Go to 'www.firaxis.com' and click on Games, then SM Railroads. What's the very first sentence?

"Sid Meier's Railroads! marks the return of the watershed title in simulation/strategy gaming that launched the popular “tycoonâ€

But I think you guys don't quite understand what has us old-timers peeved about SMR. I can't speak for the others, but in my case what I dislike about SMR is not that it isn't a good game; like I said, it's okay. What has annoyed me enough to motivate me to place a complaint is Firaxis' bait-and-sw...

Well you didn't ask me but I'll answer anyhow.

To CaptinPatch and the rest who are condeming this game: 1) You CAN name your railroad. It's under options. Put a RR name instead of your own. With the download available you have over 100 logos to choose from, or make your own! Minor deal. Personally I can live with the default game. 2) Look over ...

I would like to be able to locate raw materials easier. You can click on a resource from the menu to find out who needs that resource, but it would be handy to be able to pinpoint the source on the minimap too rather than having to scroll around the map looking for them. If you click on a city that...

An open letter to Mr Meier and Firaxis

Since Firaxis does not have their own offical forum, I am posting this here. I have also sent a copy to Firaxis via their company feedback form. -- I'm writing with my opinions about SMR! I have played most of Sid's games and many of Firaxis games, I am a huge fan of both Sid and Firaxis. What I bou...

Another needed improvement

While the "efficiency report" showing how much time is spent waiting / loading is nice, where's the info showing you how much of your train cars are used? If you have a train loading up 3 passenger cars but the city only has enough for 1 car, you could use hauling power to take along something else....

Game improvements

Hi all, first off I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with SMR!, it's not that it's a bad game, it's just that it lacks the standards of other SM / Firaxis games :( All these crash bugs are unacceptable. Big beef to make the game better: Map usage Next time you play a game, scroll around to various...
