Other than the colour and the late, or early or no activation at all ? 
No. I am pretty sure that the run determination algorythmn will adapt :)

Do you by chance have an example ? :)

I do think so too, thats why i was asking, so one can avoid working with 
"hardcoded hexes" but rely on the type.

Yep will be pretty much necessary i am afraid.

Antscd:
I was thinking about setting up the mountain hexes that can be tunnel as 
cities with the value of 0 (or like Birmingham in 1851 as unacessible) 
and links running from the edges to the virtual city. Does rails 
recognise this setup and will not get confused if we place the tunnels 
(straight or curved links) over the city ? Any insights ?
