Sadly, they dumbed it down a lot - as someone who loved 3, Sid Meier's Railroads was a disappointment in that they handicapped the economics an d make route laying a lot "simpler", and not in a good way. I would kill for an updated version of RT 3.
- Erwin 12y agoI was in Hamburg earlier this year, visiting among other things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniatur_Wunderland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniatur_Wunderland and I thought to myself, wouldn't it fun to play with those train routes again? I bought the "Railroads!" again on Steam, and had a lot of fun for 20-30 hours. Then I read the Railroads! wiki page and found out Sid Meier wrote it exactly because he visited the same Wunderland 7 years before. Like me, he just wanted a fun train game, not a ruthless economic simulation and i think Railroads! has filled that niche well. (It's not quite trains, but if you want a resource management game where you have to be careful, try the city builder Banished, built by a single developer)
- padobson 12y agoRT2 is actually my favorite of the group, I just mentioned Railroads! because I wanted to stay on topic.

- vacri 12y agoApparently their argument was "It's about the trains!", turning it into a 'model railroad simulator', which I found odd given that the most vocal fans of the series weren't train nerds, but 'resource strategy' fans.
- Tiktaalik 12y agoI've never played A Train, a train sim by the Japanese developer Artdink, but it has its fans. I think it's more about the economics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-Train http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-Train
