Re: [Rails-users] RAILS 18EU Program Error

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

Paul,
 
Thanks for reporting.
 

I've noticed a couple other errors in 18EU (playing several 2-player
solitaire games).
 
- It lets you merge a minor into a newly forming company even if there is no
track connection. 

[EV] Track connection awareness for tile and token laying has only recently
been implemented, and not all cases have already been covered. 
Certainly connections required for merging aren't recognised yet. 
Fortunately this omission does not prevent you from playing according to the
rules... :-)

 
- I had a company I think with a 5 with a Pullman, and had another company
buy the 5 train off - the Pullman remained on the company, and even ran for
revenue. 

[EV] Correct. I have fixed this, the Pullmann is now discarded. This fix
will be in the next release.

 
- Usually it starts a new tile play connecting with existing track, but
sometimes I've noticed it doesn't.  For example, in the hex 2 spaces SW of
minor 11, it starts off with the yellow city pointing north and south, and
lets you play it, even though it should be pointing sw-ne. 

[EV] You mean in Trieste? That's one example of a case that has not yet been
covered: laid tiles are currently only required to connect to *any* track
(such as the Trieste harbour), not specifically to track that has a route.
Again, for now you'll have to decide for yourself if you want to play
according to the rules.

 
It's a fantastic program in any case. 

Thanks!
Erik.
