GrinnypHowdy pardners! It's time to head to the old west again for a heapin' amount of fun and time management. Yes, Westward 4: All Aboard by Sandlot Games is here just in time for holiday season activities! This sequel to Westward 3 continues the same style and premise of the previous two games: a casual simulation/time management set in the fictional Wild West. This time around the game captures the story of the railroads, the iron horse that tamed the west. Play as Anne or Henry Turner, a pair of siblings with a few problems on their hands, not the least of which is a disappearing father.

westward4a.jpgAs the game begins you choose which sibling to play, the rough-and-ready Anne or gearhead Henry. The first few scenarios are a basic tutorial which walk you through the control structure and set up the story. Pretty soon you will arrive at Turner Railroad, the place where your main city will be built. Their father, the man who built the railroad, has been gone for six months and the place is a disaster, as is the old homestead. Whichever sibling you are playing must first work to build a solid base from which to accomplish all of the other missions. Although there are a lot of quests contained in the Turner Railroad location, you will also visit many other places as you push to extend the railroad, encountering a myriad of obstacles and attempting to find out what happened to dear old dad.

The controls of Westward IV: All Aboard are basically all in the click of a mouse. Move characters around, set tasks, buy upgrades, and basically perform all tasks necessary with the cursor. Movement through the scenes is accomplished by scrolling as your cursor moves to the edge of the screen. Left click and drag a character to where you want them to go, or left click the person then right click the destination, it's all very simple and easily explained in the tutorials for those who have never played the game before. The views can change from a long, top-down bird's eye view to a lower-angled close up with the use of the mouse's scrolling wheel.

Although a great many scenarios take place in the Turner Railroad location, there are a multitude of other areas to explore, shown on a map as you move your railroad onwards. Each location has its own unique scenario and obstacles to overcome, whether it be bandits, kidnappers, poor terrain, or a mayor with very sensitive ears. Each new location increases your skill level and unlocks new buildings, upgrades, and other fun things. Take time to really explore each area, as there are also fun side quests involving hidden objects, buried dinosaur bones, and lots of other surprises. Just watch out for wolves. And bears.

And of course, as this is a casual sim, you must pay attention to resources at every turn. Gold is needed to buy supplies and blueprints for buildings, coal is necessary to keep the trains running, timber is needed to keep building, and of course there's food and water for your townsfolk. You also need to keep an eye on labor as well, as folks who don't have jobs will become upset and leave for greener pastures, damaging the happiness rating of your growing town.

westward4b.jpgAnalysis: Westward IV: All Aboard is a solid addition to the ever-increasing Westward pantheon. There's not a lot of change from Westward III, but why mess with a winning formula? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Of course, Westward IV offers new characters, new scenarios, new upgrades, and the same casual gameplay fun of its predecessors.

The graphics haven't changed much, but are still in the beautiful 3D style of Westward II and III. The mouse-controlled swooping camera angle is nice whether panning to see more of the terrain or coming in for a close up to watch the antics of your working townsfolk. Movie Western-style music and sound effects add a nice touch to the old west feeling.

It can really take a while for the game to get going in the beginning, especially as there is only one playing speed. As it is a time management you will sometimes sit back and twiddle your thumbs waiting for enough resources to accumulate to accomplish certain tasks. But eventually, like a locomotive gathering steam, the story begins to speed up as your town grows larger and you build farther and farther along the map. The little bits of dialogue your characters spout when you first start working them are cute, but after a few hours get a little wearying.

Still, you are looking at hours and hours of fantastic casual gameplay with Westward IV: All Aboard. Slow down and take the time to explore, and enjoy the wonder when you have a large, fully populated, functional town with a saloon, clothing store, and many other fun places. You could waste hours alone just watching your little people work without worrying about pesky things like goals and such. It's time to ride the rails and enter the wild, wild west!

    Does anyone know how to get rid of the last waster barrel in the rivers? Or get the keys for the 2 treasure chests?

    Thanks!

    Is this one hard? The one I did complete (#2) was overly easy and not worth the money.

    Reply

    In my opinion this is not very good (from trying the demo) and certainly not worth the $20 price either.

    Reply

    This one is significantly harder than Westward II, and better designed in my opinion. I have played it all the way to the end and there are a few bugs remaining that have not been fixed in Release 1.02. You might want to wait until Sandlot irons out those problems since one of the bugs can freeze the game and you are stuck without an older save.

    That said, there is lots to do in this version. Plenty of side quests and a bunch of secret quests and hidden items. If you like trying to get all the hats, for example, you will like this game. It also has the usual Sandlot humor as in:

    Fact: Cowpoke is a noun, not a verb.

    What do I do with the heavy stump I picked up in the main scene. (Turner Railroad?

