Pro Zone Game 17

Game Date:	3.5.11-13.5.11
Usual supects:	V453000, Chris Booth, mfb, Vinnie
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL2
Mapsize:	128 x 512 Temperate
Version used:	r22375
NewGRF Set:	#openttdcoop-GRF Pack7.3
Remarks:	In this rather quick game we decided to build a network on a tiny map with TL2 monorail. The network design was extremely simple - just a line following the map basically. The interesting thing came with goods - we split raw trains with orders to deliver same amounts to both ends of map. That way, our goods trains could have used full load orders at both goods pickups which ended working quite well. After adding 6th line to our backbone, we were able to accomodate 900 (3x sparta) trains on this tiny map, which is quite impressive.

Pro Zone Game 16

Game Date:	28.2.11-3.5.11
Usual supects:	V453000, mfb, intexon, Vinnie, Razaekel, Chris Booth
Gametype:	PAX
Trainlength:	TL5
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Temperate
Version used:	r22375
NewGRF Set:	#openttdcoop-GRF Pack7.3
Remarks:	This was an attempt to make a cargo-styled passenger network which would perform better than cargo-only. Unfortunately the game did not get into advanced stages so it was "just" a nice game and the concept remains to be furtherly tested to prove its qualities. The original aim was to exchange industries for towns, thus being able to control the productions and possibly make them fluctuate less than with industries.

Pro Zone Game 15

Game Date:	10.11.2010 - 28.2.11
Usual supects:	XeryusTC, uliko, theholyduck, V453000
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL4
Mapsize:	265 x 1024 Temperate
Version used:	r22148
NewGRF Set:	#openttdcoop-GRF Pack7.3
Remarks:	With this game, chaos gametype was moved to the PZ and banned from the PS. ProZone game 15 is an example that chaos does fit here, when the messy PublicServer elements are cut off. Typically for chaos, this game started from a little ML and grew into a massive monster with multiple main lines added, accomodating about 1300 trains.

This once was tiny peaceful L_R. The current state is probably best decribed with "Entry/XeryusTC"

Pro Zone Game 14

Game Date:	7.8.2010 - 10.11.2010
Usual supects:	V453000, XeryusTC, avdg
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL3
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Temperate
Version used:	r21089
NewGRF Set:	#openttdcoop-GRF Pack7.3
Remarks:	This game was all about building a massive network with high terraform and doing crazy stuff. Some of this happened but not all as the network only needed extra capacity in one place due to the empty and full trains being split from each other. It still made for an interesting game

One of the four big stations in the game. This one featured two LLL_RRR balanced terminus stations in a unique form.)

Pro Zone Game 13

Game Date:	22.7.2010 - 7.8.2010
Usual supects:	V453000, Vitus, ^Spike^, Razaekel, Combuster, Chris Booth
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL5
Mapsize:	1024 x 256 Tropic
Version used:	r20279
NewGRF Set:	#openttdcoop-GRF Pack7.3
Remarks:	The whole idea of this game was testing the concept of timed SML. After we made the mechanisms operational and everything worked, we quickly realized that we will also be able to reach super high goods production. After the game was too heavy to play online, V453000 loaded it in the SP to fix a few last issues. The game finished with a total goods output of 200 169 crates per month. Further review at http://blog.openttdcoop.org/2010/08/02/prozone-game-13-timed-aka-insane-sml/ Update: due to some changes in OpenTTD this game will not work with new nightlies. Recommended to use the r20279 with which the game was played.

Pro Zone Game 12

Game Date:	19.02.2010 - 10.05.2010
Usual supects:	Chris Booth, Razaekel, V453000, ^Spike^, OwenS, XeryusTC
Gametype:	PAX
Trainlength:	TL3
Mapsize:	256 x 1024 Temperate
Version used:	r19734
NewGRF Set:	#openttdcoop-GRF Pack7.3
Remarks:	This Pro Zone game is was a attempt to develop a Japanese style passenger network across several islands. We quite soon hit some problems with the amount of CPU power that the Japanese city set was using. this meant that we had to change the city set to total towns. we also changed the train set at this time to the DBXL set. we finnaly managed to grow the cities on each island so the map was almost completely covered by cities.With many interesting metro networks emerging.
