Enhanced features

Coppers

The use of Coppers in Trackmania United is more important than ever before. They act as an in game currency to reward players as they progress through the game.

Players will start with 50 coppers which they can use to buy new videos, cars, tracks and even replays all within the game. Extra coppers can be earned by playing through the game in solo mode and competing online. Coppers can also buy entry into tournaments with the winner taking away the jackpot. Members of a group can also spread royalties from community projects splitting the coppers evenly.

ManiaZones

ManiaZones group players by geographical location. The master server groups players online by area and as their classification improves they will challenge others from around their country then by continent and eventually the world.

  • The system will also support groups of players who are friends or in the same clan.
  • Forums are also included and use the ManiaZones to group players.
  • A new news portal gives players information about current events.