    What do I do with the heavy stump I picked up in the main scene. (Turner Railroad>?

    There is a minor quest related to the stump. A guy shows up and challenges you to a wood splitting contest that you will lose if you use one of the logs he provides. Drop that big stump in front of him and he will fail.

    To get the scene you need three lumber camps, all upgraded to lumber mills, with at least one person working there.

    If you finish the game and get the carpenter trophy, the stump can also be carved into a sculpture and you get a trophy for that as well.

    I can't find any wolves for the fur trader quest. There are only deer, rabbits and rats. I can see there are wolves in a place I can't get to. I would need dynamite or a bridge to get there. Can't buy dynamite as it says I need to do the Rail Blockade quest and can't get bridges without upgraded lumber mill. Have used all my upgrade points.

    I am at the landlord loopholes part in the game. I just completed the side quest where one of the things you do is find the 20 hidden dynamite and 20 hidden irrigation tools.

    I've found all 20 irrigation tools and could only find 19 hidden dynamite. I'm afraid to complete the quest and go on because it might screw me in the end for not finding that last dynamite as far as the hidden awards that have to be uncovered.

    Does anyone know if there is a screen shot available anywhere for the location of the dynamite in this level?? Or does anyone know for certain if I skip finding that last one and move on in the game, will it cause me to miss out on an award or something?

    Cheese..

    In order to get cheese, you have to have a working cattle ranch. You can use the cheese to catch the big rat by putting three cheeses by its cave. You can sell extra cheese to the man just across the bridge. He'll buy anything.

    Reply

    Before you can raise buffalo you have to..

    Talk to the man with the two buffalo. He will tell you one of his buffalo has be rustled. You have to rescue the rustled buffalo and take it back to the man. He and the buffalo will leave. It's only after they leave that you can then take the goody boxes to the meadow where the buffalo were. It will take a bit of time before the buffalo shows up. If the buffalo are still in the meadow, it won't work.

    Good luck!

    Jane,

    You got the freeze that has happened to a lot of us.

    Here are some suggestions

    Go back to a save. Make sure your trains are running. Then before you go to the Great Race, make sure there are NO trains on your track anywhere. If there are none visible, then do a save at that point and go to the Race. When you go are done with the race and are still froze, redo again. For some reason a train on the track will freeze everything after the race.

    I have a problem with the quest 'defend the coalmine'. I tried to follow the walkthrough given here. For starters it says build a goldmine but in this quest you can't build a goldmine. Another problem is getting enough deputies, gunslingers etc. to defend the coalmines. At a certain point I ran out of them and gold and so I lose the coalmines. I don't know how to beat this one.

    Coalmines

    I made sure I had the doctors office and healthkit upgrade and bought 20 before I went to the coalmines. Then I just gave up on one mine immediately and put all my guys near the other one. There is gold you can mine by hand and you can build a market to sell your coal and stuff

    Noise Ordinance..

    This one is tricky. You need to set one of your citizens to work at the lumber camp. Take the other one with you. You have to watch the bandits and time your movements. Stay to the left of the screen, way left. Pick up things as you pass them. Once you get up to the TNT, set your citizen to work mining gold. Take your hero across the bridge and up to the gunslingers. Hire them. You will lose the first TNT no matter what. Buy another one. You may have to set the citizen to work at the market and sell wood to get the coal and gold. Buy the TNT and again watch the bandits and keeping to the left, make your way back. Do this twice more. Save after each successful trip. It took me three tries to make it.

    Look at the ground in front of the mine. You may need to irrigate the land first.

    Sell any surplus cheese, baked goods, and from your factories to the guy to the left of the bridge. Just have someone pick up the goods, drag them to the guy, and put them down. You will get money.

    Once the buffalo come back, build a ranch and click on the buffalo menu and you will have a buffalo ranch.

    Log Cutting Challenge

    • You need to have three up graded lumber camp.

    • A man will come in and ask you to a log splitting challenge.

    • He will ask you to bring him one of the three logs he has. Don't do it!

    • Bring your own log. I found mine up in the to right corner where I build the pea farm.

    • It looks like a gray stump. Take this one to him and you will beat him.

    • On the Build 3 menu, select the log and build one in the town.

    • Drag your hero on it to have him carve it.

    • Carve two different statues to get the trophy. It could take several attempts.

    Having trouble with the 3rd mission where you have to collect the coal. I've read that the mission is to collect 50 coal but mine says I have to collect 60 and I can only get to 57. Someone please help.

    Sarah,
    Be sure you dig up all the dirt piles. There is often coal in those. Also spin the scene to see if there is any coal hiding behind rock or trees that you can't see.

