[Rails-devel] 1826 support , was Re: Train management & dual trains

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

it is not too bad and should be doable: My tasks should not be the bottleneck, 
at least I hope so.

H-trains:
a support of H-trains is easy to add, as the hex distances between nodes is an
attribute of the graph edges.

TGV:
a simple application of a RevenueModifier, as it simply requires to run the 
TGV trains separately from the other trains.

Reaching Destinations:
Main issues here are to have a  trigger that starts the connectivity check 
after each change of the map and the implementation of the effects.
Checking the connectivity itself on the network graph is easy.

How about the merger into the SNCF and the loans? Are the rules used in 1826 
fully compatible to comparable games (1856)?
