A bit only in the sense it’s handled from a top down view. However you can’t build towns or cities. You run a transportation business moving goods, people, and supplies from place to place. And competing against up to 8 other rival companies (AI or player) using trucks, rail, planes, boats, and down right nasty tactics with quite a bit of depth depending how far you go with it. Quite a fun and addicting game if you are in to those types of games. That said if you were a fan of SimCity 1, SimCity 2000, rollercoaster tycoon, or business based games this is an excellent if often overlooked classic. ---

Probably sometime this Saturday morning, I’ll be working most of the weekend like usual so I’ll have to build at night. I can probably get somedude in on it too seeing as anyone can join while it’s running for the 24+ hours required for a game. I’ll have to see what the earliest year possible is for trains. ---

OK, I turned it on and tried to play. I built two bus stations… but, how do i build busses? I clicked on the bus, and the build button is gray? So are the trains when I build track and two stations. What am I missing?! ---

You have to make a depot, you then can build trains/trucks at the depot. You can then issue orders to the vehicle as to where to go. As far as resources. Buses can go within or between towns. Typically not profitable until later on once the city has a decent population. Coal Mines -\> Power Plants Oil -\> Refineries -\> Cities accepting goods Forest -\> Lumber Mills As well as a bunch of other things you’ll learn later on with practice. ---
