* ArtificialStupidity: AnEntrepreneurIsYou: You buy vehicles to make a profit by transporting goods, passengers and a lot of other things as well. This game takes it a bit further, however, in that supply and demand allows you to speed up city growth, and you can create roadways and raise and lower land to affect where new houses and buildings are placed as the city grows. Though you only control the transit companies, a player that does a good job of it can also serve as an urban planner in this way.

** You have full reign to turn the cheating back on AI opponents by building a tram or train track across the road their cars are using, dump an engine or tram on the crossroads, and let it sit their blocking their trucks. You can also build a road for their trucks to use, then demolish that road and watch their trucks crash.
