Rail Nation

Rail Nation turns the business of running trains into a persistent online strategy game where railways are the tools for building an economic empire. You develop routes, connect cities, transport goods and gradually improve your network while competing and cooperating with other players. The emphasis is as much on planning and economics as on the trains themselves, so simply owning the fastest locomotive will not magically solve every problem. Routes need to make sense, resources need to move efficiently and expansion has to be planned carefully. The historical progression through different railway eras gives the game a pleasing sense of development. If you have ever looked at a complicated rail network and thought, 'I could organize that better,' Rail Nation gives you the opportunity to prove it.
