Re: [Rails-devel] 1889: tile upgrades

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Aliza:
thanks for your test and your update. Two comments.

A) Tile 57 upgrades
I am a little surprised, because I thought that this is intentional. I think 
there are not many places, that cry for the straight city, but it allows some 
tragic tile lays. 
But I usually prefer tile manifests that only require visual inspection if one 
tile can replace the other (retain all connections and are of the same type), 
thus that change makes sense.

B) Tile 448 upgrades all green cities
Is that really true? How should that work. Tile 448 is a K brown tile. How can 
you place that on a green X (14)? Or the green windmill (13)? Rails would 
mark those upgrades as impossible, as not all connections can be maintained.

If there is agreement on A) I will fix that. For B) I would like to have some 
confirmation that I fully understand the implications.
