Re: [Rails-devel] Info: trains and phases

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

Rails doesn't enforce any track constraints, so it doesn't actually
know when a company has reached its destination, but it's worth
knowing that in 1856, there are a set of alternate destinations listed
in the rules.  I'm not sure what the best way to cover this might be
-- perhaps a free-text field for "house rules" that cover any
constraints a group of players might have agreed to, for handy
reference.

EV: Once it becomes relevant, this could be configured in XML with a game
option.

(Anything that Rails cannot be expected to enforce, but that players
might want to have available for reference, like "you must be able to
run on the new portion of track laid", "no sales of unoperated
companies", etc., or even something as seemingly minor as "no
out-of-band game discussions".)

EV: except the last one, these items might be added to the Info menu one
day.
The "no sales of unoperated companies" and similar parameters are already
known, so that wouldn't be a big deal.
