Re: [Rails-devel] 1856 - Wrong Net Worth calculations showing in the Status Window

Indeed. Rails intends to calculate player worth at every point in time as if
the game would terminate at that very moment.

I just checked the rules on the Mayfair site. They say:

 

http://mayfairgames.com/mfg-shop3/rules/MFG0472-Rules-V1_0.pdf

 

"If the game ends before the CGR is formed, all companies with outstanding
government loans have their share values reduced by $10 per outstanding loan
held by that company."

Rails includes this in the worth calculation throughout the game.

You must be thinking of some other game.  1856 doesn't have such a
mechanism.  But unless there's a bankruptcy (which is very rare), 1856
won't end with any loans outstanding -- because when the first 6 train
is purchased, every company must either pay off all its loans, or merge
into the CGR.