    Noise Ordinance

    You will always lose the first TNT no matter what. Set your hero to dig the gold. He can also pick up the gold in the little canyon. Set your town's person to work at the market. You can buy what you need. Hire the gunslingers. Buy the next TNT. Go across the valley and up the hill and to the left. Wait until the bandit moves then move down the next hill and to the left. Watch the bandits. Move only when they move out of the way. You may have to wait a bit for them to move. This one takes a lot of patience. Save game after each successful TNT.

    Reply

    I am at the Railway Expansion. May I know how do I open the gate of the bandits?

    Reply

    When you say, "on the hill" do you mean the ramp leading up to where the TNT guy is? There should only be a bandit there the first time your townsman tries to leave with TNT. After that, he should not appear there. Don't worry about waking the Mayor.

    If you mean the hill just before you get to the TNT guy (where a bandit stands near a tent), then you've got to stay absolutely to the left all the way from the TNT guy to the ramp on the North side of that hill. Stay close to the map edge posts.

    You can wake the Mayor 3 times before he blows a complete gasket and tries to shut the operation down. If you drop your third TNT at the railway tracks, and it's the 4th time to wake the Mayor, it won't matter, as it will be the end of the operation.

    Are you dropping the TNT in front of the railway tracks (where the red arrow is)? Because as soon as you do that, the TNT guy will have a pop-up over his head and you can buy another load.

    good luck, and keep trying!

    Oh, and don't forget, there's an artifact to collect near the river, far north of the marketplace.

    I"m doing the Railroad Bypass quest. I've cleard the railroad, laid the missing pieces of the track, cleared out the bandits. I can't figure out what to do next? It keeps telling me to "keep building the track segments to complet the rail" and "use dynamite and irrigation tools". There is one section of the track (in the little gorge near where the bandit camp was) that isn't complete, and I can't figure out how to lay that down.

    To get your citizen to drop the TNT, click on the citizen then click on the drop button on the lower right.

    The only differences between playing Anne and Henry are the main town. Even then, the land marks are similar.

    JIGuest, when you are at the red arrow, look at your characters actions box (lower right of character details--where the "build/Repair/Etc. are). In those choices, you'll see a hand that looks like it is "dropping" something. Click on that and you will drop the TNT.

    tcfarms,
    There is a really good walkthrough as well as help forum at sandlot games to help with this game. I'll try to answer what I know. Everytime I have played, the fishing guy comes just after the train starts arriving after the sibling arrives with the brothers. If you place your fishing hut before he comes, he may not come, I don't know about that. Sometimes, the mad hatter guy arrives during the middle of the game, but I have had him come almost at the end of the game.
    I've had the game freeze on me, too and had to shut down with the task manager. I know you can write to support at sandlot games and they will ask for a few things, then be able to tell you what is causing it. I just save my games often so that if it happens, I just restart the game and load it from the last saved. That is working for me.

    If you have used all the mines, then of course, you can not complete that quest. Just make sure when you start another game to leave at least one for the end of the game. I sometimes leave a gold mine for last.

    The 3 treasures are the rat treasure, fish treasure and dog treasure.

    Brandi,
    Cheese comes after you have the ranch with the cows and someone employed there. Sometimes it takes a little while for it to appear and then it will continue as long as you have someone employed there.

    HELP - I completed the Railroad Repo and when they return it says it is the Final Showdown and that everyone but the Hero will go to the other towns...but they don't actually leave. Something weird is happening because my screen is locked in place and I cannot move my hero (Anne)beyond the boundary of what is shown. Also the lower left area that shows the hero, hired guns, unemployed, buildings and citizens is unavailable. Instead of being in color, it is black and white and unaccessible to me. I see the little blue spots on the small map moving around and I can hear that normal activity is taking place (trees falling, people talking, etc.) but I cannot get there to do anything. Has anybody else experienced this? Is there anything I can do. I hate not to be able to finish the game.

    Reply

    I've read through several of the comments that were left before mine and I see others have had a similar problem with the screen locking up in the Final Showdown. The answer given to some was to make sure they had the new version 1.003. I checked and my version is "Reflexive 1.004" which would seem to indicate a newer version...but it still has the same problem. I do hope people still come to this site and give answers (especially boopbug, as she seems to know just about everthing.)

