Description of Arctic Baron

A unique strategy / adventure game set in a hypothesized future where Earth has lost is Sun and all is plunged in snow, Transarctica puts you in command of a 1,000-ton leviathan steam engine that houses thousands of nomads.

You must build different types of train compartments, outwit the war-trains of the evil Viking Union, trade with towns for slaves, mammoths, etc... all in real-time.

Overall, one of the best Silmarils games ever made, despite cumbersome interface and extreme scarcity of resources.

The game is good but it is also a bit boring. Original concept, excellent artwork but somehow you easily get bored mostly due to long battles and long travels from town to town...
