1908 Taiwan
It is the dawn of the 20th century. From 1895 to 1945, Taiwan was colonized by Japan. In that time, Japan heavily invested in modernizing Taiwan's railway system around the island, with bold plans including building tunnels and tracks through mountains. In the Taiwan map for Mini Express, the white company represents Japan. Players are seeking to expand tracks across the island, especially to the 6 major cities; however, mountains pose a logistical problem. Players can at any time invest in Japanese modernization, and it indeed comes with benefits. However, the more players do business with Japan, the tighter the restrictions are in the game. Soon, you might find your influence in a company reduced to nothing if you're not careful. Fulfill your dreams of steel and steam! Welcome to Taiwan! 加油！
1918 United Kingdom
The Great War has finally ended, and the UK won. The economy of the United Kingdom is exploding with opportunity. Ferries to other countries are being negotiated. Harder, better, faster locomotives are being built. Construction of the London Underground begins to flourish. And rumors float about that Parliament will unite and condense the various railways across Great Britain into only a few. Opportunity awaits you in this bull economy, but can you build your railroad empire in time?
Extend the reach of your railroad empire across the globe in Mini Express Map Pack 1.
