Own the entire chain. That's fricking rule no.1.

But you can't build factories in RRT 2. Yeah, you can buy existing ones, but they are often not in the right places.

That IS true. In TTDX you could build them. But you didn't get any profit from them. I actually prefer this.

Personally, I think that an oil refinery should many times more than a train does, but the game doesn't agree with me.

I thought you do? I forgot already, though.

Dr Spike,

CD Copy Protection Creates Pirates is a blog entry written by Brad (GalCiv).

a decent game it doesn't seem to have much replayability though.

It's a good game with some negative aspects ruining the entire complex- I'd play if I had it

Yeah, it came to me as a surprise the first time I played TT, too. I saved all that money.... FOR NOTHING. That pissed me off so much.

You know, another cool aspect would be if the industries would actually vary in price according to their profitablity. A well-supplied Steel Mill should cost much more than a poorly connected one, that is loosing money.



Maybe in the next game of the family, ALL of our recommendations could be accepted.

You mean RRT 3?

I don't see any of their people on here, not like Firaxis with Civ 3...

I enjoyed RT, RT2 and TT for what they were, but lets face it none of them were perfect. Nor do I think its possible to capture everyone with one game - some people want more complexity while others prefer playability. I'd rate all three of these ahead of games like Patrician 2 which went too heavily into complexity at the expense of stuff to make gameplay more fun.

Actually RRT2 was great that way. You didn't like Financial and economical complexity? You can ****ing turn it off, so it's almost Transport-tycoonesque level of difficulty, or you can turn the heat on, so it's very realistic.

What RRT2 seriously lacked is train and track management.

You mean the "sandbox" mode? Blah.
