Rails Across America is a game of railroad empires in North America, covering the period from 1830 to the near future. It is a real-time strategy game with a 'sim' flavor. Rails allows hundreds of tracks with thousands of trains crossing the continent. Players must focus on strategic decisions: where to expand, where to compete, and when to call in favors from government officials, union leaders, and other powerful figures. Sophisticated cargo routing system enables large-scale play enabling hundreds of routes and thousands of engines. Influences let you directly affect other players: cause a financial panic, start an investigation into the player's company, instigate a strike, petition a city for route assignment or force independents out of business. 60 different engines and cars. Intelligent AI modeled after 12 real world rail barons. Up to 8 players in multiplayer over LAN. Create new worlds using the Map Editor and unleash your creativity to craft your ultimate train fantasy.
