Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

Seems that I did it better on the second try. :-D This time I set the focus on "connect as much as you can" and - by the way - built some industires (mostly textile mills) and from time to time had a look on the AIs. The letter ones were not really a problem - if they didn't vanish by them...

Gave it a try (on normal) and went nowhere! Ok, I fulfilled the precondition to connect the cities required for a medal (but one year short only, 1879) and had taken over all companies by 1885, but there was no chance to get the "all cities connected" bonus and - also - it seemed that I fo...

Yes- I can! Did it just now within 66 years. The real challenge are the $100 million industry profits in one single year!
Enjoy the map ...

On my way to get a medal in each scenario known (by me), I hopefully started this one - after three years - under patch 1.06 once again ... and got the CtD (Crash to Desktop) immediately when hitting the OK button to create a company. Remembering some problems with Gilligans Isle, I tried a new star...

Due to the event "Civil war 1862 2" all stations, trains and tracks will be destroyed. However, based on the text presented, only the area around New Orleans should be concerned. For this reason, the event (i.e. the effects) should mark the "territories" radio button and select L...

No takeover and no message about winning or losing the scenario Same experiences by me! Played it just now on normal and fulfilled the Gold conditions after 17 years, but nothing happened at all. At short inspection by means of the editor showed, that - at least - the events triggering the winning ...

I fully agree with

I play RT3 for MY fun and not to beat or fight against somebody else somewhere on earth. Possibly, I'm too old ...

There is "a litte problem" with the final version: the introduction text shows as well as the events check for 200 / 400 / 600 LIP, but the ledger presents only (the beta) 100 / 200 /400 LIP as goal. That's - at least - somewhat irritating.

From my point of view the disassembly presented shows the contents of a (short) data section, not program code. (I was using assemblers in the 80's and I've never seen a valid sequence of assembly statements like this. )

Started 1870 on normal and got Gold by 1914. Unfortunately, I was too short for the wool (1077) and steel (384) bonus. Also, it seems that I'm not able (e.g. to stupid) to produce machinery.

Anyway, a good map.

Besides the problems mentioned within this thread: it's a great, great scenario! Got only 212 points (Bronze) on my first try due to "not exactly reading (and as a European idiot far away from "Gilligans Isle" very likely not really understanding) the messages". Anyway, I'll play...

Halloween is history - nevertheless, this map seems (and very likely also other maps seem) to have a problem with at least the locomotive selection. (Ok - it's an RT3 problem, not a map creators one!) The facts: Usually, I've installed any additional locos and buildings etc., so that I can play any ...

Only two short notes by an old software developer: I've made the experience that the use of old libraries in newer environments is increasingly problematic. If you e.g. use proprietary ActiveX components developed under Visual C++ version 6.0 (around 1995) including the corresponding old MS librarie...

Just did it on normal and got the Golden one by 1922. Had all cities connected by 1898 but completed the story without the boni for rubber (appearing in 1900) and iron.

No problems detected - good map, arop!

... and there are really no buttons "Add Effect", "Remove Effect" and "Edit Effect"? like in

Another way to stay fro some more years with XP is by using virtual machines, e.g. you can build an image - i.e. create a virtual copy - of your good old XP computer and run this one virtually on any Vista or W7 machine. I did this two or three years ago by using VMware Converter and Player.

Hello Railor
Welcome aboard and thanks for enhancing the European stuff concerning this great forum!
I contrast to you I'm focussed on RT3, even I've played RT1 and RT2 with great fun too. But who knows, maybe your coming new maps for RT2 will bring me back to the predecessor.

Due to a "personal hardware problem" (tennis elbow) I'm not able to play RT3 or any other games. But I'll give all these new maps a try each as soon as I can ... e.g. in some weeks.

As far as I know, there are no problems with this scenario. But - as a map created by Lama - it is a really hard one! I haven't been successful with it ... till now.

Uuuuuupppsss - Silver only? ^**lylgh That's really not what I expect when trying out a newly created map by arop. Hey, arop, you're slightly going to make better and better maps! (0!!0) Nevertheless, I can not see a sense in your usage of the AIs. Please, do not use them anymore (in this restricted ...
