“Sid Meier’s Railroads!”
isn’t a linear game.
You will be able to build up your railroad empire using various different approach methods.
Bear in mind, however, that during all of the available scenarios you will be racing against time.
I’ve already said before that the game speed is rather high.
As a result, you won’t be allowed to make any major mistakes.
You also won’t be able to delay some of the more important investments.
Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to fulfill given objectives.
It could also slow down the growth of your railroad empire.
You will have to find out which cities need to be connected and what exactly has to be done.
This will help you to avoid making bad decisions.
You should always be on a look out for bigger cities.
Remember that you will always be able to choose between several start locations.
Take a closer look at the map to choose the most interesting city.
Otherwise you would have to focus on finding industrial buildings and hauling different types of resources.
This will make your life a lot easier.
It would be best to start the game with only 2-3 standard connections.
You will have to ensure that they’re turning profits, so you don’t start losing money.
You should also consider selling some of your stocks.
This will help you to organize a better start.
Sadly, you won’t be allowed to sell your stocks during some of the available missions.
Another important thing is to plan the connections.
double-check that the lines aren’t too long and that you aren’t using a large number of trains.
Each unit should make a few stops along the way, leaving carried goods and taking something else.
There are some exceptions, especially if you plan on adding rare factories or smaller towns to your grid.
Having a larger number of trains would also require you to plan the whole traffic much better.
Your first connections are always very important.
You will have to plan these steps very carefully, so you don’t make any mistakes.
