[Rails-devel] Question regarding Handling of Map Hex blocking in 1837

[Dr. M. B. <dr....@t-...>]

Hi,

the private companies in 1837 have the power to block access to their 
hexes to anyone but the owner and the companies that the owner is 
controlling, without the companies having to buy in the privates.

Currently the blocking hex state will be lifted when the private company 
is bought in by a major company.

The special ability of the privates in 1837 are twofold, they should 
lift the blocking (which they currently dont) and they should level the 
building cost (which they do).

So question to the group on how to proceed here ? Are there any other 
games out there with the behaviour of the privates alike to 1837 ? or 
are all other privates which do block hexes from the type of the 
1830-privates ?

I dont really see a way in the moment to temporarly lift the blocking of 
the hex during a major company action and have it reblock everything again.
So building  up a new map for the MapHexes that keeps track of the 
blocker ? And if that is preparing a tile lay ignore the blocked maphex ?

What do you guys think or did i miss anything ?

Regards,
Martin
