Description

Strap in and turn up the power! Railway Empire 2 – High Voltage is ready to charge into the age of railway electrification. With 10 brand new electric locomotives, tycoons become well-equipped to conquer the steep mountains and impressive gorges of the Swiss Alps – but you will need more than electricity alone to convince the railway administration of the advantages of these new engines.

Once you’re able to break down the traditionalist’s resistance, prepare to electrify the whole country and direct the current of industry to make yours the largest and best electrical railroad system of the railway age.

  • The Age of Electrification: Railway Empire 2 – High Voltage vaults players into a new age, as the Steam behemoths begin to lose ground to the new electric power houses of the era.
  • Fully Charged: Utilize 10 authentic reproductions of electrical locomotives, such as the Ce 6/8 III Krokodil and the PRR GG1 Blackjack, including 3 new electronic locomotive sounds.
  • Wired In: The DLC introduces 2 comprehensive, fully voiced scenarios, “High Voltage” (starting 1914) and “Power to the People” (starting 1920).
  • Rise to the Peak(s): Expand through the middle of Europe in the new regional map "Switzerland" – playable as one huge map and 5 detailed map sections.
  • Swiss Craftsmanship: Transport 10 new unique regional products from iconic Swiss Pocket Knives and Herbal Candies to delicious Cheese Fondue.
  • Fresh Frequencies: 20 new themed music tracks and jingles to get you in the mood for the new environment and locomotives.

The scenarios are fine but the overhead wire mechanic is a PAIN IN THE A. adding a spur, supply tower, cross, or really ANY track modification breaks electric routes since it requires you to add lines to the new track

This is a nice addition to an amazing game. In addition to the new content, I like the UI tweaks that are included but aren't documented. There is now a rolling weekly balance figure available that is very useful.

Great DLC. Was about time to bring electrification to RW2. Pity you can't use electric trains in older scenarios - maybe that can be fixed?

'High Voltage' is a big step up from the previous DLC, and a great addition to the game. For your money you get a lot more than in the previous DLC. Here's a quick breakdown: New map(s): We're in Switzerland this time

I really liked this DLC, the maps and scenarios were challenging although it was nice to not have to use supply depots everywhere because the electric trains don't need them. It allowed more easier throughput everywhere
