Overview
Description

In A-Train you become the head of a railroad company, designing tracks, scheduling passenger trains, and transporting resources to fuel city growth. Your decisions shape the development of towns into bustling metropolises with stadiums, offices, and ski resorts. The game blends realistic transport logistics with business strategy, rewarding players who balance short‑term profit from commuters with long‑term infrastructure that expands the population and unlocks new revenue streams.

Black & White 2 is an acclaimed god simulation and real-time strategy game where you act as a deity summoned from the void by desperate refugees. Shape the destiny of your followers by developing their civilization through peaceful city-building or brutal conquest, while nurturing a massive physical avatar—ranging from an ape to a tiger—whose alignment reflects your moral choices. Building upon the foundation of the original game, this sequel introduces full-scale warfare and fighting units as you lead your chosen civilization across various lands to defeat rival empires like the Norse, Japanese, and Aztecs. Balance your divine miracles, manage your economy and population's desires, and fulfill an ancient prophecy to achieve ultimate dominance over the world.
