Those all sound fine. There's a few different games that deal with each
of the things that are in 1856 and 1870 (e.g. nationalization, price
protection, etc), so at some point we'll need to implement those.
Though, it certainly doesn't have to be the next thing we tackle.

A few months back, I picked up a copy of 1861, so I was considering
adding in the map and tile counts for it. Due to its complexity, I don't
expect us to be implementing it until we've tackled many of the simpler
games. ;-)

I also have been thinking about building out the website area that
Sourceforge gives us. Now that we've got a nice looking map display,
sticking some screenshots up there might be a good way to show the
progress we're making.
