Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

I may fix it up, but if I start putting time into it I'll want to edit the map and everything else as well to make it the way I like it :) Not sure I have the time now to indulge myself.

The map Pennsylvania 1855 has a lot of Event Validation errors in the editor because many events are set to beginning of year evaluation yet have a condition specifying a specific month. Will these events fire? Or was this map always broken?

Great thanks, I'm sure it is what you mentioned. I'll fix it up when I get home.

Is the fertilizer supposed to double the production of farms? I ran this on 1.06 and fertilizer was doubling the production of produce and grain. I then switched to 1.05 and produce production only seems to go up 20%, but coffee and grain production are still doubling.

For the Pennsylvania 1855 map I want to fix the LTD revenue overflow problem: I tried to fix the LTD revenue overflow by saving the yearly revenues/10 in PV3 and using that for the medal test. So two always true yearly events: end of year: player variable 4 + [YTD revenue] beg of year player variabl...

Hahaha I just jumped in the game to rearrange some trains from an AI I just merged with and I'm going what is wrong with this silly AI not running trains here and here... I run a year out and suddenly my profit went from 1.3m to 2.1m. I check my income statement thinking how great my reorganization ...

Haha I have to try this. Who thought up the recipe forum? :)

EDIT - nevermind haha its obvious

You Chinese then?

I'll look into it tomorrow when I'm on my other computer.

Playing a 1.05 map in 1.06 can almost be considered a cheat. The AI is much stronger in my 1.06 playthrough which is making things more fun. The only problem is the AI doesn't know to connect the big cities and run express trains where all the income is. And you get too much money to start - allowi...

One of the things I love is running 'trains' over the 'ocean'. I stole that from 'Men and Seals', by the way - didn't invent it, but I really love the concept. Haha I was like whats going on?! Then I realized what you were doing. That just made this map brilliant by doing that and setting up the in...

I work on a 52" widescreen TV so the pics are really tiny :) My unresized screenshots though are 1360x768. I'll start using [img] tags - I was afraid such wide images would mess up the forum.

Yeah I was worried about the late game with more AIs, but 5 of them haven't built railroads yet (5 years in) and I started with liverpool - manchester - birmingham while another AI connected 5 cities next to me so linked together we both started seeing a lot of passenger revenue early which is huge....

Any reason we can't bump up the number of AIs to 12?

Here are two shots from my Go West campaign. Which has some nice terrain.

The bridge over Poughkeepsie, NYC to Pok and a shot from the fruit orchards near Buffalo at the end.

YOu mean whole game saves (.gms and gmc files) or screenshotz?

Both if you'd like, I'll surely be happy to take a look :)

Just reminding everyone to zoom in and follow a train every once in awhile and enjoy the scenery :)

We can use each other's saves right? Why don't people post saves / screens from their games here? It is probably not the same feeling if you didn't build the railroad though!

It's cities like B & C is where hotels & restaurants can make a little profit. Not so much in A & D. Yeah I see that now. I'd build more hotels, but the government upheld the tax in my game. Even with the +400% cost for industry hotels will still be very profitable in the hub cities I c...

Wow, passenger traffic really picks up after Pullman cars arrive. What is the best way to handle the traffic? I've got 48 passengers waiting in one city that is only connected to two cities. What is weird is that my express trains aren't filling up in that city. I only have 2 trains which run betwee...

Haha I had no idea that was there! I always just clicked on the log in link on the page without looking at it. Nice website you've got here :)

Age of Steam is really well done with the various events adding a lot of flavor to the game. I've been checking out non-US maps but haven't found any that aren't really just basically maps. I'm a huge fan of Crusader Kings which is basically entirely event driven which gives you a lot of roleplaying...
