Re: [Rails-devel] 1837 Revenue Calculation

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

Erik:
town or offboard does not matter as the node will be replaced by a 
bonus-node anyway.

Another good thing about setting name/id to "mine" is that this 
identifies the correct node(s) to replace (in the case of ZKB).
So for ZKB the definition of the tile should be a two-town tile with the 
correct town labeled as "mine".
