OpenTTD “Steam is King” Tournament

Another month means it’s time for another OpenTTD Tournament and this one is going to be interesting. Instead of limiting all of the players down to trucks and busses, we will be pushing them in a different direction. “Steam is King” is the name of the game and that means these optimistic planners will be only working with steam trains and will be thrown back in time to the year 1945.

Here were the rules of the match:
– Max Loan: $500k USD
– Duration (Game): 1945-1965
– City Layout: 3×3 (Town restricted from building roads)
– Duration (IRL): 4 hours and 30 mins to 5 hours
– Tournament Duration: 3 Weeks (May 19th – July 10th 2024)
– NewGRF: Raised Landscape Costs, First Name Towns

Whomever has the highest company value, at the end of the 20 years, will be the winner of the tournament. Best of luck to all players involved!
When the tournament wraps up, I’ll include a link to the summary video. Want to join the next tournament? Be sure to join our Discord server and meet some new friends along the way.
