Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

You are correct Hawk, it has to be done right, not just a bunch of fancy graphics with no substance to the game. I have also seen this happen too many times in the past with games where the sequel(s) turned out to be worse than the original. And, the ai definitely needs improved too. And then, after...

Hawk, I was also surprised that T2 took over Firaxis. They are still working on titles like Civ, and I didn't know it until today that they were a subsidiary of T2. So I learned something here too. You are allowed to be wrong sometimes, but it's very rare when it happens! !*th_up*! I think it would ...

It says on Wiki (Firaxis) that Pop Top was consolidated with Firaxis, but then Take Two bought Firaxis in 2005 for 26.7M, T2 has a ticker on Nasdaq: TTWO Who knows, maybe T2 would do a new RR simulator. But we don't want something simplified, it should be an improvement on RRT3. It's nice to know th...

I meant to say Pop Top Developers, not Sid. And I was not happy with Sid Meir's RR, it was too basic with not much realistic control. They (Pop Top) were absorbed into Take Two Interactive Software, so was Firaxis. So T2 would be the ones to make the decision on whether or not to come out with a new...

I can see why you have it voluntary, taxes are complicated enough as they are. So per your example, the download counter is indeed nearly completely erroneous. Rather than 819 downloads for my map, it could be a couple hundred or maybe even less than 100. I still think RRT3 is the best we have and w...

I understand what you are saying. Too bad a simple counter can' t be accumulated each time someone clicks to download. It would be nice to have more feedback from those who simply come in to do downloads, not sure how that could be done though. Perhaps nudge them a bit to give feedback and make a do...

Thanks for the info Hawk and I'm sorry to hear you had to switch to another system for financial reasons. I think everyone who uses the site, especially if they download content, should make a donation once in awhile. I made some sort of comment to that effect in that map, requesting that people mak...

Hello Hawk, There used to be a counter next to all the maps to tell us how many downloads had taken place. Are the maps still being downloaded by the general public? If possible, could you please tell me how many downloads there have been for: "North America - Early Discovery" ? And out of...

Sorry it's taking me so long to get back. I am glad you like the Scenario. I am going to start working on an NAED2 here shortly. Yes, the honor rules state you should not be the only one on the West Coast and if so you should restart until you have some competition. It is definitely possible to merg...

Actually, it's very easy creating the three different loco choice maps. I simply work on one of the maps and then when ready to release, go into the editor and save two more with the different loco choices in the editor checked off. This only takes a few minutes. I was trying to get an event to pres...

Sorry I was away for some time and have not been on the site. Thanks to both Oilcan and Ray of Sunshine for their detailed review and for the problems and ideas you both listed. I am upset that I overlooked that final calculation for the taxes, maybe it's my growing age :oops: that caused it. But I ...

I am pleased to report that that first, the second release, version 1112b of NAED is now available for download. Second, that the issues related to the AI not connecting with many cities and regions has been fixed. Yes I burned alot of my vaca to do this but it was worth it. I just felt bad that peo...

Hi Everyone, I finally was able to put my new Scenario up after working on it for a few years and wanted to post this message to gather any feedback, both positive and negative. Make sure you have a powerful enough computer and video card because this map is big and has alot of features. I am alread...
