- Differences from 1830
- Corporations are either minors or majors; minors can convert or merge into majors
- Majors can be started in a Stock Round from Phase 4 onward (after the purchase of a 4-Train), but only in cities which are disconnected
- Loans are automatically taken when needed for train buying/track laying/paying loans
- Loans only give you $45 for a $50 value
- Trains can skip towns
- Tokens are based on price * hex distance as crow flies from the nearest token
- Merging other players corporations requires their permissions
- Ekaterinburg pays out $80 instead of $40 if the run includes Moscow (this is doubled by 5+5E and 2+2 trains)
- Corporations that cannot afford a train or loan interest get nationalized
- No president contributions for trains
- Minor corporations that have operated and become trainless due to rust at 4 & 6 get nationalized. All minors are nationalize at the beginning of phase 8.
- Major corporations can be nationalized due to the rust events at 4, 6, & 8
- Open Issues
- Tokens for nationalization are done in Price order followed by reverse hex order rather than Price order followed by random.
- Tile #639 (Moscow Gray Tile) has a reserved token slot for RSR, which is not shown on the tile. The RSR token is added to the tile when the tile is placed.
