Re: [Rails-devel] 1830 The Coalfields

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

I have done a first step towards implementing 1830 Coalfields. The map and
tiles have been done, and the N&W company shares have been added. No other
changes so far.

A basic game can be played, but don't expect adherence to the special rules
of this variant yet.

 

To allow displaying non-numeric tile names ("BA"and "G17" in this case), I
have changed the external IDs to strings rather than integers.  Reminder:
these external IDs are (or should be) displayed everywhere in Rails, except
on the tile images which (after zooming in) show the internal tile IDs (2061
and 1717).

 

Erik.

Train obsolescence is already implemented in 18AL, so shouldn't be too
difficult.

Here is a change list for 1830 The Coalfields.  Most of the changes will be
easy to implement, but the following might not?
-Train obsolescence (run one more time after rusting)
-Coalfields access rights (see #2 below)

I could help by generating the SVG files for the new tiles and map hexes,
unless there is anything special about them(?).

The full list of rules changes is here:
http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/11477/the-coalfields-zip

I took a Coalfields map and placed stars on all the hexes that have changed
from base 1830:

The hex numbers are consistent with the ones in Rails.

1830 The Coalfields Change List

1. Various map changes (see pdf above that shows all the hexes that have
changed)  
2. New Coalfields hex (L10) that operates like a pass through offboard, but
requires a "Coalfields access rights" certificate. This may be purchased by
a connected company during that company's track building phase. 
3. Additional company, Norfolk & Western (N&W) starts in L16. C&O home is
moved.
4. Additional trains: one 4T, one 6T, two 7Ts (7Ts cost $710, available upon
first 6T purchase), diesels repriced at $900 or $750 with a trade in.
5. Cert limits raised by one at all player counts
6. Various changed tiles (tile manifest:
http://www.diogenes.sacramento.ca.us/18xx_net/tiles/1830.htm, then scroll
down a bit for Coalfields)
 -Remove two #53 (green "B")
 -Add two green "B", same as #53 except two city spots
 -Remove two #61 tiles
 -Add one #997 http://www.diogenes.sacramento.ca.us/18xx_net/tiles/e997.htm
 -Add one #BA http://www.diogenes.sacramento.ca.us/18xx_net/tiles/e_BA.htm
 -Remove #62
 -Add #CF62 http://www.diogenes.sacramento.ca.us/18xx_net/tiles/e_CF62.htm
 -Add one #G17 http://www.diogenes.sacramento.ca.us/18xx_net/tiles/e_G17.htm
This tile upgrades a yellow double-dit in G17 only
 -Add two #57
 -Add one #14
 -Add one #15
 -Add one #63
7. Train obsolescence.  Rusted trains get one extra run and then disappear.
8. Optionally add $8,000 to the bank
