Otherways, if you like something simple to learn, go play Counter Strike. We all love sid meiers games because of the complexity. Add then some difficulty and you will be addicted in no time. You can learn playing the game in the basic modus and then swich later to the complex modus. You could actually define the parameters of complexity (not only the difficutly but the complexity). In general I would say that SMR is not as complex as RTII, amybe for the sake of getting to play the game easier. Not only does it make real-like-sense (you cant have factories in the 1900 somewhere outside where the is no possibility to get there, but you have to take the recources from where they come from) but I generally like that there is steady flow from the outside to the cities for manufacturing. By splitting one city in half and getting the things from one station to the other you would actually get much money for hauling a little distance. Of course something like this would not be possible here, because of the new revenue system. Getting the perfect location was a big part of the game. You could get a factory or a recource in this area and leace out some houses etc. In RTII you could get a station which would cover a certain area. You had to make more difficult decitions if it is really intelligent to buy a new factory, if the other one is a little further away. And the gameplay would be more complicated. If you thing of it, its even more real-life-like. I d prefer something like stadart price + distance revenue. Now there is a bigger need to get everything near the production. I thought pasengers thanked me for not having to change the train that often). You d been stupid to haul passengers a long distance (I liked those connect-big-cities-with-express-routes-passenger-trains-and-get-people-happy trains.

So, in the end it doesnt matter really seeing it from the real life perspective. Of course there is a basic flaw in the idea, because the railroad company doesnt actually choose the destination. If you thing SMR as an real life simulation, that doesnt make any sense at all. Prices in SMR are fixed for load and change only from the demand/offer regardless the distance you had to haul. It doesnt really matter in gameplay, I just dont like them (same thing in Civ) I am accustomed to the new interface, but I like the RTII interface because it gets you where you want in fewer clacks and there is simply more information on everything. I personally like the RTII interface better. Recources are outside and factories inside a city The size of a station isnt anymore changing The size of the station is not covering an area but a city or recource Revenue is per load and not anymore load and distance. Thus you could start from the easy and when you have learned the game go to the advanced settings, which are more fun. You could choose in the beginning between basic and complex economy, cut throat competition or friedly competitors etc. Buyable laying tracks right and other little things like station buildings Complex stock market system (you could get money from Loans and/or the stock market) and more economical information. You can play next map even if you havent finished previous one more that double tracks (new tracking system)

Would it stil be better? I just write down the pro for every game and the didfferences, occationally look up you replies and add some more i havent thought. Lets assume you ve got no CTD and other bugs (which you will clearly have) and the game works nice.
