Ho-ho-ho! Or better said, chu-chu-chu! Firaxis and Atari wish us a steaming Christmas, as they release the promised holiday scenario pack for Sid Meier's Railroads! tycoon, along with the latest patch bringing the game to version 1.10. Some of the changes made by this 21 MB patch are the addition of a new option to "Use All Trains" in the game (when in TT mode), the ability to manipulate the camera freely when paused, larger size maps, and the terrain editor was finally enabled. But for that, you need to edit your "settings.INI" file, and add "EditorEnabled = 1". You can check out the full changelog on our download page for the patch v1.10.

Regarding the 15 MB holiday scenario, you can probably guess what it's all about. Snow, Christmas, cookies... stuff like that. Here's the full description provided by Atari:

"This Holiday Scenario for Sid Meier's Railroads! offers a new holiday train with 2 skins and custom sounds; holiday-themed goodies like cookies, eggnog and toys; cheerful music to get players in the holiday spirit; a wide-open, rugged North Pole environment; and a challenging scenario that pits you against up to three other robber barons who are out to destroy Christmas."

While on the topic of freebies, we again remind you that Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon Deluxe golden classic was also released for free not long ago, and you can also get it locally.
