TaI Town Information

TaI towns use a zoning system and town "personalities" to add more depth to the town system in OTTD.

Town Types

Important Note! Town types are achieved through building limitations as the game unfolds. The "city" types will not necessarily be larger than the "town" types at the start of the game, and if you use the OTTD city feature to make some towns larger at the beginning of the game, there is no guarantee that OTTD's cities and TaI's cities will coincide.

The town type can be determined by using the query tool on the city/town hall.
