What factor(s) should be used to limit rail movement? (Time out:0 days after 27-01-2005, 00:17)
	No free rail movement - it should cost at least a fraction of a movement point (for instance 1/6 or 1/10)
	No rail bonus in enemy territory (like Civ 3 model)
	Rail bonus should only apply when travelling between cities
	Disallow tanks, cavalry and other heavy units from rail movement bonuses
	Utilization limit for railroads - only a limited number of units can get rail bonus from a square each turn
	Monetary/resource cost for railroad maintenance
	Monetary/resource cost for railroad usage
	Other limitation of rail movement, please post comment
	Skip the concept of Railroads
	Banana trains

? I'm unaware of suggesting anything different. However the Bessemer process was created in 1855.

The Newcomen steam engine dates from the early part of the 18th Century, Watt's improvements from the latter part of the 18th Century, and the Stockton-Darlington line opened in 1825, and the Liverpool to Manchester line 5 years later.
Somebody said coal is needed for steel as an explanation why coal is needed for RR. When Proteus said the advance "Steel" is 3 steps after "steam engine" you replied, "How strange- given that steel preceded the development of the steam engine."

On another angle, I've been thinking that it is also possible to use animal power to draw loads on rails. Nowhere near as efficient as mechanical propulsion, but still better than unpaved or cobble roads.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

than you for your support GeoModder

until something else comes up

rail cars is playable for me

a few more ideas on rail cars:

1. no need for a engine unit (automatic)
2. capturable...but you need the appropiate era tech to operate
(if you are still in medival era..no can run)
3. scaleable carring capacity, ie 1 (or more)gold per unit loaded
so if one wants to send 20 units, pay 20 gold
Do we really need to have a whole train of 8 capacity cars?
Having a fee may keep the abuse down?

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Sorry Molly.

Platypus,

I think both rivets and welding deserve a tech advance each as they both changed national navies forever at least.

Steel changed, alas the governments didn't- Think on it everyone.

Dis,

Arc-welding is later, I reckon steel is enough as a discovery?

Think of it this way: A certain famous Yank was trying to get rich, met another who was already: His choice words were roughly: "design a gun that can kill stupid Europeans when fighting each other more quickly", he did: it was called the Gatling gun, his invention helped slaughter fellow Europeans in WWI in a stupid war.

Franz Ferdinand?- great band, shame about the bloke and the war us Europeans had to fight due to him.

The Gatling gun was almost as good as a GPMG in the modern British army, but only one is worthy of a tech-leap.
