All this talk of 2d (isometric) vs 3d is too hard and it'd take too long to do anyway...why not just do it as a top-down game a la "Rails Across America" or SimCity with distinct Industrial Areas/Commerical Areas/Residential Areas...
Anyone thought of a name for this "Transport Tycoon 2" - you can't call it Transport Tycoon surely...here is a poll (see below)
I personally think Transit King is a "pretty cool" name - only problem is that it sounds like your the king of ford transit vans or something.
yeah, Transport Empire isn't bad - Empire is Empire, sth veeeery big, not just Kingdom or simple tycoon but EMPIRE
(and you're not manager anymore but Emperor )

We should avoid any resemblance to TTD for legal issues. And the name is not to important right now, to much work has to be done before we can even call it Game! Regardless of the name.
but single 'tycoon' doesn't explain, what is whole game about - Transporting... (and I don't remember if there was a 'Tycoon' game in the past)... IMO 'Transport' word is necessary
I like Transport Empire the best......but then again I made it up.
