The overall effect is that poor goodwill in a territory leads to higher costs to acquire the rights to lay track and to run trains. Every territory has a default value, but certain things can raise it (manager bonuses, reliable and frequent service) and other things can degrade it (untransported cargo loads, breakdowns, and so forth). Alliance Meter: In Tycoon 2, you can go into your company's information book and see just where you stand with various territories in terms of their goodwill.Production facilities can also disappear, but the process is very random. These local facilities can outcompete distant ones, as the newly generated demand will be on par with the remote one, making hauling commodities unprofitable, which is not allowed by the game mechanics. Processing industries tend to spawn in areas with a high concentration of raw resources, simulating private entrepreneurship.This process is usually very inefficient, but depending on the relative locations it can actually feed industries on its own, as the cargo moves slowly inland (very slowly and possibly not at all in mountain terrain), but adequately faster via rivers and other bodies of water. There are other rivals companies building their own transport networks like in the previous installments, but the game itself implements an alternative new method: Unpicked goods and materials are gradually moved from their production sites to the places where they are needed, following a supply and demand logic and price curves.A.I.-Generated Economy: Railroad Tycoon 3 has an intricate and well developed economic system:.In Tycoon 3, some cheap station buildings maliciously placed in the right places can block the AI expansion forever, as they can't evict or bulldoze buildings of rival companies.Morgan is easier to face if he cannot invest in industries as he tends to do. In Tycoon 2, an AI character like Jim Fisk or George Hudson will be stymied if the difficulty settings prevent them from their usual stock market manipulations, or J.This leaves two isolated stations with no track at all, which subsequently leads to the collapse of the rival railway. Try this: find a three-city-long AI-controlled railway line and defeat the AI in a rate war for the middle city of the aforementioned three. Furthermore, AI players in the original game could not reconnect stations that had been severed by a rate war in an adjacent city.The AI cannot get anywhere, and with no way to make any revenue, their company dies a swift death, with the added insult-to-injury being that the player's company is now easily positioned to take over the same now-vacated city with their own station. The answer? Immediately (or at least very soon) build a spur line over to near the AI company's lone station and encircle it with track completely - then just leave it. Let's say some inconvenient AI player decided to start a company with its first city not far from the Player Character's growing network, threatening to go From Nobody to Nightmare in no time.
In the original installment of the game, railway tracks from one company could not cross other companies' tracks.
