So timewise, we're starting at the top? Great Lakes DLC, then Transport and Staff updates, then Andes DLC?

[General Tso]

Any details on the updates? What is a Transport update? What is a Staff update?

Does this mean they they are giving out new cars and replacing their current employees or does it have something to do with the game? :)

The transport update sounds great. Hopefully, it's more depth so some cargoes are worth more to haul than others, also untimely delivery penalties, etc.. These sort of things that allow deeper strategy for best performance.

I am going to guess that those will be free updates to the game focusing on balancing or adding new features centered around those topics. "Staff" is probably your security guards, stokers, saboteurs, and the like. "Transport" is more ambiguous, since the whole game is ostensibly about transport. Hopefully the "more details following soon" will clarify.

I'm not thrilled about being offered one new map/scenario at a time for $7 each, even with some additional bells and whistles (literally). The older Railroad Tycoon games included great historical scenarios in England, Canada, Africa, Germany, and other parts of the world, all as part of the base game. I really like this game, but I was disappointed at the complete absence of non-American scenarios. I'd be willing to buy a DLC that has a bundle of international maps, but not one at a time.

@Voilodoin: Exactly, we are starting at the top

@General Tso: You will get updates when we get closer, the transport update will be released in the public beta branch soon though.

Very dumb questions has there been a release or update because I don't see it in the game or do you have to successfully do Mexico???????

[jerry1940]

I Hope this game will have modern ages too and difficulty campaign like RailRoad Tycoon 3,who played it knows it was hard even at easy levels.

In Beta I have this issue alot with cross rail https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198006960389/screenshots/

Warehouses good but are they any better than just popping down a second station? Im not sure about this, fair enough if AI already has a station in a city it has benefits. Still think you should consider Small - 2 lines, medium 4 lines and large 6 line
Building suguestion - maybe similar to Supply Stations have, Service Points providing maintaince for those extra long journeys and a way to reduce conjestion at the stations? :0)

Also maybe they have been disabled but station staff seem to be missing

Chop chop, please. It's getting very boring.

That map looks great.

just a small note to marketing guys: when we are all waiting patches and update to make the game more rational and playable, do you really think we are waiting for and we will buy some DLC? when the base-game itself have some obvious problems?

[Skybreaker]

Hello endiendo,
could you share some more details about those problems?
Could you give example of those obvious problems?
Have you reported those already to our devs in order to get this sorted and probably fixed?
If not, please feel free to share here:

For God's sake, don't complain. They'll forum ban you. Say nice things even if you've had the game since day 1 w/550+ hours.
