Hi I have bought a-train 9 from gamersgate after i have seen a lot of video on youtube, i was fashinated from preview, i love micromanageing games and trains,and i play simcity4 from the first days thx to simtropolis and our great modders i play it even today , after the download i installed the game at 10 pm, and i have waited the first screen, and it was a really good sensation, good frames and nice cities. The game looks well done and with great work on manageing trains bus and trucks, very similar to traffic giant. But here come the pain, the game is so big, and the manual so little lol, no explanation at all J. Build and add tracks and roads are easy, but after you need to make your trains running, no clues was given from the manual. But so many years of simcity4 micromanageing and many tycoon and simcities games help me. I choosed a map medium difficulty , a island and strated to place some trucks and buildings, in the meantime the game grows buildings and roads alone, but i am unuseful, all happens without my help, and i want control. So at 11pm 9 i closed the scenario and i started a sandbox, and layed my first square of roads in a empty land,a material factory that produces containers that are needed from ai to build and for me to have resources then i added 2 bus and 2 trucks that are in the middle of nowhere, after 1 min a first building appears on the map and then a second, now i need to make developing zones so i added a warehouse in a side a my trucks started to bring resoueces there and i added my first power plant, a windmill, cost 3 resources produces1000kw.then i added a shop becouse now i have a flow of resources from my factory to my warehouse, but the game is not only a plop and wait game, i need to control where the trucks and the bus go, but no help or clues are in the manual or in internet, but in a japanese page of player i have found a clue, control your bus trucks and trains with timetables, traffic lights and operating mode so i clicked a little around and find them on my stops. now the problem was i have a warehouse on the left of street and on other on the right and my trucks go both at right lol, and if you click on road junction and set left both trucks goes left, so i looked again in this so big menu and in the options i found graphs? option and there i are the timetables settings J now i can add numbers to trucks and busses, and i have a big menu on every traffic where i choose the number of truck,i choose direction and wonderful sight my 2 trucks choosed 2 different path J i added more trucks and more developing zone was opened to AI colonization. the first 2 screenshots. Now all runs more smootly i can start to make more thinghs and my trucks are no more dumb, the i started to build my city,and played till 3 am lol and was really fun, is a good game and is moddable with a building editor that is already in game. I will like to have all the 200 trains that are in the original game but are only for german version, and the patch that i downloaded from german site doesnt work on english version, there are 2 add on kits with hundreds of building in the japanese version but are only for that version i think. I hope that some modders of simtropolis that will love it and add some new buildings. My vote after 2 days of game is a 8-9, is a lot better of many simcity games that i played after simcity4, the graphic is good and there is a lot of space for micromanagement and control of trucks bus and trains Now my sandbox city looks better and there are even some trains and i started a second district so i can make it grows fast If you like this kind of game it worths the 30 euro and is for sure a new good addiction. the other screenshots are of my city today and here the trailer of the game, a must see J if any1 will try the game and will need help i will try to give it
