- Railroad Tycoon 2 Platinum - 36 - Second Century: Antarctica Rising Campaign Walkthrough Gameplay
Difficulty: Hard
Gold Medal Obtained.
Railroad Tycoon II is a train and business simulation video game in the Railroad Tycoon series. Gameplay is displayed in diametric view, contrary to the top-down view of Railroad Tycoon.
Railroad Tycoon II is a railroad simulation that covers the entire history of railroads from inception to the present day and beyond. The player chooses a map and assumes the role of chairman of a railroad company. The player tries to make profits for investors and completes various other objectives while being hindered by rivals, random events such as train breakdowns, train robbers, economic swings, and scripted events particular to the scenario.
Most of the gameplay consists of building tracks, stations and trains, which are used for hauling passengers and freight from one station to another. Delivery revenue can vary by time, distance, demand, cargo type, economic state, station improvements and difficulty level. Companies can connect to and use each other's track and stations, so revenue can be split. Expenses include the fuel, track and engine maintenance and management fee. The fuel cost depends on the cargo weight and the distance each engine runs. Engine maintenance depends on engine age and the engine's type (some locomotives cost more to maintain than others). The elder engines cost more to keep them on the line. The track maintenance is solely calculated from track mileage.
The player will determine what kind of cargo(es) to put on/off at each station that the player adds to its routing. Way-points may also be inserted to override default track selection where multiple paths are possible.
There are many industries in the game, and each can produce and/or convert specific cargoes. For example, coal mines produce coal, iron mines produce iron, and, in the advanced game, a steel mill can convert 1 load of iron plus 1 load of coal into 2 loads of steel. The players are encouraged to find a chain of production to make new cargo by hauling the right type of cargo to each step of the industries. By doing this right, the player can haul raw materials one way, "create" manufactured return cargo, and make even more money hauling finished products back the other way. You can support me here:

RIP channel you were a great one
This game took a weeeeeird turn. Starts off and continues into rather grounded in reality scenarios such as the rise of Steam in Britain to the construction of the Oriental Express and then suddenly 6 scenarios later the entire world is flooded from the explosion of a thermo power plant that turned Spain into a giant active volcano. Like this game went from 0-100 so fast.
Bongo in a Top Hat You can say that again! XD
3. Digesting the second company is difficult. Again you have to immediately retire their trains as the stations have no water or roundhouses. Engine expenses are going to skyrocket. This will eat into your profit and you may be in the 2060s when the depression hits. You have to be totally ruthless now. Retire all of your engines over 10 years old and generally cut down to about 7 trains. Focus on long haul passenger rides (Edward to Foundation was my connection with two trains) with 2 trains doing quick short hauls and 2-3 doing medium trips. If any engine is appearing to underperform and is not making a profit retire it. With a group of 5-9 trains try to survive until the depression ends and start building cash to pay off the bonds. Ideally you get into the next good business cycle with no debt and over 11 million in book value. Build your cash up to at least a million and buy up a majority of your last opponent. It should be ranging in the $4-6 million.
It is a great game. Glad to see people still playing it.
Legends Never Die
Congrats on completing the campaign on Gold! I wish I was as good as you, haha. Can't wait for the next game ;)
Lol next game, this channel is dead. Where did he go?
I view this level as being extremely difficult. I think one of the main issues is the fact that the AI has companies which are really worthless when you buy them. They don’t have water towers or roundhouses and are running really unprofitable lines when you buy them. I would advise a low or no debt scenario and focus on profits and book balance. Buy the companies as the economy is cooling or in recession. As soon as you buy them retire the trains as your maintenance bill will shoot up and kill your profits. Buy them out with this strategy in this order.
1. One of the companies will be doing poorly and have a mountain path with no access to sea. Buy this company out at the first recession with cash and no debt. Stock issue is fine too. Usually you have a margin call during the first recession so you have to buy it out to keep your net worth up. Ideal price should be about a million to $1.5 million. Below a million would be best. Retire the acquired trains immediately.
wow what's next... more nice snd relaxing trains or a city builder.... you truly are one of the best youtubers i have the pleaser of wathing :D
Thanks Seltin1988 for being there! Now it's time for some planes!
Game Destroyer oh planes seems like that could be fun :) i do hope to see more city builders like tropico and imperium romanum from you... its always soo nice to se your vids :)
@@GameDestroyer 2 years later no planes :(
2. The second company should be bought out with a value of around $2.5 to $4 million at most. Try to buy this with half cash and half with bonds. Ideally the price should be less than $3 million. Immediately retire all the newly acquired trains or retire them after they deliver their cargo if they are close. The stations have no water and no roundhouses. The next part becomes even harder.
