Player Money: 3, 4, 5, 6 players: 860, 650, 525, 450: Config in xml
-
Auction order: Außerfernbahn, Murtalbahn, Graz-Koeflacher Bahn, Mariazellerbahn (1), Kernhofer Bahn (2), Ybbstaler Bahn (3), Steyrtalbahn (4), Phymbahn (5), Salzkammergutbahn (6), Arlbergbahn, Semmeringbahn
- Are private companies with fixed income: Config in xml
- Count as certificates: Config in xml
- Cannot be sold: Config in xml
- Special properties enabled for companies of the owner: Config in xml
- Allow to lay a yellow tile on their hex for free, but counts as the standard tile lay (so extra=no): Config in xml
- Privates close at start of phase 5: Config in xml
- price = 20, income = 5, hex = E5
- Provide discount=20 for laying a tile on a mountain hex: config in xml
- price = 50, income = 10, hex = F16
- Provide discount=40 for laying a tunnel: config in xml
- price = 70, income = 15, hex = F20
- Allows to lay a bonus token on Graz (F22): increases value of Graz by 10. Bonus token remove at start of phase 5: config in xml
- price = 170, income = 20, hex = F4
- Comes with 20% of Vorarlbergbahn (VB): config in xml
- Closes as soon as VB runs it first train => this is new!
- price = 190, income = 25, hex = E23
- Comes with 20% of Suedbahn (SD): config in xml
- Closes as soon as SD runs it first train => this is new!
- Minor company (single certificate), cost 150: config in xml
- Two train max: config in xml
- Two stations max: config in mxml
- Always share revenue: config in xml
- Can only run "+"-Trains => define a RevenueModifier, as other companies can own all type of trains
- No train obligation => no forced selling: config in xml
- Only act on region map => by definition of home hexes: config in xml
- No mail contracts => mail contracts are new anyway!
- Merge to local (public) railways: Either voluntarily in Phase 5, or enforced in Phase 6
- After start of phase 5 merger is possible if both owners agree.
- Only at the start or end of an Operating Round (e.g. always start and in addition at the end of OR before a SR)
- President certificate of the new local (public) railway always goes to the previous owner of the local private railway with the lower number
- President chooses if it operates as A,B or C local public railway
- Start price is 67, plus trains are discarded from the game, standard trains to the pool
- Tokens return to the company
- At the start of its OR the company chooses either Steyer or St-Pölten as home
- Unclear: "Sollte auf diesem Feld noch kein Gleisteil liegen oder nur ein gelbes Gleisteil platziert worden sein, darf sie das entsprechende Feld des Österreich-Plans mit den grünen Gleisteilen 14, 15 oder 619 ausbauen, bis dort ein Platz für einen Bahnhofsmarker zur Verfügung steht." Does this imply that always a green tile is laid? Or that it allows upgrading until green if it is required to have a slot available?
- After start of phase 6 merger is forced, if directors cannot agree (Q: when exactly, after buying the first 6 or at the start/end of the OR?)
- Forced merging merges in number order
- After all companies have merged, tiles of the mini-map are returned to game
This requires specific coding of the merger process.
- Public company with 2 50% certificates, start with 67 price on stock market
- May only own 2, 3, 4 trains that have been rusted: this is new!
- Identical to 1830 start auction
- Pass means out of auction (=> default for GameOption)
- Unclear: "Spieler links zum zuletzt agierenden Spieler erhält das Erstkaufrecht". What is the meaning of "agieren"? Includes Bidding and Passing?
- Only SELL, BUY: config in xml
- Both selling and buying keeps the SR alive: default
- For each certificate sold share price moves one cell down/left: part of the new stock chart
- No pool limit (except that director share): config in xml
- There are three bank portfolios: IPO (buying at par price), Pool (buying at market price) and Split Shares (buying at market price): Split shares work like buying from the treasury of the company in other games. Idea: Keep that in line and have split shares in company's treasury.
- Certificate limit per company: 60%, but only after share split: this is dynamic and has to be triggered, add!
- Par prices: 67, 72, 77, 82, 87, 93
- Companies float at 50%
- Home token is laid in first OR of that company, must(?) lay tile on home hex
- Full (100%) capitalization
- Each player can have a single (open) option purchase
- Buys 20% of a public company from Pool or IPO, but pays only for 10%
- The purchase price is saved, the other 10% have to paid for at that price
- As long as the option is open, no other share can be bought
- By paying for the remaining 10% the option is closed, this counts as the one purchase of the player for this turn
- Player is only allowed to sell the option in the next stock round (by standard rules), this closes the option
- Shares bought via option are converted to 10% shares during a split, however no compensation paid by the bank (as player has only 10%), this closes the option
- Shares bought via option are treated to be fully in players hand for price raises at the end of the SR
Option buying is a new element and has to be implemented.
