength:	TL10
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Temperate
Version used:	r26720#openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	We started this game, wanting to test the NUTS monorail intercity trains that got new stats recently. Having only 4 main stations on the map, SBahns for all those files grew quite large. We have some nice looking towns on this map. In the end, we learned that the new monorail intercities are too powerful compared to the rest of the trains in the set.

A typical main station on this map.
