Unite a Continent
The Rail Road Union has tasked you with an impossible feat: forging a path from the bustling East to the golden West. In this deep city builder simulation, you are the architect of progress. Lay tracks across treacherous terrain, establish vital trade routes, and transform isolated outposts into thriving hubs of civilization. The frontier is vast, but your ambition must be greater.
From Raw Earth to Iron Rails
Expansion requires more than just a blueprint; it demands a powerhouse of industry.
Harvest: Scout the wilderness to extract timber, stone, and precious ores.
Refine: Build complex production chains to turn raw materials into high-value trade goods and construction supplies.
Trade: Manage a dynamic economy where every resource can be sold for profit or used to fuel your westward expansion.
Procedurally Generated: Every game is uniquely generated, forcing you to adapt your resource chains and rail routes to the terrain. From the placement of mountain passes to the temperament of local villages
The Human Frontier
The West is already home to those who might not welcome the noise of progress. To succeed, you must master the art of negotiation. Every town leader and settler has a unique personality and a breaking point. You aren't just building stations you’re earning trust. Solve local crises, provide essential goods, and convince skeptical mayors that the railroad is their future, not their downfall.
Trade the market
Union of Rival features a feature rich simulated market that reacts to world events for all produced goods.
Sell high, buy low!
