Overview:

Transport Fever is a railroad-focused tycoon game. Players start in 1850 and build up a thriving transport company. As an emerging transport tycoon, the player constructs stations, airports, harbors and makes money by connecting areas requiring transport services.

Construct complex road-rail-water-air networks in the endless game and experience more than 150 year of transportation history. Fulfill the people’s needs and watch cities evolve dynamically. Supply industries with freight, develop complete cargo chains and enable economic growth. Build up a transport empire!

Master challenges and get entertained in the campaign game mode. Two campaigns each consisting of ten missions with increasing difficulty can be tackled. Missions of the American and the European campaign tell the historical context of the 19th and 20th century and offer a wide range of real-world transportation challenges.

Some Transporty Tycoon goodness by the looks of it.

Sadly, having watched IT Crowd from start to finish recently, the guy in the last video reminded me of the guy from IT crowd call center scene, so I just kept loling to myself throughout :)

 
Running through the tutorial, have to say it runs really nicely. Not even stressing my old machine with 780ti on max detail.

It is basically a 2016 Transport Tycoon and it plays well so far, I can see a lot of hours being sunk into this...

Am very much looking forward to giving this a play over the weekend.

Hopefully an ideal go to game for the winter months.
 
Playing now, not heavy on the GPU at all, but CPU single core is taking a hammering :o Fingers crossed late game is smoother however. Thus far however aside from a few expected crashs which I expect to get patched, much nicer to play with and a lot of needed refinements. Laying tracks over roads and rivers, much much easier.


Are there other AI to compete against like Transport Tycoon?

Nope
 
I've been playing the campaign for 4 hours so far and other than been a dumb ass for placing passenger station instead of a freight station everything is running fine. Seems good so far.
 
Damn... I thought this wasn't released until Thursday, I'm pretty sure that's what it displayed in Steam.

Oh well, I'll give it a go tomorrow.
 
Shame about the lack of competition from an AI, that's what killed it for me for similar games like cities skyline. Once you've done a full playthrough and unlocked it all the game gets pretty stale very quickly. Shame because it looks pretty nice.
 
Will have to look into this, lost my most recent save at 800+ trains, started again on openTTD and up to 200 but I'd like a new challenge.

Nailed it. I love that episode.
 
Haven't got to grips with the signalling system for trains yet, mine seem to always want to use the shortest or same route. Which leads them to a standoff and neither one moves.
