About Railway Empire

✦ AI summary

Build an expansive rail network across 19th century North America, purchasing detailed trains and constructing stations, factories, and attractions while managing your workforce through five technological eras. Outmaneuver up to three rival tycoons through cunning strategy, sabotage, and industrial espionage as you race to dominate the continent's railroad empire.

United States, 1830: ‘The New World’ is in its ascendancy. Industry is booming, and the race is on to establish the most dominant and powerful rail empire in all of North America. It’s time to outthink and outmaneuver your competitors as you lead your company into the 20th century!

In Railway Empire, you will create an elaborate and wide-ranging rail network, purchase over 40 different trains modelled in extraordinary detail, and buy or build railway stations, maintenance buildings, factories and tourist attractions to keep your travel network ahead of the competition. You’ll also need to hire and manage your workforce if you want to ensure an efficient train service, whilst also develop over 300 technologies ranging from mechanical improvements to the trains themselves to workplace infrastructures and advanced amenities as you progress through five eras of technological innovations.

However, you can’t just build and research your way to the top – the competition never sleeps, and to keep your business on track you’ll have to survive against up to three rival tycoons. To get to the top you may have to resort to more cutthroat tactics as you attack and sabotage your opponents through raids and industrial espionage.

Fun tip. Start each mission by surrounding the AIs station with tracks and block them from expanding

Very high production budget for visuals and sound, very poor execution on the technical side of things in terms of UI/UX, functionality, track placement and gameplay.

As far as I see it, the track management simply does not work. At least not in the Linux version of the game. Wondering if also other functionalities are unavailable. Too bad as the overall look and feel is ok.
