They do not have to be completly empty but you cannot have any custom maps installed including the Firaxis “A Tycoon’s Tale” aka “Holiday Scenario” and “Sid Meier’s Railroads! Intercontenental!” Do not worry though, you do not have to reinstall Sid Meier’s Railroads! Instead all you have to do is follow these easy instructions.

  1. Go to the “My Games\Sid Meier’s Railroads!” folder, this can be found in the “User\My Documents” folder in windows XP or in the “User\Documents” folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

A 10 X 10 map. 64 turns per month.
Single player, with emphasis on industry.
This is a primitive and wasteful society to start with. They are cutting the precocious forest and burning them locally in their villages to produce energy. They also have a scheme to produce paper, but it does not go anywhere. The paper just will not materialize. Every village will start with its small power plant and a papper mill. These are filler industries to occupy building slots. In order to build a new industry you have to grow them to City. There are only enough empty building slots to satisfy the Scenario requirements.

The food chain has six steps from Oil to Food. Fertilizer will increase production of Grain and Grapes by 150%. Without fertilizer the farms and vinyards are only 50% productive.
After the population has a satisfactory food supply, the tourist industry will pick up. Gambling and good hospitality will bring gold.
Next you will have to build heavy industry. This is an eight step process from Taconite Mine, Iron, Steel, Automobiles, Scrap Metal, Machinery to export.
Lastly, develop fine craftsmanship and export your Chippendale for shiny gold.
The landscape is extremely mountainous; you will have to find gradual routing, because the tunnels and bridges are expensive and also ugly.

Great Britain – (another gameplay) 1829-1957.
This scenario covers the majority of Great Britain and covers the time period 1829-1957. This scenario begins in the early days of steam technology, starting with Stephenson’s Planet, and continuing into the modern era with classic machines like the A4 Mallard and Gresley’s Flying Scotsman. This scenario is of average difficulty, suitable for most players.

War rages and the country is relying on the railroads to keep supplies moving to the front line in the Northwest. Most factories reside in the South, away from the enemy invasion on the Northwest beaches.

Troops demand food and new uniforms. The field hospitals need medicine. Bombs are needed at the airfield in Reneaux. To keep morale up, a constant supply of new troops and letters must also be supplied.
This map is for advanced players.