Certificate Limit changes with number of companies with split shares. Thus a share split triggers a change of the certificate limit. This has to be added.
Companies 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8
Players
3 10 12 14 15 17 19 20 22 24
4 8 9 10 11 13 14 15 16 18
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
6 5 6 7 7 8 9 10 11 12
The stock market features a hexagonal structure. This is new and has to be added.
Possible stock price movements:
- Pay dividend => Move right (end of row, move diagonal up+right)
- Withhold => Move left (end of row, move diagonal down+left)
- Sold out at end of SR => Move diagonal up+right
- Each share sold => Move diagonal down+left
- Buys train from other company => Move diagonal up+left: this is new
- Sells train to other company => Move diagonal down+right: this is new
- Triggered by exceeding the "red" line on the stock market
- Existing certificates nominal is halved
- Players get compensated by the bank according to the current stock price
- Additional certificates are issued into the Split Section of the Bank (or Treasury) Implementation: This requires special coding, consider refactoring with 1856?
Possible actions during company turn:
- Collect income from mail contract (new, automatic)
- Lay Tile
- Lay Token
- Run Trains
- Distribute Revenue
- Buy Trains
- Buy Mail Contract (new)
Two types:
- Income of small: 10/20/30/40
- Income of large: 30/40/50/60
- Every company (except local private companies) may own one mail contract Implementation: Most likely as a special right
- permissive Upgrade: configure in xml!
- 3 hexes west of Wien: Track to Wien has to be continued: needs to be implemented as tile lay modifier (similar to 1880 bejing)
- Building track heading into gray hexes is allowed (continuation with tunnel possible): define gray hexes accordingly
- In addition to standard tile lays, costs 100 (Q: ignores terrain costs otherwise?)
- Not in hexes with large stations, otherwise on any hex
- Overlays other tiles, but no tunnel entry at sides with track connection
- Has to continue a track that leads into the hex (Q: has not to be connected to the network of the building company?)
- Two tunnels possible, but no crossing (Q: what about three tunnels: straight and 2 narrow curves?)
- Upgrading of tile still allowed, but no new track on sides with tunnel entry
Implementation:
- Tunnel lays are special tile (extra, cost=100) lays, however they require the definition of a "overlay" tile
- Two tunnels on one hex can be defined as (tunnel) tile upgrade
- There need to be specific coding to check the allowed rotations
- costs are 40, 100: configure in xml!
- additional token of local (public) railways is 50: configure in xml!
- homes have one slot reserved: check in map and configure accordingly in xml!
- St Poelten and Steyr (home of local public railways) are blocked until the first operation of all local public railways: this requires a trigger to unblock Remark: The local public railways have to be exempt to the block, as they lay a token there in their first round of operation...
- Plus trains: Run the number of large station and an infinite number of small stations: configure in xml!
- Orient express: can skip stations: configure in xml!
- Paris and Konstatinopel: only Orient express has access: RevenueModifier!
- Custom marker: Deduct 10 from revenue: configure as (negative) RevenueBonus in xml!
- Local (private) railways: 50%/50%: config in xml!
- Other (public) railways: payout or withhold
- Revenue of all shares in IPO/Pool/Treasury (Split) is kept by the Bank: config in xml!
- From phase 3 on train buying between companies allowed: config in xml!
- Train buying/selling changes stock prices: see above, new!
- "Plus" trains can only be operated by local private railways: has to be implemented as a RevenueModifier!
- Local public railways operate (previously rusted) renewed trains. Those trains are exclusive to the companies (and vice versa): this is new and has to be implemented correctly.
- All companies with a route (except local private railways) need a train: config in xml!
- Can buy any train available, purchase price cannot exceed nominal value, no money remains in treasury
- President uses own money, has to sell shares. No president changes allowed: config in xml!
- Bankruptcy possible => game ends.
- Standard phase effects: Tile colors, Trains (trading allowed, limits, rusting), Privates (buying allowed, closing), Number of ORs => configure in xml
- Only one 4 train in bank before a SR: remove that train from bank
- Local railways merger at phase 5 (voluntary), phase 6 (forced)
- Bank runs out of money
- Full set of OR is played: config in xml!
