Minnesota

Goal: Land of 10,000 lakes. Forests and prairies. Learn a little history and lore.

Author's Comments: This scenario basically attempts to recreate a portion of the rapid expansion of railroads during the period 1850-1900 that occurred in the upper Midwest United States. In this case, I've concentrated on the state of Minnesota and the immediately surrounding areas. Your goals are spelled out in the scenario but the general idea is that you're trying to build a large and prosperous railroad with Minneapolis-St Paul as its hub. You'll be encouraged to support the key industries of farming, timber and iron mining. All victory levels involve a requirement to make yourself and your investors wealthy. The specifics of each victory level are contained in the opening briefing.
