[Rails-devel] Development Report for 1837 (based on Rails2.0)

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

Hi,

1837 can now be played until the FormationRounds for the Nationals.
Functions not yet finished: Discard Trains, StartRound for Nationals.

Checks need to be done on the Release of the 3G when the first 4 is 
sold. (but that would trigger the first FormationRound anyway)

The Merging of the Majors/Regionals (maybe they should be renamed to 
regionals but i fear theres lost and lots of code looking for the type 
"Major" ... that will also be a problem most likely for the nationals.. 
later on.

Checks in regard which train will be discarded if the Regional has too 
many trains have not yet been implemented should be easy in the next 
step  refining the merge code.
The forced merge (Shares sold out of  regional) is working, missing a 
visible announcement (can be seen in the game Report though).

If anybody would be willing to test the game after release of the next 
alpha, please send me your comments, savefiles etc.


Oh and one Tip, due to the amount of acting companies, you should most 
likely use the ORDOCKING-Profile while laying the game. Otherwise you 
might be having some problems with the UI.
Kind regards,
Martin
