As of today the 17th of the 10th month of 2009 Sid Meier’s Railroads is now three years old! Since Sid Meier’s Railroads!: Intercontinental was launch to coincided with Sid Sid Meier’s Railroads’ first birthday it itself is now two years old as well.

A lot has happened in these short years, not least of which is now just about every modern computer is able to run Sid Meier’s Railroads on the highest settings. To celebrate I’m going to go play a game of Sid Meier’s Railroads online and dream about what the next year is going to bring.

A few months back hooked railroad’s wiki was broken due to a change in the site’s core. They decided not fix it and instead put out the call to find another host. After a bit of waiting it is now safely hosted here on Sid Meier’s Railroads Simple. It has not been updated for ages and, well theres nothing wrong with that. I will be locking it to preserve it from vandals so it should be here for ages and hopefully generations to come. Check it out if you would like, it also contains some non-Sid Meier’s Railroads pages from Hooked Gamer’s other wikis, I’ll leave those for anyone curious.

You have the assignment from the United Nation High Commissioner to bring relief to this impoverished nation.
You are given 6 years to alleviate hunger, after that 3 years to restore industry, an finally two more years to bring in the tourist industry.
If you succeed your rewards will be great, but if you don’t; you will be fed to the lions….
To start with you are given a run down rail system, where you can buy a train for $1,000 or for $1,400, but the maintenance is $10,000 and $20,000. After the initial high cost you will have new engines with normal maintenance cost.

This is a 15 X 15 SAM map.
The scenario is performance oriented. The goals are to move a certain amount of goods from industry to consumers.
The duration of the scenario is 11 years, but there are 256 turns per month. The engine maintenance cost has been adjusted to reflect this. (Except the first few years)
