I haven't played this in ages but one thing I always liked a lot about TTD were the default graphics. Something about those little British houses gave it a very Postman Pat type of atmosphere. I also know all about the geography of Wales and Cornwall because I played the West Country 90210 map a lot. I never cared much about creating a very efficient transport system and I wouldn't know how to make one of these giant hub stations with signals and whatnot but I liked to imagine I was improving the lives of people in some region.

I've been trying to get back into this game but I usually feel a bit unsatisfied with the kind of map it generates. I've been trying out a few heightmaps of the Netherlands but they look a bit sparse and unrealistic, is there a good map someone can recommend or a good scenario with NewGRF where the map maker tried to include a lot of detail? Or is there maybe a better map generating algorithm that will include things like large islands or continents instead of just a jumble of water and land like the default ones?
