[Rails-devel] More about track-laying annoyances

[John D. G. <jd...@di...>]

I discovered this today from a game of 1835 in Rails 1.5.3.

Given track connecting M2 - Schwerin delta - NE Hamburg - Kiel - M6,
   M2 will be shown a possible build on the "dit" hex NE of Schwerin.
   M6 will not.

I suspect this is because the tile-suggesting logic assumes that a route which
visits the same hex twice (as the route from M6 to Schwerin visits Hamburg
again) is not considered a legal route for laying tiles.

I believe that is correct only in 18EU, so maybe it was written for that game.

At any rate it is one of many track-building rules which needs to be able to be
switched on or off for different games.
