Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

Played through again. Adjusted this start to $350k in player cash. Now that I have a better idea what to do, I was able to get to.......... $977m with a few mistakes along the way. Next beta is further down on this page.

2.4 loads is the actual hex output of grain farm. Where did you find "2.4" output in the bca file? The Grain Farm may output that in Boom times, but the base figure in the hex according to my editor (decimal address of 247) is precisely "2". Gumboots, do you remember our discuss...

2.4 loads is the actual hex output of grain farm. On top of that you will get 1 extra load of grain for every 1/5th load of fertilizer the farm accepts. The farms seem to only accept 0.7 fertilizers loads at the max. So 7÷2=3.5. 3.5+2.4=5.9 not 6. But this game may not show all decimal points. (Like...

PS. It's neat that with the split Furnace/Smelter, Ceramics disappears entirely from the map. What's neat about it? Not that I'm totally addicted to the Ceramics cargo, but is not having it an advantage in some way? Rock's base price is 20 ceramics is 40 & concrete 100 So instead of the normal ...

Oilcan, I see that you haven't connected to any of the resources in special territories. One of the distinguishable features of Cash on Wheels' style is to have a single mine (sometimes a few in the case of Oil Wells) in a tiny piece of out-of-bonds territory. Once you connect to the adjacent city ...

I failed this attempt. The closest I made it to was $840M PNW at the end of 2004. I kept accumulating cash, but the economy declined later on resulting in only a 1:1 ratio of CBV to PNW. At the end of ..... I noticed the economic stall around 2004 also. Tries before fizzled out around 1992 with abo...

The cargo limit is hard and fast. According to Stoker (when he started trying to improve 1.06 industries) there are 16 free industry slots in 1.06. However, TM uses more than this, at the expense of dropping some "Add ... (Industry name)" from the event effects list. I would call this a &...

Salt, sand, spaceships, tabbaco, tools, valuables & wine can be added to the game. The other like tin reuse an icon like aluminum's. Or the icon is incomplete.

Sure. Cement kiln. Cement works. Don Gianni's Department of Concrete Shoes. Need more? By the way doesn't 1.06 already use all the industry slots? Flintstone auto plant? Sounds like winner. There's room for one more cargo, I can use 52 without any problems. To stop it from throwing other cargos out...

That's funny, I was never told there was a difference. considering I drove for a bulk carrier years ago, I should know better! Then again I always picked up portland cement from the railroad anyways. Just kiln alone sounds boring to me. Got any suggestions?

I did some experimentation at one time to see if I could get more consumption and less re-hauling. I realized that it wasn't an easy thing to balance and went on to other endeavors. To be fair, I have no idea how your 1.16 plays. I don't remember seeing the mod for download. Did I miss it? The defa...

You can deliver clothing to any city on map. If there is only one steel mill on the map, the iron for the mpst part will head only in that direction. Iron will never be shipped to a house.

Everyone know Iron will only go to a steel mill or a tool & die. It will never go to a house. Therefore, Iron will not hop on board any train that comes to the station. What if I did this with every cargo like I did in my 1.16? The houses only use mail, pass & waste (Start date 1940 for wast...

^^^^^Bumpty bump^^^ for new map.

I think this should be an update for 1.06.

After months of production delays Holyland is finally ready for BETA. With all the tourist, oil, tech, Military and stratigic locations around your player better be mega rich by the end of this one ! ****this game is intend to play with hex edited 1.06 mentioned here: http://hawkdawg.com/forums/view...

Turkey & syria painted! Now that I've got thr ball rolling again I should be able to beta it by the end of july.

Its werid that there does not seem to be much north-south compression on this one- (above)

Thanks for testing the game. I'm curious about allowing the track to become unlimited. Did this greatly speed up your expansion or did you notice any change in how fast you expanded out your rails. (And why did you change from having limited track? Was being limited in track too frustrating...or so...

Finally got this done over 4 weeks! Buliding over the terrian was fun. (See my next post) Lost of events to keep the player engaged. Tho, I've soured on the use of industry in this game. Limiting the the track building forces the player to buy indy instead. Thats y it took me 3 weeks to go thru the ...

Lore around here is Passengers from A destin to C. Can only travel directly from A to C. They cannot travel A to B then to C. Well explain this then: tmp_8931-Passengers694133707.jpg In riga's lavita map I had two mainlines meet in the middle of nowhere. So I plopped down a classification yard. Some...

Thanks, Every time I tried to build a solo Florida map I had delete because of the eye sores it gave me. Now I can build that map some time in the future.
