There is also the question of money and finance.

What complicates this process is that in the campaign there are a number of balls you have to juggle at once, all in order to get your mission objectives going. Now you have a transport link and that’s the essence of the game.

So you need to build a transport depot, select the right vehicles for the right job and link it to your route. You then build a route from one place to another, through a railway line or a bus route, and then you need to man it with some vehicles. This could be coal, wood, animals, or people for example. What you do in Transport Fever 2 is quite hard to describe, but it mostly comes down to partaking in various scenarios in which your job is to find something that needs to be delivered from one place to another. It’s a brilliant mode and gives you plenty to do with a superb historical backdrop that takes you around the world. But it also gives you a historical journey through the transport world, working from the 1850s until the present day. This mode offers a long tutorial that takes you through a step-by-step guide to all aspects of the game. But I think the best place to start with this game is with the campaign. There is the free mode to play with once you’ve got to grips with the mechanics of the game, and that is best for when you are comfortable with all that’s on offer.
