With tracks and stations come the need for trains, and the game offers 30 selections that include the 0-4-0 Planet and the 4-6-6-4 Challenger. Lay tracks to connect cities in the most efficient manner possible, and set stations down in areas that will get the most use. You begin by selecting one of ten maps in places like England, Germany, and the United States, and then customizing a scenario. Make tracks and deliver the goods to become a powerful adversary and businessperson in a reincarnation of the classic game, Sid Meier's Railroads! Much like the original, this edition of Sid Meier's Railroads! features the challenge of creating a railroad empire by making something out of nothing during a time period that begins in the early days of steam engines and runs to the modern trains of the 1970s.On the plus side, it is fun to watch the trains go in and out of the stations. There is also essentially no variety to the scenarios. You also can't zoom out very far on the map, so seeing what's in the area is a bit of a challenge. There are barely any supply limits, as the goods get replenished so quickly.īuilding enough switches in the right spots is actually a challenge, because the cartoon style of graphics doesn't give you a lot of space between towns. You don't have to worry about flooding markets, or trying to spread out your deliveries to multiple destinations. Those can be shipped to any town that takes the processed goods. and just grab from a single souce per train, don't try anything complex where a train will bring two or three different raw goods into town. The economic part that so appealed to me in the real RR Tycoon games is simplified to the point of, well, being cartoon style. The primary challenge is putting switches in your tracks in the right place so that other trains don't get stuck behind each other. Sadly, they imagined the Tycoon part out of it. This is billed as a re-imagining of the Tycoon genre. All other marks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Feral and the Feral logo are trademarks of Feral Interactive Ltd.
