Railway of Fame!
Re: Railway of Fame!
sorry about the wait - i decided to change many aspects of the map entirely. for one, it's going to be a series of maps, not just one. two, it's going to be baised on J. P. Morgan (yes, i just said his name). three, it's not going to be a point baised system. and here is my fully revised version. (note: if you win gold, you get a hint on a new map that is going to be coming - it's also a code to prove that you got gold if you want to play the other map.

Re: Railway of Fame!
I am new at this. I tried downloading the file (twice) and when the download got to 2.61MB it bombed out saying the file was corrupt. I am using Windows 7, and I am using dialup.
What do I do and can you help?

Re: Railway of Fame!
It could be either a setting in your browser (you didn't say what browser you use) or a problem with your ISP/Internet connection.
The file downloads fine for me.
Can you download any other files over 2.61 MB?

Re: Railway of Fame!
I use internet explorer and I have downloaded quite a number of the other maps and other items from "Hawk & Badger". A lot of them were more than the 2.61MB. I will try to download it again after I log off the dial-up and re-initiate the connection. It may be my connection with my server.
Re: Railway of Fame!
I have tried most of the day to download the file with no success. I cleared all other programs on the computer, opened-up the firewall, and put the Hawkdaug site as a friendly site, removed the continous scan. I tried about 7 or 8 times and still when it got to the very last few MB's, it would say it completed the download. But when I tried to unzip (with 3 different extraction programs) it said the zip file was not the right format or the zipped file had a bad file within it.
Would it be prudient for you to send me an email with it attached?

Re: Railway of Fame!
Thanks Hawk for trying to accommodate me in sending the "Rail of Fame" map by email........But, for some reason, I did not receive it. Then I thought to try the local library. I was successful in the download of "Rail of Fame" and several others that I was trying to get. I have played the "Rail of Fame" and found it to be very interesting. I did not win Gold. I did win Silver with three AI companies left to merge, but did not have enough company cash to do it. All in all, I liked the game and will continue to play different plans to win. I am not one to use any of the cheat codes, it takes away all the compitition.

What? There are other games besides Railroad Tycoon? It doesn't seem possible.gismoskip wrote:... i also have been playing other games recently, so i forgot about you guys for awhile.

There are, but not as good of Railroading games though.OilCan wrote:What? There are other games besides Railroad Tycoon? It doesn't seem possible.gismoskip wrote:... i also have been playing other games recently, so i forgot about you guys for awhile.
Re: Railway of Fame!
lol. so is anyone happy to see me, or am I just going to get pointless (besides making me laugh) remarks about my posts? apparently this fourm is the only one that stays the same for more than 1 month.OilCan wrote:What?

it might take a few more days to get RT3 on my computer, and until then I will think of new ideas for my map (i'm gonna finish this one, yes I am going to finish it)
last note: I've gotten over the fact that most people use industries in RT3 when they're not needed, and now I understand why. i'm gonna give EVERYONE a big suprise as far as indusries in my new map - it's gonna make people's eyes bulge

Re: Railway of Fame!
nvm, I hate suspense, so I'll go ahead and tell you guys what it's gonna be. you know how there are different choices on sone maps - like one of them gives you AAA on bonds and other stuff, and another lowers the cost of indusries by 20% or something like that, and you have to chose between them? well, i just had the idea to do something like that - two sets of them. you can chose to be railroad based the first 5 years, or industry based - you can't do both. then after fire years, you can do ether. there will be advantiges to both - if you start out railroading, you will get 10% off all track and 10% off locomotives. if you chose industries, you get 10% off all industries and a A credit rating. and i want a mid-game choice too - a unique one, but i have no idea what it could be at this point.gismoskip wrote:lol. so is anyone happy to see me, or am I just going to get pointless (besides making me laugh) remarks about my posts? apparently this fourm is the only one that stays the same for more than 1 month.OilCan wrote: What?

Re: Railway of Fame!
maybe, but it'll still be tough. you're gonna need at least 100 million to complete the route - at it's cheapest - to get gold. and keep in mind - you only have 30 years. and half of it is hauling goods - 500 weapons, 2000 steel, 1000 manufactured goods, 5000 coal, 5000 iron, 5000 logs, and 2000 lumber. think you can do all that as well as 8 hard connections? think again. on easy it's gonna be hard - on expert - well, you BETTER have good luck.Gumboots wrote:Awesome.

by the way - RT3 is still not on my computer. lol. better fix that.

Re: Railway of Fame!
One of the common traits about boys around your age is that they think really big numbers are like ultra cool n stuff. So yeah I'm gonna make a game where you have to get billions and billions of stuff it's gonna be the most awesome game ever.
