Railway Empire 2 – Steel Dragons invites players to expand their rail empires into the vast and storied landscapes of China. This ambitious DLC transforms the familiar challenge of railway management into a new cultural and geographic adventure, blending the power of steam with the beauty and complexity of the Middle Kingdom. From bustling coastal ports to mist-shrouded mountains and the winding Yellow River, every track you lay weaves a story of progress, ingenuity, and ambition.
The expansion introduces a sprawling new map of China, which can be played either as one grand, interconnected territory or divided into five distinct regions for a more focused experience. Each area offers unique logistical challenges and strategic opportunities, demanding that players adapt their railway networks to varied terrain and local economies.
A new fleet of historically inspired locomotives brings the industrial spirit of the era to life. Eight distinct Chinese steam engines, including the remarkable "Rocket of China" and the powerful Shènglì 8, allow you to build and operate rail systems that feel both authentic and deeply satisfying. The addition of more than twenty new goods, from silk and bamboo to gunpowder and traditional medicine, adds fresh depth to the economic gameplay, encouraging creative trade routes and supply-chain strategies.
Three narrative-driven scenarios immerse you in pivotal moments of China's industrial journey. The expansion features three campaigns: Humble Beginnings (1880), Journey to the West (1890), and Of Bicycles and Fireworks (1900). Each of them offers a distinctive blend of story, strategy, and challenge.
Railway Empire 2 – Steel Dragons is an invitation to reimagine how railways can transform nations. For players who love deep strategy, intricate logistics, and richly detailed world-building, this DLC delivers a powerful new chapter in the saga of industrial growth.
