Two ideas

[raybaudi]

Hi.

Finally paying up a visit to the good ol' forum. Life happens, so I tend to put SRU aside until I can finally pick it up again. No hards feelings, though, it's an amazing game and I keep advertising it among my coworkers and friends at any chance I get.

I know further grand development seems stagnant (not to say abandoned), but perhaps these two ideas could be somehow incorporated?

a - Trade routes? Maybe choke points which would severely affect a region's economy, provided the point is being administered by a hostile region?

I mean, historically, Italy would have probably never joined the war, should Gibraltar and Suez had been autonomous or in friendly hands...

b - Railways increasing land units speeds? My uneducated guess suggests me it wouldn't be that hard to implement. Some sort of Merchant Marine land units? The difficult part would be at following a fixed route given the rail trail.

Just humble ideas.

Bonus - Is good ol' Ruges fella around?

Thank you,

Regards,
