Railway Empire

Improvements needed... i think.

I'm in trouble, because i did not played in PC for about a decade. But i have several thing that i have to mention: - The most problematic thing that i cannot move the map with my mouse. In most of the strategy games i click a left mouse button, and "grab" the map, and can drag where i would like to. In this case, i have to use the AWSD buttons. - I got a task to connect railway stations in X and Y Cities, but there were no signs of the destination city. A complex map where you can see all the tasks wold be great. Or the playing area... In the beginning, the tutorial has the "light" effect for example at the signs. The tasks could be similar. -You have to think twice how and where you build your station, because of the terrain. -Managing rails also a problem. In many cases, i have to build and demolish a track because merged to the wrong lane... and there are no trespass. - The trains are very special... They can rum ~30km or miles per hour, and a trip from one town to another takes 1-2 days, however the disance between these cities just about 50-100kms. :) interesting. - The signals... it is frustrating. Why are these are in the game? - Sometimes a train has a triangle on it, and says one item is missing, so it is slow. But you cannot recognise whats wrong... a little help would be nice. Or it can show what is missing/wrong. - The newspapers are annoying. They appear at the worst times. I think there are positive things also, for instance, the game runs on my machine. I have a 5 years old VGA. The graphic detali, and the elements of the map are coorectly made. You can zoom almost you can see the train engineer's eye. The strategy is not just build a train company, but you should manage cities with industry, you can build sights to lure passengers, You could improve your trains by adding staff on it, and you have to manage staff members. They cannot go on well sometimes with each other. Afterall, i like this game :) Maybe in the future there will be a revamped version!
