Is it possible to put railway lines on to map , station as well ?

What would you want them to do? Or would it just be for decoration?

Cheers

Possible idea ....

Railroad Tracks leading into a railway station that, when the train arrives, generates a reinforcement unit?

The Railway Station could be a VP. When taken, it disables one sides reinforements?

Also, the other player could park a tank on the railroad tracks and disrupt supply ...

Perhaps all of this could be thrown into a strategic scenario design ... The possibilities are endless!

- Merr

EDIT : .... After SL is released, then commando missions (perhaps French Resistanse missions?) can be one type of scenario.

I asked because wanted to make a map on a mission my dear dad carried out in holland at a place called dieren near arnhem , the railway line was
used as way in.But I must say Merr,s idea,s sound exciting

OK - well, off the top of my head, you would need to:

+ Make a new tile set (basically a folder - copy an existing one for an easy start)
+ define a tile which is railway lines
+ define a terrain which is rail (again, add to an existing terrain.txt file)
+ define a unit type which is rail (in terrain) and any rail units (in your custom squads.csv)
+ set the cost of any terrain other than rail too high to allow movement of rail units (in terrain)

Then you have a train unit which you can move around (provided you start it off on the railway ).

Thanks for that pip but well out of my league would have to visit wizard of oz for a brain , just a beginner.I was hoping that someone might have already done the train track.

Fair enough. It's a little involved for sure. Interestingly, Iain has a fantasy of using the engine to build a railroad game .
