City Competitions are a unique challenge in Rail Nation, emphasizing strategic deliveries and fair competition between grouped cities. Winning these competitions requires careful coordination and balanced transport of resources.
Each competition lasts two hours and involves five cities competing against one another.
The objective is to deliver the required goods in a balanced manner. The most crucial factor in determining the winner is the lowest delivered good among the four required resources.
The city that has the highest quantity of its weakest-delivered good wins the competition.
The winning city receives a bonus on all city deliveries for 24 hours, benefiting all its players.
Cities are grouped into pools of five based on multiple factors, such as:
Current city level
Active player count
The exact formula used for city grouping is not publicly disclosed to ensure fairness.
Passengers count the same as cargo during City Competitions.
If Passengers are the least delivered good, they determine the weakest delivery.
This situation is uncommon, as most cities have sufficient players transporting Passengers.
However, in cities with fewer players delivering Passengers, even a small increase in Passenger deliveries can shift the balance significantly.
Cities can level up during a competition.
However, the required goods for that competition remain unchanged, even if the city levels up.
City Competitions add an exciting strategic element to Rail Nation. Players must coordinate deliveries carefully to ensure their city's weakest-delivered good is as high as possible. Winning these competitions grants a valuable 24-hour city delivery bonus, encouraging teamwork and planning among all participants.
Mastering City Competitions can give your city a significant edge—plan wisely and secure victory!