Love the game. and ta serios from Eons about warm polar regions. i just imagine the rain forests in arctic and antarctic. please lrd heat the earth
3. [continued] build up your book value with no debt to about $11-13 million so that by 2070 you are ready to buy them out. Get the cash ready and then let the economy cool slightly so you don’t pay top dollar. Calculate your book value plus the new company minus the bonds and buy the last company if it is higher than $15 million. Retire their trains and wait out for the computer to acknowledge it is $15 million (a bad merger will crash rapidly with rapid large losses). If you have run a tight ship and has minimal debt and calculated equity correctly you have made it and get the GOLD
Antarctica is one of the strange maps in the game besides NO ELECTRIC TRAINS
Bravo!
Will you be trying any of the scenarios, or are you entirely sick of the game by now? It would be pretty cool to see you to beat the very challenging one called "Making The Grade". I've probably spent more time inside that map than outside of it, even though I've never beaten it.
In any case, thanks for making this series.
Thanks! The Second Century was really challenging for me, so I don't think I will play any scenarios for the moment. But now that you mentioned "Making the Grade" I'm curious, so I will give it a try.
Thanks for watching
@@GameDestroyer hello you are live?
@@GameDestroyer will you try Making The Grade? it seems you already had enough with this game? :)
@@pkpjn2000 he's gone man
@@EXPLRWater oh no :(
Nice.
Wow, it sure took you long enough to click on a port... But thanks for eventually doing so, Destroyer. Great seeing you conquer such a difficult mission... I dare you to try beating the final "practice mission" in Offworld Trading Company! :-P (If you think it looks difficult in UA-cam videos, it's been made much more difficult since then!)
What can I say about this scenario? It took me enough retries, and I was repeatedly typing "viagra" in the cheat console like I was a limp old man!
...And happy holidays, Destroyer! Hope you come back soon. But if not, I'm loaded with a ton of games on Steam I need to play. (I mostly bought them because I got quite a few Steam gift cards for Christmas, and I wanted to take advantage of sales.)
so when vil you upload some new vids? dont mean to nagg now that the holiyday season is here but i miss your vids man :(
Nice video! I played this game in 1998, and the first version before...!! I bought on steam some days ago the collection. Did you use an old pc to make your videos? Because on my superpowerful modern pc, I can't see decent, lol. Must setting Geforce on lower level, or changing pc settings? Thank you! .-)
And go do need for speed the Whole pack and fast and furious game to
When are u coming back? And would you like to try Rise of legends and settlers 7?
He's dead 😭😔😯😮😖😄😄😄😄🤣🤣😁😁😁😏🌚😈👿😈😈😈🖕🖖🖕🖕🏼🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Fuck you.
@@Hello-pk6hw fuck you
@@Hello-pk6hw you are a idiont
So do a test drive one of these cars in real life
Oh, and if you ever need help with AT, just ask! I've beaten the game more times than I can count and know a few tricks ;)
Thanks Donald, I'm sure I will need it because I haven't played AT more than a couple of weeks a long time ago. I think I will upload as I play so I can learn. Waiting for those tricks ;)
If I were to tell you all the tricks I know, I'd have to write a book, haha. How about this - you play the game your way, I'll analyze your video and give you tips on the gameplay ;) Right now I can tell you that there are two missions which will make you pull your hair out. One of them was designed that way and the other one is broken because of a serious oversight. Both are beatable, however, but they both need extreme luck.
Oh, and another thing - you like challenges, so I suggest you pick the Honey Airlines guy. He has the worst AI of them all, so if you play as another character, it's unlikely you'll lose to him. If you play as him, however, all your competitors will have decent/good AI and may beat you.
Wake up. Don't quit man.
He did
when are back I'm new?
Go do forza 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and Forza Horizon 1 2 3 4 5
wtf man when is your next video?
whats the logic of selling shares you dont own in this game?
You’re selling “short” which is essentially something that can make you money if you think their stock will go down.
If you sell short (sell stocks of a company when you don’t own any of their shares in the first place) at $50 and the stock goes down, you “buy to cover” at the new lower price and earn the difference in prices.
Perhaps a non-stock example might help? Let’s say your friend lends you his fancy new car for five years. You could immediately sell that new car for, let’s say, $30,000 anticipating that five years from now you could buy it back for $10,000. In the process, your friend gets his car back and you made $20,000.
Be careful though, because of the stock prices rise and you’ve sold short, you may be forced to buy to cover at a higher price and you’ll lose money!
