i didnt know this was a Sid Meiers game

i hope its not going to be turn based.

dave2k2005 · 26 Oct 2006 at 20:11

Its not, I am completely baffled as to what to do. It tells me build a double track, I do, then nothing happens :confused:

locutus12 · 26 Oct 2006 at 20:15

dave2k2005 · 26 Oct 2006 at 21:06

I pre-ordered 2 weeks ago when the first thread on it was posted here, but it still hasn't been dispatched :mad:

Windle · 26 Oct 2006 at 23:22

Went for Amazon (Don't think there a competitor? :confused:

) as they had it for £17.99

Demo's good, glad i've already bought this

Although what with BF2142, this and Anno 1701 next week i don't know how i'm going to play them all

Anyone got a link as tried looking on the website but it bought up all the old railroads..

Biohazard · 27 Oct 2006 at 11:03

Its ok.

Only thing I'dd say is the trains are controlled better in transport tycoon.. in this two trains can pull up to the same depot on the same line at the same time..

other than that its good. No music on the demo though?

Anyone know how large the maps are in the retail?

Dj_Jestar · 27 Oct 2006 at 11:26

Screenshots people, screenshots dammit!

It uses the Civ IV engine but the gameplay is still Railroad Tycoon.

You can clearly see it uses the Civ 4 engine, however I find the landscape a bit bare in this tbh
