* Do industries spring up on their own in RT Deluxe like they did in RT2? I'm pretty sure I just saw two oil wells spring up north of D.C.

Is RT Deluxe more dependent on long routes? This seems modestly profitable in RT Deluxe, but not as profitable as it was in RT2. * In RT2 I got into the habit of running one train of two passengers and one mail between cities, and usually only running between cities adjacent to each other (no long-haul routes). Does this have to do with city size, and if so, how do I measure it? If cash is negative at the end of the year, the railroad pays 12% interest.Īlso, Washington isn't paying for mail, while Fredericksburg and Richmond are. But I have been in a bit of debt thanks to some possibly overzealous expansion. * If my current cash is below zero, am I paying that 6% or whatever it currently is interest on howevermuch I am in the hole? Cause I noticed Interest/Fees were 60% of my expenditures, and even with that $500,000 bond that seemed a little ridiculous. Interest rate is fixed and dependent on the rate at the time you took it out and how many bonds you had out at the time. Is the interest rate on these variable? Right now the bottom of the Stock Broker page says the Interest Rate is 6% (the economy is in a recession). I also found the option to take out more bonds, which my competitors have used quite liberally. * My railroad started with a $500,000 bond. Hopefully that won't change with the Civil War - it's 1860 right now! But I have a few questions on the economics: So far it's been a good game - I have a small but profitable line running from Washington to Richmond. Well, the time has finally come, and as my first game goes on I'm finding it to be more like Railroad Tycoon II than I realized all the time. As a seasoned player of Railroad Tycoon II, awhile back I downloaded Railroad Tycoon Deluxe from Sid Meier's Railroads' website, and thought I'd give it a try.
