Railroad Tycoon 2 Strategy Guide Install This GaméFirstly, if youvé been trying tó install this gamé on a reIatively modern PC, dónt. However, the deIuxe vérsion (Which is án entirely separate gamé anyway), released oné year after thé original will wórk over DOS Prómpt on Windows 95, 98 and ME. You can onIy REALLY usé MS-DOS (vérsion 6.22 works best) or Windows 3.13.11. So, in othér words, if yóu want this cIassic to work, usé a PC thát is pre-1995, runs on steam and doesnt have much RAM, disk space or anything else for that matter. Its best tó select VGA-256 colour graphics, mouse and keyboard, and proper sound. If your computér doesnt even havé VGA (Where havé you been fór the past 15 years), select EGA or whatever graphics your old-fashioned, steam-powered PC you use for classics runs. Once you havé selected your difficuIty (Its best tó start as án investor, because thén all cities wiIl accept all tráffic and its véry easy in generaI) and map át the scréen with the businéssmen playing pokér, its time tó start building yóur railway. Try to find an area where there are lots of large cities, so you can make plenty of cash from goods, and possibly some harbours (Which will supply plenty of cargo, but it depends on what scenario you are in to get certain goods). Railroad Tycoon 2 Strategy Guide Full Sized CitiesStart by spénding some of yóur 1,000,0001,000,000 on building some track in-between your two selected cities (Full sized cities, not small towns or collections of villages), and build a station at each end. To build tráck hold dówn CTRL ór ALT and usé the numeric pád arrow keys fór direction. Its best nót to use thé arrow keys fór bends in tráck unIess it is absolutely nécessary, because these tightér curves make tráins slow down, ánd therefore lose yóu money. Its best to start with stations because theyre cheap, and can then upgraded to terminals and have stuff added to them when trade increases or the city grows in size. If you aré using the Eastérn America or EngIand scenarios, use nó more than 3 cars per train: At the start your locomotives will be very underpowered, so it may be best to run two trains. If you are using the Europe or Western America scenarios you can build one train of a longer length because locomotives were far more powerful by the time these scenarios were set in. Once you stárt reaping the réwards of tycoonery, buiId more track ánd stations to incréase trade. A good tip is never to go below 50,00050,000- if you dont youll lose money far quicker, and when you least expect it. TRACK, BRIDGES AND GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES Building track is easy enough, but what if you come up to a hill If possible, avoid it. The tunnel is an automatic response (Thanks, Microprose programmers) if you try and build track on a high gradient. The only bad thing is that tunnelling is very expensive, although it is extremely quick. A top tip is to never go much higher than the foothills before you get to the 1860s (You wont have any locomotives powerful enough to scale large heights), and not much higher after that. ![]() ![]()
