The question of railways

[ciders]

0,5BP and $1 can also expand railway network by 20km of heavy standard/broad gauge, 40km of light/meter-gauge or 100km narrow-gauge railway track.  This cost include the rolling stock.

This is the only rule, who speak to the construction of railways. And it's an old rule.

Railroads are an less important aspect of the game than the construction of ships, but they have a not insignificant interest, for the movement of the armies, the economy... Railways are one of the keys of industrial revolutions too, and participate to the growth of the economy of minor powers.

So, my question is relatively simple. Can we always use this rule or elaborate a new rule ?

[Guinness]

The mods have it on our agenda to discuss railways rules, but have not finished that discussion as yet. In many cases, railways simply appear as the result of IC construction. That does not cover the construction of railways for purely military purposes, so that's what we need to work out.

[ciders]

I see. Thanks for the information.

For the moment, can we always use the rule ?

[Guinness]

I'd say PM the mods and we'll figure it out, based on your specific circumstance.
