[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7864999, member: 93670"] That will be good, I'd like to see a lot of the economic stuff I was hoping would be in mormisc in that. It makes a lot of sense for lightning rail routes to be structured a lot like how airlines use [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_hub']hub airports[/URL]* where you might walk or take a horse/coach to a nearby city big enough to justify a lightning rail stop & spend the night because there's only a 0-3 lightning rail stops a day with the next one being two days out for really ass end of nowhere stops, then take that train somewhere you can transfer to a sharn (or where ever) bound train. Something that becomes [I]extremely[/I] apparent if you start looking at the lightning rails lines in Rising though is that they pretty much only connect capitol cities & cities that happen to be close enough with basically[I](literally?)[/I] no [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_line']branch/spur lines[/URL] unless the gm drops them in or the players decide that becoming short line railroad tycoons will be interesting :D * busses & trains do too, but not to the extent they are visible beyond localish maps & trains aren't as significant a factor in travel as they were a hundred+ years ago [/QUOTE]
