 <body>Martin: 
it seems the easiest solution is to adjust the method that checks if the Private blocks the hex to be parameterised with the operating company. 
There you are able to check if both private and operating companies have the identical owner. 
This avoids to block or unblock the hex itself. 
In the XML definition of the private you could add something like exceptOwner in the XML tag that defines hex blocking. 
I think it is simple and general enough to be included into the main code without requiring further examples.

    Hi,<br/>
    <br/>
    the private companies in 1837 have the power to block access to their<br/>
    hexes to anyone but the owner and the companies that the owner is<br/>
    controlling, without the companies having to buy in the privates.<br/>
    <br/>
    Currently the blocking hex state will be lifted when the private company<br/>
    is bought in by a major company.<br/>
    <br/>
    The special ability of the privates in 1837 are twofold, they should<br/>
    lift the blocking (which they currently dont) and they should level the<br/>
    building cost (which they do).<br/>
    <br/>
    So question to the group on how to proceed here ? Are there any other<br/>
    games out there with the behaviour of the privates alike to 1837 ? or<br/>
    are all other privates which do block hexes from the type of the<br/>
    1830-privates ?<br/>
    <br/>
    I dont really see a way in the moment to temporarly lift the blocking of<br/>
    the hex during a major company action and have it reblock everything again.<br/>
    So building up a new map for the MapHexes that keeps track of the<br/>
    blocker ? And if that is preparing a tile lay ignore the blocked maphex ?<br/>
    <br/>
    What do you guys think or did i miss anything ?<br/>
    <br/>
    Regards,<br/>
    Martin<br/>
