Yaho,
...Well, that Wasteland game didn't work out the way I wanted it to, so I just shut it down.
So instead, we shall play an actual game, and see what we can do.
Gonna start the game at around midday today (09/11/2015).
General Rules:
- Anybody can drop in and out at any time, and yer company will run itself while ya away.
- Don't forget that industries can close down, so check yer stuff if ya been away for a while.
- Game will start in 1950 and run until at least 2500 (it takes roughly 1 day for 100 years to pass).
- Vehicles like Trains and Cars are North-American themed, hence the game name...
- Some new station tiles have been added so ya can customize the look of yer stations.
- Some new objects have been added so ya can customize some stuff.
- Maximum Company limit is 15 (set by the game, there can never be more than that).
- Spectator Limit is like 30.
- Disasters and Breakdowns are turned off.
- Inflation is turned off.
-
- Land buying is allowed, but only buy the land ya actually will be using, like when ya doing a station expansion.
- Ya can only buy 25% worth of shares of a company
(because anybody can join at any time, it would give advantage to the players who join early),
though ya can buy 25% in every company, just not more than that.
- No intentional blocking of others business like putting Railtracks or Objects all over the place just to block building (like Elliots seagulls).
- more stuff???.
- Maximum station spread is 16 tiles (so no stations larger than 16 x 16, that's including fancy station type objects).
- Maximum Train length is 64 Tiles.
- Maximum Bridge length is 128 Tiles.
- Maximum Bridge height is 48 Tiles.
- Maximum Tunnel length is 196 Tiles.
- Vehicle Limits per player are: 600 Trains, 500 Road Vehicles, 200 Airplanes, 200 Ships.
- While game is paused, ya can do everything that is not construction (so ya can still give orders and stuff).
- Sending money to other companies is turned off (so keep an eye on it, since I can't send ya money, and it's also to prevent some cheating).
- Landscaping and Building over Farmland is now twice as expensive.
- Train costs and running costs have been reduced by half.
- Airport Maintenance has been reduced by half.
- Building new industry costs now half as much.
- Goals have been activated for yer company. Failing to achieve a goal does not involve penalties, though ya will get
some monies (I think) if ya manage to achieve what ya supposed to be doing. It's only bring stuff from here to there, so easy enough.
Maybe I forgot something, but oh well, can't have it all.
I guess that's all for now, hope to see ya there. And try to have fun while ya play (with us).
Also, depending on my net, there could be some cut outs here and there, so just keep trying to get back in.
And change yer config file so it has more time to download and process the data, otherwise ya will never be able to join.
It's found in "My documents/OpenTTD/" openttd.cfg Go down to network and jack up the values to about 10000 each or so for
"max_init_time", "max_join_time" and "max_download_time" and save after doing so. And do it before ya run the game.
