Saber, I’d say it typical.
1. 2x2 roads, no dead ends, perfectly circled around the middle.
2. 3 bus/mail stations, vehicle.
3. Connection to city with highest passengers/mails, train 7.0 long usually 5.0/2.0 ppl/mails
4. Additional 2 bus/mail stations when they’re accepted in the area.
5. …So on and so forth…
6. When stations start to accept goods, I’m starting delivering. Even though the city growth doesn’t demand that.
Oh, almost forgot. The goods are transferred from factory which is super close to the city. Like, really close as well as the cities from which the ppl/mails are transported from.

Lets hookup someday and ill show you some stuff you might not have thought about which might help your case. Its hard to explain em in text and pictures.

Yeah, thanks Saber. I sent you a PM.

Meet-up with Wodzu for some practice.

I finally got around to try my idea, and it worked perfectly - after taking about 15 mins to build a town up to 475pop/28 houses, I reset myself and disconnected. Then I reconnected and claimed the same town, got it to 4,000 in 32mins even though I missed a few months of mail/goods.

So one aspect of getting <40min. games is not starting in 1975 - if you start in a town with houses in the high 20s you can save 10mins... either by cheating, like I did, or by entering a game late and hoping the other players are slow.
