/File/en/Community/Scenarios/Scn-WaterAndMountainsV10-Screenshot.png
The map is very hilly and has relatively few (and also small) towns and industries. I'll add some comments on recommend newgrfs soon. Important Note: This scenario is only playable with nightly build version r8148 or newer, which can be downloaded here or with any 0.6.x version. The map cannot be played with any 0.5.x release of OpenTTD.

Snowy Highlands v0.5
/File/en/Community/Scenarios/Scn-snowy highlands-minimap.png
/File/en/Community/Scenarios/Scn-SnowyHighlandsV05-Screenshot.png
The map has rough snowy mountains and deep valleys. So it should be a bit more challenging to build the infrastructure ;-) There are about 200 towns on the map, which is not that much compared to the map size. All towns are relativly small and towns above the snowline needs monthly food-service to grow. Towns and industries are not too close together. So at least in the early years some pre-planning is necessary to start an successful transport empire.

Land of Floods v0.5
/File/en/Community/Scenarios/Scn-LandOfFloods-Minimap.png
/File/en/Community/Scenarios/Scn-LandOfFloods-Screenshot.png
This can be a fun map and can also pretty much suck with the "wrong" players. The whole map is at sea-level and the only thing holding the water out are the dams. If you accidentally brake the dam you better quickly seal it back or the whole section will flood.

Chatham Islands v0.5
/File/en/Community/Scenarios/Scn-ChathamIslands-Minimap.png
/File/en/Community/Scenarios/Scn-ChathamIslands-Screenshot.png
This is a map of New Zealands Chatham Islands. Only the terrain is real as I checked the island and there is only one small town on it and no visible industries. The best part and most profiting is a small island to the south of the large island where there are a lot of diamond and copper ore mines with high production rates but there are no industries there that would accept those materials and the island is a fair way away from the big one so you'll have to earn quite some money before you can tap the resources there, ships may or may not be a good choice, use your imagination ;)

Another TTD map from the late 90s that is playable with any version of OpenTTD and TTDPatch and TTD itself, of course. The map has lots of little and medium sized lakes which might make it interesting for ship transport if you build some canals and locks. Most of the landscape is flat with a few hills. Only in the south eastern part of the map is high mountain range.

The scenario is based on a heightmap of Cuba from SRTM data. All the rivers are hand-placed with the help of maps. Cuba is a communist country, where no private transport companies exist. Given the chance,what kind of network would you build on this tropical island?
  • All cities and towns have their original spanish names. Their size is 1/500th of the original.
  • The industries are placed in the balance of real-life economies and game-play.
  • While the scenario is Sub-Tropical, there aren't any deserts; Cuba is a tropical island filled with jungles.

Kritschgau v. 1.0

Kritschgau - a metropolitan mass transit scenario. City of 310 000, made up of numerous districts interconnected with highways. I've always wanted to fiddle with a scenario where there would be no intercity trains, only local commuter trains and RV's (incl. trams). That's why I created this one.

The scenario utilizes some NewGRFs. Compatible versions of these GRFs are included in the scenario package. Additional RVs, trams and such are not included - please use your preferred set when playing.
