Railroad Tycoon 3 is a computer game in the Railroad Tycoon series, released in 2003.

New features[editedit source]

The game interface is in full 3D, with free camera movement. The square grid is no longer rigid, as it was in Railroad Tycoon and Railroad Tycoon 2 - rail and structures can now be rotated 360 degrees.The track building function is not very realistic, as tracks are sometimes built at angles almost at 90 degrees to each other.

The economic model has been reworked. In previous games, goods could only be picked up at a station, and revenue depended on the distance between stations. Carloads in RT3 slowly move across the map (representing road and water transport) along the gradient of a scalar field representing price, where supply and demand sites function as sources and sinks. Revenue depends on the price difference between pick-up and delivery. This has several effects; raw materials can find their way to industries and get processed, without any trains involved, and a train does not need to pick up goods at the source.

Other changes include: each carload of mail, passengers and troops now has a destination; car setup can be automated, so that trains always pick up the cars that yield the most revenue; warehouse buildings also appear in the game, completing the commodity market the same way as ports do; trains can pass each other on a single track (as in RT1 on lowest difficulty level); no need for signal towers; service and maintenance depots, as well as station improvements (post offices, restaurants etc.), are placed individually on the map; players can buy industries, and also build processing industries wherever they like; processing industries have limited capacity, but they can be upgraded.

Campaign Scenarios[editedit source]

Just as Railroad Tycoon II, the game contains a campaign with several scenarios, presented by continent - North America, Europe and the World. The campaign interface is an interior of a railway museum, with the voice of the elderly eccentric museum guide from RT2.

North American missions:

  • Go West: New York State & New England, 1840-66.
  • Germantown, USA: Midwestern USA 1850-80.
  • Central Pacific: San Francisco-Salt Lake City, 1855-76.
  • Texas Tea: Texas & northeastern Mexico, 1888-1918.
  • The War Effort: Mid-Atlantic USA, 1941. Tactical scenario.

European missions:

  • The State of Germany: Germany, 1848.
  • The Flying Scotsman: Great Britain, 1848-65.
  • Crossing the Alps: Venice-Munich-Zürich, 1875-1910.
  • The Third Republic: France, 1871-96.
  • Orient Express: Balkans, 1880-1914.
Industrial

World missions:

  • Argentina 1880-1909.
  • Rhodes Unfinished: Eastern Africa, 1902–33
  • Japan Quakes: Japan 1964-85.

Futuristic missions:

  • The Seeder: Greenland, 2020. Tactical scenario.
  • Dutchlantis: Western Europe, 2021-51.
  • A chip off the Old Block: California, 2050-80.

Besides these, the game contains several stand-alone scenarios, such as post-war Italy, France, Western Europe in 1990, Australia, Germany and more.

Loco Commotion extra content[editedit source]

A train based puzzle game included on the Play Disc as a 141MB optional extra. Loco-Commotion involes solving route and shunting puzzles by moving trains at precise times over increasingly difficult environments throughout the multiple levels.

Coast to Coast expansion pack[editedit source]

The freeware expansion pack Coast to coast contains some new locomotives, maps and scenarios. Among the scenarios are imperial Russia and the People's Republic of China. There are unusual scenarios as well; including one in which the United States never underwent the Revolution.

Modding[editedit source]

With the release of the Coast to Coast Expansion pack, in addition to creating maps and scenarios, players were provided with tools to create customs logos, locomotive skins, and players. There are now more than 200 user created scenarios and 100 customs logos available.

Other mods have been created including new locomotives, rolling stock, industries and other building types to enhance gameplay.

Railroad Tycoon 3 - Trainmaster[editedit source]

RT3-Trainmaster is a player-community created super mod that completely alters the Railroad Tycoon 3 game play. It was initially designed to provide a platform for RT3 to play on Windows Vista and extend the playing life of the game. RT3-Trainmaster requires a fully installed copy of RT3 to play. It was released in the Spring of 2010.

It continues to be developed because it is designed to allow for a lot of customization. A whole new supply chain and industrial base has been developed. RT3-Trainmaster can be considered the expert version of RT3 because industries are more complex, and cargo requires micro-management to achieve your goals. Drop shipping is possible in RT3-Trainmaster, and event writing has been improved with some new options such as a third headline in news papers, and special operators when using variables.

RT3-Trainmaster was designed to allow easy customization through the used of modular pk4 files. A rolling stock developer's kit has been created that makes it possible to create new cars and locomotives, or just new skins depending skill level.

RT3-Trainmaster has also added a number of new locomotives such as the Dorchester 0-4-0 and EMD FP series diesel-electrics.

The supply chain in RT3-Trainmaster is more representational with there being 50 freight commodities to haul to industries that are more akin to how goods are made at various times during the game. Railyard Structures are available to help the player get the cargo to its destination.

Approximately 40 new industries have been added to the game and they range from a military industrial complex, to agricultural communities, and light industrial parks and government. RT3-Trainmaster is designed to allow the map maker to create accurate geo-specific maps. Most industries will require more than one input, and as many as five to produce their wares. A supply chain guide is available to help the player.

