The one way to and from the Prince Jeremy islands must remain the Prince Jeremy bridge.

Sounds like a very interesting challenge. Very ecological and pretty different from the non score-based ones. It's the new Challenge of the Day at the official blog. Good luck for all participants.

Thanks

Interesting. I'll try it if I have some time ;)

I'll maybe have a look if other people will too

I'm giving it a try now ... having a great time !
Thanks for the challenge.

I find it entirely appropriate that you can get 87 points maximum!  ;D

Wait, you can. Awesome!!!!! That actually wasn't planned.

PS: If anyone has any status reports then please post them or PM me. I would like to see how things are going and some feedback if possible.

PPS: I'm thinking of making a new challenge ever month or two. So the deadline will be at the moment April 30th. The next contest however will start on May 1st.

QuoteThe only way in and out of National parks must be through the gap in the fence.

Does this means that it is not allowed to build ports in the natural parks ?
It would seem the logical way to connect Bath and Newcastle ....

So far no problems, my game is in year 2012, generating good profits and I am busy expanding the network. Still a long way to go to connect all the cities.

Oh, sorry if there was some confusion about that. Yes, you can build ports in national parks except for prince jeremy islands.

I forgot to mention that as it has the Challenge of the Day status, the winner(s) will be included in the Simutrans Hall of Fame. Another extra reason to participate and try to win... ;D

P.S: @Fuzzy Peach, I've edited the score board, to make it more clear.

Thanks. When i looked at the post i first thought that someone had hacked my account... until i scrolled down. Lol

I'm sorry. I guess I should have send you a PM first.. :-[

P.S: Anyway, It was a white hat hack.. :P

It's okay. A PS: in a normal post is good enough.

Run a bus line connecting Leeds, Wolverhampton and Westminster via the route 87 highway.

It should all in a single line? The same bus should stop in these three cities? Or can it be done with different buses... Fo exemple one bus does Leeds - Wolverhampton and another Leeds - Westminster.

Come on people! 5 days left until the deadline!

Challenge ends tomorrow. Please submit your save files to me so i can evaluate them.

Hello, here's my save file.  It's been fun working on this.

Thanks for the save Fishstick. You're the current leader with only one objective not completed. And people, by this time tomorrow the contest will be closed. Please post your saves!

Sorry, real life had me by the toes, ankles, and wrists.  I know it's after May 1st, but I'll be downloading it tomorrow and giving it a shot shortly afterward.  I saw that leader board wasn't updated yet, and thought you might appreciate the little extra interest in the contest, Fuzzy Peach.

I gave the challenge a go. I think I completed all the aims but I went bankrupt for quite a while before going back to being on loan. Is this cheating?!

Yes it is. You have to stay in business for the whole time.

Yes that's too easy if you have unlimited cash ...
