Once upon a time, the Empire had a unique project — the "Steelpolis" train, which served as a demonstration of technological prowess, economic superiority, and power. The train completed a full circuit around the Empire, visiting the largest conquered provinces, where it enforced iron order and collected annual tribute. For the local inhabitants, its arrival was always the main event of the year: a herald of news, a festival of trade and entertainment… or a symbol of enslavement and plunder.
However, the Empire is now facing hard times. Its treasury is empty, its infrastructure is on the verge of collapse, and its vast, wealthy territories are living their own lives. The current Emperor is attempting to salvage the situation by reviving this long-abandoned project.
You are the newly appointed mayor of the train, and your task is to rebuild the city on rails.
