About Sid Meier's Railroads!
Sid Meier's Railroads! is a railroad strategy and simulation game developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K Games, released in October 2006. It marks the return of the landmark title that launched the popular tycoon genre and brings it home to its original creator, the legendary Sid Meier. Together with his team at Firaxis Games, the studio behind Civilization IV, he puts you in charge of building the greatest rail empire in the nation.
Your job is to manage trains, cargo and your bottom line. You lay track between growing towns, decide which goods each line should carry and keep an eye on supply and demand so that every train earns its keep. Passengers, mail and raw materials all need to move, and the industries you connect turn into the backbone of a thriving network. The streamlined interface makes it easy to learn, while the economy beneath it stays challenging to master.
Success is never yours alone, because you are engaged in all-out corporate warfare against rival tycoons, slick entrepreneurs and robber barons. They compete for the same towns, the same industries and the same profitable routes, so every new line is a strategic move. Buying shares, racing to key cities and expanding faster than your competitors are all part of the struggle to dominate the map. All of this takes place in a vibrant 3D world with rolling landscapes, rivers, bridges and lovingly detailed locomotives.
Sid Meier's Railroads! runs on Windows and is available in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. It is a great choice for fans of economic strategy, players who enjoy building transport networks and anyone who loves classic steam locomotives and the golden age of rail. Lay the first rails, connect the cities and turn a small line into a legendary railroad empire.
