TOPIC: how to get 9 poin in server 13a

how to get more than 6 in mini cb 4k game ? is there any suggestion ?
looking u make above 7 point in every game so much irritating ...

well, I'm not a CB expert but the major factor is the time taken since you start a company and goal is reached. The faster the better ^^

you can check here and here the best times in the 4K Temperate CB servers and here for the 4K Desert

3 days ago I played twice on server 13A (25).

In game #6086 I scored 9 points in 4 years; ~56 minutes of play.
In game #6088 I scored 6 points in 4 years; ~48 minutes of play.
I won both.

First game was finished with better transportation network, higher company value, more money, no loan. In general: game #6806 was much better/much "pleasant" than #6088. I do not know the formula of points calculation (it is a secret but - in my opinion - when you're reaching 7 points in every game then the time taken is not the major factor.

There is an older thread with some more details:

openttd.btpro.nl/forum/31-everything-cit...hat-are-cb-mechanics

I know I'm reviving a really old thread, but can someone please explain this:


Game 10761 took 1hr 5min and scored 7 points
Game 10761 took 59min and scored 9 points
Game 10758 took 29mins (wow!) but still only scored 7 points?!?!

Surely time isn't the main factor if you can half the time yet score less points.

I though it might be Company Value/Performance, and since it's early in the new year the 59min game is in the "Fastest 15" list, so I checked:

9 point, 59 min game was $3.5 mil. and 609 performance
7 point, 29 min game was $0.63 mil. and 358 performance

Which *might* explain things (Company Val/Perf. is more important than time), except:


This 50min game got 7 points and the Company was worth $5.5 mil and had 658 performance! Faster, richer and better performance yet scored less points... what gives?

I considered that it might be affected by number of other players in the game, but the 9-point game only had one other player in it and they only joined in 10mins before the end. This is on #13 if it matters.
