[Rails-devel] PublicCompany_1856

[Erik V. <eri...@hc...>]

It is interesting that, just having had a discussion about Company types,
I'm for the first time hitting the need for a game-specific company
subclass. 1856 public companies need (at least) two per-company attributes
that, I believe, are unique to this game and should not be included in the
generic PublicCompany class:

- the next available train from the bank when the presidency was bought
(which determines the company capitalization rules at floating time and
later), and

- the amount of treasury money held in escrow by the bank in some cases.

So I think I'm going to create a subclass PublicCompany_1856 to hold these
values.

The destination hex and the destination-reached condition are common enough
to be put into PublicCompany itself (the hex has in fact always been there).
Setting destination-reached will be a menu action, for the time being.

Comments?
