I experimented with passengers instead of cargo, and I couldn't seem to get their numbers up high enough. Busing them in is expensive and relatively slow, and I think for it to be viable, you'd need large cities real close to each other to be able to bus enough passengers to your mainline.
I don't think it needs to be grain and cattle. I believe the same thing could be done with oil since it also produces goods when refined. It's just difficult to spot oil and they don't seem to spawn as close together as the farms, however, it would aid with micro since you wouldn't need to change the train at all.
I think it would be interesting to expand the default no ff category to the other maps.
I'm not seeing different categories for the other maps, and it says nothing in the rules other than to play on default settings.
Maybe the rules could be updated or categories added?
On that topic, I don't understand why NewGRF no FF is a category since it's literally just the load time for the game, but that's unrelated.
Do we have to play on the first out of the four maps, or are we free to choose any of them as long as the actual settings are default?
