Economic Legacy in the Modern Age: Railroad Tycoon and the Great Merchant
So, you’ve made it to the Modern Age? Well, that just means you’re one step closer to a Civilization 7 Economic Victory, assuming this is the path you want to follow for this particular era. The objective now is to amass Railroad Tycoon (RT) points.
To get RT points, you must have Rail Stations in your settlements, as these buildings allow you to construct Factories. Each settlement that has a Factory lets you assign 1x resource into a special slot. Each “Factory Resource” grants an RT point per turn. For example, if you have 10 Factories across your empire and all of these have a resource, then you’ll receive 10x RT points every single turn you advance.
- Step 1:
- Research the Industrialization tech.
- Build a Rail Station.
- Step 2: Research the Mass Production tech.
- Step 3: Build a Factory.
- Step 4: Earn 150x Railroad Tycoon points.
- Step 5: Earn 300x RT points.
- Step 6: Earn 500x RT points.
Ah, but you’re not done yet. Upon reaching 500 RT points, a Great Banker will spawn in your capital. At this stage, you need to send the Great Banker to every remaining civ’s capital to use its special action: Establish the World Bank. The Great Banker also has a unique ability that allows it to teleport instantly to cities, so you need not worry about long travel times.
In any case, once the Great Banker has conducted its activities in all the remaining capital cities, the World Bank will be automatically established, netting you a much-deserved win.