    I do have one more new problem. Since I couldn't finish the regular game, I went into the Sandbox to try to earn the Disaster Challenge trophy and the Railroad Challenge trophy. I was able to complete the disaster challenge and get the trophy, but I am having trouble with the Railroad Challenge. I have tried this three times already. Each time I successfully completed getting all five of the town goods at the train station in time, but it won't credit me with the fifth one, which is the Bakery Goods. It says the Bakery Goods is only available if at least one citizen skilled in farming is employed at the bakery. I did have one skilled farmer employed at the Bakery each time. The bakery does not allow more than one employee. The second time I tried I made sure the employee was skilled in both woodcutting and farming and that someone working at the woodshed was also skilled in both. That did not work either. The third time I tried I had two bakeries each employed by a skilled farmer...still no luck. Can anybody tell me what, if anything, I am doing wrong? Thanks.

    sanfaconbp October 3, 2011 7:57 PM

    KathyK,
    There needs to be a skilled farmer pick up the apples that the baker needs to make the apple pies. I've had the locked screen at the end of the game also, even with the newest version. The answer for me, I think, was to go to a saved part before the end of the game and replay it, making sure that I did not hire the railroad worker and I made sure I upgraded the railroad tracks before the game asks you to. There was a person that said that this was what she did also and it still froze on her. So, I've attached the solution that was posted on Sandlot forum, maybe that will help you:

    Some members are reporting problems with a train getting stuck in the train yard with coal processing clocking up well past the required 120 units and no further trains arriving. Here is a preventive workaround to use whilst we wait for the fix (but if you already have a stuck train - see further down this post).

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It apparently isn't just when reloading a game saved whilst train was in yard that this can happen - leaving the main town to the travel map whilst train in yard can trigger it on your return. I had completed the game (using latest version - build 3) but was still working on trophies - got the problem on return from a railroad repair or train heist. It has happened to some other members on return from an expansion town/the hostage rescue quest etc. and also when playing in sandbox mode although I am not sure which version of the game was being played in each case.

    So, before travelling away from main town or saving game (in either main game or sandbox mode), best to check the train yard.
    If high amount of coal processed e.g. 110/120 or even if very low e.g. 17/120 then train may be due. The amounts I've saved (or left) safely at range from 57 - 90 (probably a bit wider range would be OK too - just haven't tried it myself).

    Although there is no ETA on a fix to this yet, it is being worked on - see Kat's response (post #3) in this link from Games Support forum

    In the meantime, evidence around this forum suggests that the above workaround is an effective way to avoid this issue.

    For anyone who's already got a stuck train at the moment - in certain circumstances, it can be released by rail related incidents within your main town e.g. bandits destroying the track etc. Here is a link to one of the threads which discusses how to see if that could happen for you: Reversed!.

    Hope this helps . Also want to say 'Thank-you' to those members who provided this workaround in various threads .

    I've played through this game dozens of time though a year or two has passed since I've played. Since there is no way to clear saved games except to start with a new profile, I'm back to the Sandbox and am a little lost.

    The last time I played Disaster Challenge I completed it and received my trophy. It was uneventful. This time however, I've completed the challenge, I got the message saying so and there is a check mark next to the task in the list. I DID NOT receive the trophy. ?? Why not ?? I don't know. There is a red "X" next to the trophy in the list.

    I didn't see any requirements except to have 14 people and complete all 6 levels. I had 30ppl and completed all 6 levels.

    Same here--I'm often replaying this games, too! I love this series but I've learned to accept that it's just a bit wonky at times...I've learned to save often and to not save over certain turning points in the game until I'm sure they've been credited correctly.

    My only other guess is you lost the disaster challenge somewhere near the end? Could that be possible?

    Yes, Westward Kingdoms is the latest installment in the series. Unfortunately, it might also be the last unless Digital Chocolate, which now owns the Sandlot Games stock can be convinced to fund another. DC's focus seems to be more on social networking and iOS games, judging by the CEO's lengthy blog posts.

    I have my eye out for anything new that has the same rewarding sim/building/RPG mix that the Westward series has... so keep watching JIG. If something turns up, you'll hear about it here. ;-)

    Figured out the Hostage Rescue scenario (finally!) and downloaded Westward Kingdoms, so thanks for the info on that game.
    I have another issue, though. I am trying to do the Train Race scenario--I gave the female bandit cheese and talked to Winston, but I can't travel to the next location. It says I have to upgrade my locomotive and build up my town, but after playing the same location for a couple days, how much building up am I supposed to do?
    How do I get to the next scenario on the game so I can finish it? Did I miss something somewhere? If so, how do I fix this?

    Hi jvt702,

    The two items are a carving LOG...

    You need to find the petrified piece of wood before the lumberjack comes to town. Then, when he challenges you to a chop off, bring the unchoppable log to him. He'll lose the challenge and you'll get the carving log (to which you can drag a worker to make a statue).

    and a TOWN CLOCK...

    I don't remember how to get this one. But... look through your list of quests and see which isn't completed. That's probably the one that gives you the clock. Keep an eye out for visitors to your town and what they are asking you for... help them out and you're rewarded.
