EastCoastFrom, Amazing game!SteamPower1830 is a great game by itself, but I'd like to see a more explanatory tutorial on how to strategize to win a game, and I'd like to see more content like upgradable trains or a dual train track on 1 hexagon or trains that are unlocked as time progresses, to put a few ideas out there. Now I'm not one of those people that asks straight up for these ideas, I know making a game that is on Mobile AND Computer can't be easy, and I don't even know if the Dev team is big or just 4 guys in a garage so I don't expect big changes. But at least the game is updated every time there's a new iOS released. One more thing. The game could be made a little easier.

Like for example, food is worth almost no monetary value later in a game, same for wood, but not as much. As I said, the game is fine by itself. I appreciate the amazing game that sticks out of all the other tycoon games on the App Store and even on pc too, I think.I wish the dev team the best of luck on this game and future projects.Overall Rating - 9/10 - 5 stars. IAPyrodoc67, Great game but late is a bit too hard. Also some suggestions.This is a great game but the late game stages are too hard and should be made easier. The game stops becoming fun in late game because you are forced to work at an extremely fast pace and race the clock to the point that the game becomes less about actually playing the game and more about rushing the clock and usually failing. HOWEVER, if you like that kind of play style during the end of a game then you will love the game throughout the entire time you play it.

If we could get free premium currency, say 1 gold every 1 or 2 days that we login, that would be very helpful. Also the wheels on the train engines do not rotate or move, so please make them animated. Also if valleys were added to the game with bridges being required to build over them and oil being a cargo available in 1920 would be great. This is one of the best transport games on the iPad. One last thing.

Tunnels through mountain ranges please? ColtonSuperGame, Pretty Good GameThis game is a pretty good game to play and makes for a fun experience. However there a few things that I feel restrict the game from five stars. The game is a hexagon based game, which—while making controls easier—causes there to be very limited building and creativity in a round.

But in between those two activities, I would get dragged by my uncle for the oldest type of male bonding ritual - fishing. Sega marine fishing pc.

Jan 19, 2013  For Railroad Tycoon 3 on the PC, GameFAQs presents a message board for game discussion and help.

There is some limitations for the game from the micro transactions. Sure these games allow the game to be ad free, but the micro transactions block about a 3rd (on average) of the things you can get in a game.However the goods outweigh the bad on this game as, while there may be some hindering, the way the game is played and how all of the money and monopolies work make it an absolutely great game to play.

Contents GameplayThe objective of Railroad Tycoon is to build and manage a railroad company by laying track, building stations, and buying and scheduling trains. The player acts a railway entrepreneur may start companies in any of four geographic locales: the Western United States, Northeast United States, Great Britain, or Continental Europe. The company starts with one million dollars in capital; half equity, half a loan. The company may raise additional capital through the sale of bonds. The player then builds stations and track between two cities, where a train can be sent between the two. There are many different types of cargoes that are supplied and demanded, and the player earns money by taking these cargo to different places through the management of trains. The game usually starts in the early 1800's where only steam locos are available that are slow and unreliable.

Eventually as the game goes on, a larger variety of locomotives are offered, including diesel and electric trains that move efficiently across the network.Regional Display DisplaysArea DisplayThe original game has four main views in which the player can choose to view the game through. The most comprehensive view is the Regional View, where you can view your network from afar.

This display gives you the complete picture of the world. It shows the basic geography, including the location of mountains and rivers, and also indicates centers of population. If railroads have started operating, they are visible as well.Local DisplayThe Area Display is the next zoom down from the Regional Display and is a schematic display of any built railroad.

It shows no geography, but only the track, signals, trains, stations, and Station Boxes (if not toggled off) of the player's Railroad.The Local Display is the second zoom down from the Regional Display and shows not only your railroad’s features, but also the local geography and industry. From this display you can plan the expansion of your railroad into nearby areas with good population centers or industrial sites, while keeping the location of mountain and river obstacles in view.Detailed DisplayThe Detailed Display is the closest zoom possible, and is the display at which all railroad construction is done. This display shows in greatest detail the geography, population centers, and industrial sites on the map. From this display only, the player may survey the local geography and plan in detail the laying of track.Laying TrackIn Railroad Tycoon, laying track is the only way to transport goods across to different destinations, and this is mostly done in the detailed view. A grid system is employed in RRT, the track can be built in 8 directions, and each track piece when built fits on one tile. 45 degree curves are allowed in RRT, as well as 90 degree turns, although they are not recommended as they significantly slow your trains down.

It is also possible to have a track split off an existing track piece at a 45 degree angle (not a 90 degree angle), but the original track must be a straight section. Track may also be turned into double track (extra line), to allow for double the amount of trains to travel at once.

However, it is expensive and is only recommended for busiest parts of the network.Double Track is used selectively hereWhen building track, players are encourage to think about the amount of curves and grades that the track has, as it will slow the trains down and cause traffic jams. Even the smallest grades will slow down the trains when they go uphill, so it is important to find a way around large grades. It is possible to build tunnels in Railroad Tycoon, which despite expensive, allows tracks to cross mountains while providing a flat gradient.

It is possible for trains to cross tidal estuaries, the ocean or large lakes with the help of ferryboats. A ferry route may include curves but may not be double tracked. Trains also move very slowly on Ferry Routes.River bridges can also be built in Railroad Tycoon, but only in a straight line over one river square. The bridge is built from the starting square to the first land square on the river’s other side. Bridges allow trains to go across rivers, but they are prone to flooding, and a train stuck on a bridge during a flood is destroyed.

There are 3 different types of bridges, each with their advantages and weaknesses. Wooden Trestle Bridge ($50,000) cheap, prone to flooding, only single track, trains move 50% slower. Steel Girder Bridge ($200,000) medium price, flood resistant, must wait till technology is available. Stone Masonry Bridge ($400,000) expensive, can't be flooded, available from startBuilding StationsIn Railroad Tycoon stations are the only places that trains can stop to pick up and deliver cargoes. Building track into industrial sites or cities has no effect on creating supply and demand for cargoes.

The transfer facilities that automatically come with a station must be present for pickups and deliveries to take place. There are three types of stations: Depots ($50,000), Stations ($100,000), and Terminals ($200,000). They are differentiated by their cost, economic radius, and map icon.

All industrial and population sites within the radius of a station send (supply) and receive (demand) business through the station. By adding together the supply and demand for cargoes from the industry and population within range, the supply and demand for the station is determined. For example, assume each coal mine creates an average supply of two carloads of coal per year. A station with three coal mines within its economic radius then generates a supply of about six carloads of coal per year.In Railroad Tycoon, stations can also have facilities that could help improve the efficiency of the station.
