Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum

I got gold with 2.5 years left to run! woot! Connected Prussia last, bought rights while paused and then built a quick connection across to madgeburg, still while paused. The game gave me the win immediately. I did run a couple of extra months to check the 10mil loss on the CBV didn't drop my person...

Something else I should have explained: Grain is one of those resources that are demanded by houses along with Produce, Coffee, Sugar, Rice and in the earlier times Oil and Coal. This is on top of the demand at the Bakeries. The effect of this is that each city demands some Grain because of its hou...

This is awesome news...

So I restarted, on hard, no map reload just one go and play with what is there... Rail only start as nothing really tasty in Hanover. I've connected holstein, Oldenburg, mekelburg. I bought a brewery in Breman and the lumber mill in hanover, the mill does fine... nothing else wants the logs. Now the...

Hey all,

Did/have any of you guys every played a game called Railroad pioneer? It's just dirty cheap on steam and was wondering?

All advice and discussion is welcome. There are three grain farms, two feed into Bremahaven. One to the east, one to the north east of the city. The third is south south west of Hamburg, it's cargo is heading there at the moment, but it is SNE of Bremen and only a smidge further away. The bakery is ...

Thank RoR! Good advice there but I am now torn between my desire to persevere with my mess up and see if I can at least win bronze, or just restart and enjoy! Replay ability is high with this game! If I do carry on I think I will buy the brewery that has poped up in breman, and bulldoze the bakery i...

Ok so I'm having trouble with this map in 1.05. I fear I've made a big mistake and will have to restart my current attempt, one lives and learns lol! My first big mistake was to start in Hanover. It was the only start with an advantage rather than a disadvantage, but one has to pick before you can c...

I did intend to come back and put up an edit that my post was in haste! Often I have time to think about what I want to do (e.g. install TM) but not actually do it, and so I sometimes post questions about problems I anticipate rather than have actually experienced! The documentation for TM talks of ...

This thread is about the stand-alone scenario called "Germany". I don't know of a dedicated thread for the campaign chapter entitled "The State of Germany", although it features in the thread called "Trouble with Germany" (http://hawkdawg.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=23&...

Hi all, I'm trying to set up Trainmaster on my 1.05 install. I copied my 1.05 install from steam and replaced the RT3.exe with a 1.05 no-cd one so that it wont try to find steam or the cd. This works on steam for running RT3 1.06. The Trainmaster readme in the zip file says I need to have installed ...

That is not the briefing I was given, it was about connecting a number of German states and PNW: http://i653.photobucket.com/albums/uu260/MoridinUK/rrt3-1.jpg Is that caused by running it in 1.06? I had no idea that 1.06 wouldn't run the scenarios properly.. I shall have to try to get a multi instal...

*!*!*! I wasn't even thinking abut the default maps. ^**lylgh You're right though. The event is wrong. Germany.jpg Do I need to manually fix this before trying to play the map? I'm running 1.06! Edit: yes I do and that was much easier than I thought! Edit again: there is no mention of avg mph for f...

That's some cool info! So routing... I keep toying with whether it is better to run trains on two stops, back and forth, and let cargo move one station at a time, but I feel this is wrong for frieght? While passangers will get on a train that allows them to make a connection to their destination, ca...

boo...

Can I grow them? and is it simply delivering cargo that is in demand or specific amounts of each type before the city will grow?

Yes. Hauling stuff away will gradually increase the price for said stuff at the point of origin. That means the industry profit will increase, but the rail profit will decrease (unless you find another higher demand point to haul to). So the industry gets paid when the goods leave the industry and ...

:)..

Ok so another quick question, how does industry profit work? OR am I still simply over thinking it?

My question being does the industry make more if I haul it's produce to a high demand location, I know I make a tonne more on the shipping part of it, but does the industry also?

Hi all, I'm new and looking for any of your tips on how to get Industry working for you, what to look for in good buys and when to buy. I'm also interested in how the goods move about without rails! So far I got these awesome suggestion as a starter: !!howdy!! Welcome! Hawk's suggestion of Oilcan's ...

Thank you both for the welcome and the help! :) I know I'm late to the game but as I said, I don't think there is a later game that fits the same box....

Railroads! Just did not do it for me...

Or have I missed a game somewhere?
