Another limitation is that trains do not keep to the right on a stretch of double track, meaning unrealistic blocking of the track by one's own trains is common if more than one train is allowed on a stretch of track. However, players are limited to laying track in a contiguous system, which in turn reduces the impact of there being no network effects in the economics of the game. When combined with the more 'compressed' terrain, it allows for tactical placement of track to obstruct and frustrate opponents. Tracklaying is automated and much easier than other editions of Railroad Tycoon. However, the game does not have the dynamic pricing of goods across the entire map or cargo that can find alternate means of transportation if no train service is provided that were features of Railroad Tycoon III, and other simplifications compared to previous Railroad Tycoon games are that there is no separation of individual money from company money, nor the ability to raise money on an in-game bond market. Similarly, individual industries are also put up for auction amongst players. This gives the player a ten-year exclusive use of that technology. Gameplay changes from previous editions of Railroad Tycoon include a system where new technology is first auctioned to the highest bidder. The game is heavily focused on economics – players have to build and sustain entire industries using the railroads they develop. The terrain is more compressed in this game there are few areas where players are allowed a long, straight run of track without earthworks or a bridge, meaning that terrain (such as hills, mountains, rivers and inlets) plays a more important role, at least in the early stages of a game. You can find plenty of complaints and explanations about the zoom in railroads.Railroads! is fully three-dimensional and geared more toward head-to-head real-time strategy than the previous versions, resulting in it being less suited to single player play, and a less realistic simulation of railway operation.

(why else would you play sandbox, but then why would you EVER play sandbox.) About the only thing I can say the RT3 does better in sandbox would be free zoom. Railroads is MUCH prettier and has alot of neat animations to watch - if that is your bag.Īs for which has a better sandbox, I would probably say Railroads, since it has better eyecandy. Personally I like RT3 better, but I have been having alot of fun playing Railroads!.

Finally I haven't noticed and maintenance cost difference for trains waiting fo a load and trains pulling a load - making wait for full kind of useless unless you are on a long haul from which other trains are taking the same good. Laying track on flat land is really pretty cheap, moving dirt for cuts is pretty expensive. (the trains maintenance drives cost) 2) laying track is expensive, while leveling land is cheap. 1) track don't seem to cost much at all to maintain. Which brings me to two of my other complaints. I have found out that its generally better to just make each train have its own independent track. On medium its not great, but then since trains will pass through each other after a while, Railroads will prevent the gridlock very common in the hard setting. The train routing (if you use hard) is pretty lackluster to crappy. Very little supply demand - prices don't change all that much if at all for how much you take there. Railroads! - It is a simple take this cargo to there, and it will make a cargo to take to another place. Railroads! lends itself well to short multiplayer games. Railroads is more like RRT2 or the 1880s boardgames.

RRT3 is more like a railroad/economy simulator (not train sim). Like many other have said, RRT3 and Railroads! are VERY different.