New player characters have been created, som are fictional and others real persons. Company logos from most common railroads are included with RT3-Trainmaster. New RT3-Trainmaster Campaign Scenarios, 16 in all, are in development. Five have been completed.

RT3-Trainmaster maps are not compatible with other RT3, nor will RT3 maps play in RT3-Trainmaster.

RT3-Trainmaster is available in English and German.

Railroad Tycoon 3, an expansive new strategy game by MacSoft, puts you in the shoes of a fledgling railroad entrepreneur. Your job is to become profitable by laying track, building stations, buying locomotives, and doing whatever you can to add to the bottom line. To succeed, you’ll need a good deal of cunning, business savvy, and foresight. Strategy-game fans won’t want to miss this one.

Laying track can be quite an engineering challenge: Costs will increase if you must grade your track through hilly or mountainous terrain or build bridges over rivers. You also have to match the engine to the track. Certain vehicles may be great for short trips between neighboring cities, but you’ll want to pick a long-haul train for cargo runs between distant points. And if you don’t build enough service buildings and towers along the way, your trains will break down and you’ll lose money and time fixing them.

If you make a simple mistake while laying your track, you can undo it pretty easily. But be sure to pause the game first. If something else pops up on screen before you’re able to undo your mistake—a collision alert, for example—you’ll be stuck with your bad decision, which will then be costly to repair.

Just building a railroad network would be enough to challenge many players. But there’s much more to this deep strategy game. You’ll also have to consider the principles of supply and demand. Building a rail line between points A and B is one step in the process—but what if no one cares? To help you understand the market, Railroad Tycoon 3 offers map overlays that show you which areas offer particular goods and supplies, and which areas need them. Passengers may want to travel from Boston to New York, while a spurt of new population growth may require the transport of more lumber from Manchester, New Hampshire, to Worcester, Massachusetts. Nacogdoches, Texas, has oil, and Fort Worth has oil refineries. In this game, the devil is in the details.

And that’s not all. As a railroad tycoon, you have interests that extend well beyond track and engines. The financial world is your oyster. You can issue stock in your company, pay your shareholders dividends to drive up demand (if your company is profitable, that is), issue bonds to finance your company’s growth, and even attempt mergers with competitors.

You also can use your company’s cash to invest in nonrailroad ventures. Have a line that services a busy hub city? Build a hotel, restaurant, and tavern for weary travelers. If you have the cash, you can acquire or create profitable businesses such as mills, refineries, car manufacturers, and distilleries.

Railroad Tycoon 3 features a series of single-player campaigns that you must complete in order to win—for example, hauling 30 cars’ worth of coffee from Mexico to Texas. Along the way, you’ll periodically receive a newspaper that can help you get a leg up on new technology or learn about new needs your company can serve. The missions get progressively more difficult as you go. And the challenges take on a wider scope. You’ll move from the United States to Europe, to the rest of the world, and then to a short series of futuristic missions—such as building a rail system for the island of California, after seismic activity has broken it away from the mainland.

The game also offers a series of separate challenges for players who want a break from the single-player campaigns. For example, you may have to link the major cities of the British Isles by rail at the dawn of the industrial revolution, or develop a railway system that connects a newly reunified Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall. All of the scenarios offer gobs and gobs of added challenge.

If the game’s economic focus sounds more like a chore to you, don’t worry. Railroad Tycoon also offers a Sandbox mode, which lets you focus on building without worrying about the pesky laws of supply and demand or how much money is in your company’s coffers. This mode was perfect for my four-year-old son, an avid train enthusiast, who just wanted to build tracks and watch the diesel engines run. The game also includes an editor that lets you design your own maps.

Railroad Tycoon 3 supports online competition with other Mac players through the GameRanger service. Alas, you won’t be able to compete against Windows players—the PC version relies on DirectPlay, a Windows-only technology.

The game’s graphics are terrific, with beautiful detail in locomotives, cars, and environments. Its 3-D-graphics engine lets you zoom in from a satellite view of the terrain to an up-close look at your locomotives in motion. This is great for situational awareness: you can instantly check on how your lines and your competitors’ lines are doing. (For best results, I recommend using a multibutton mouse with a scroll wheel.)

Sound effects are also top-notch. Each locomotive has a distinctive whistle. And when you zoom in on a particular location and pan around, you’ll hear the sounds of people, livestock, and goods moving about. The music soundtrack is good—especially if you like the bluegrass and country strains traditionally associated with railroading. However, it gets repetitive after a while and is jarringly out of place in non-United States scenarios. Thankfully, you can turn it off.

The game requires a 400MHz or better Mac running OS X 10.2 or later.

The Bottom Line Railroad Tycoon 3 is unquestionably the best of the Tycoon series. I wholeheartedly recommend it to strategy fans.

Build a thriving railroad empire while bankrupting your competition in Railroad Tycoon 3.
