RT3 did the series one better IMHO, since its economic model was more comprehensive and calculated the costs of everything based on alternative transport methods - building a line through the mountains could reap big rewards, and buying up the businesses you were going to expand towards even more so.
- robbiep 10y agoI found RT3 a bit of a miss... there was too much 'blank space' and I thought 2 really outdid it in terms of the economic model
- Declanomous 10y agoI've never played RT2, but my understanding was that RT3 was rather difficult because they added the ability for goods to move independent of the railroad. So a lot of goods that you would have been able to make money on in the past moved down rivers, and away from rail lines, rather than sitting around waiting to be collected. That being said, I had a lot of fun playing RT3.
- nikdaheratik 10y agoI liked both of them. The 3D modelling was so much better in RT3 and alot of the economics was more "real-world". I do feel like RT2 had more of the history and charm however than RT3. Also a bit less pressure compared to some of the later maps in RT3 which were more scenario based and less open ended.
