Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

I guess the scenario is counterfactual, since it starts in 1829.

Hmm, this is definitely me. Why am I greyed out/unclickable? :o PM Hawk about it. At a guess I'd say the account was closed due to it being inactive. Admins do that sort of thing sometimes. Yep! That would be the reason. Most likely no activity for over a year. I stand guilty, no chance of getting ...

I like the look of this map. It's huge, detailed and straight up pretty. However it seems a bit unfinished. As you say, there is no goal. Also the borders are not 1829, they are more like 1910. And Sahara is full of farms. I think this map needs some love. It would be cool to play a map of 1829 bor...

What have I done!? Those are not floating trees in the image below, they are invisible mountains with trees. invisible.JPG I copied the D3D8.dll file into my 1.05V folder. I ran the dgvoodooCPL application and left everything default except removed the watermark. Then, presto, mountains become invi...

Just curious which maps you were playing?

Iirc Age of steam I, II and IV. And Rails across Russia.

Oilcan, if you want to try it, download "dgVoodoo 2.54" (the latest version) from the official site: http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html. After download, all you need to do is place the file from the "MS" folder named "d3d8.dll" in your game folder. It may ...

I had a go of this one. I can say that strategy-wise it is the best Arop map I have played. There are events which change the economic structure enough to make me think instead of just trying to max out industries. As well as some good historical events. I liked it. Thanks Arop! Whether it was inte...

Tried once on expert magnate, with the 1.05 client, feedback so far: - Liked the map, was fun to play. - Regions are cool, but since I know only loosely where each region is, it's hard to adapt to or exploit. For this reason I suggest making the regions visible on the india map (just give access in ...

Is the page saved for now? Would hate to see it go down. Can even chip in some money, if needed.

Hey. I joined this forum about 3 years ago, but didn't post here then, so I'll do it now. I'm 33 years old, live in Oslo, Norway and study Theology profession, which is a 6 year Master. In addition to computer games I like cooking, politics, reading, pottery, history, languages, philosophy, psycholo...

Oilcan, are you running the dgVoodoo 2 fix? This is the only downside I found for using the dgVoodoo 2 fix on Win 8.1: screenshots don't work when the game is in Full-screen mode. Not just the message, the resulting images however captured are blank. I found some info that might explain: http://haw...

Well yes, first passenger railway, but not the first to use locomotives to haul passengers. They used horses for passenger traffic until 1833, by which time others were already using locomotives for that purpose. But a good little railway nonetheless. (0!!0) True, they used locomotives for goods th...

I came across this write-up on the first passenger railway in the UK, the Stockton & Darlington Railway, when I was trying to find more information about my great great great grandfather John Graham. You see, he was the first Traffic Manager on this railway. Also, some 40 years of his work was d...

I tried it, still get a completely black picture pasted.

Woah, really enjoying this one on expert, though warehouses are a bit broken. Did not use them in the beginning as recommended, but have racked up quite some money from them later. Did not: - Exploit hauling goals by hauling stuff in and out of a city many times (clearly not the creators intent). - ...

I cannot seem to get any screenshots. The ingame button gives me a message that I'm not in full-screen (though I am). The prt-screen button (Windows 8 function) gives me just a black image, when I try to paste it into a picture editor. Has anyone encountered this problem and solved it?

Thanks :)

It's not my screenshots bro, found them on steam :)

I installed the VoodooDG though, it's like night and day. Thanks a lot! :D

Looks pretty cool, custom made graphics

This map was cool, had 120 trains running at the end. Would play again.
