Get Rid of Roads and Railroads!

I ALSO think terrain should affect movement EVEN with roads/RR etc , even a Railroad has to go over some slopes and twists around hills, slowing it down further than hills. RIVERS there shuld be a penalty for crossing rivers, just takes 2 MP's to go on or off a river between nonriver tiles. Unless theres a bridge.. otherwise youd need barges or maybe ponttoon bridges to cross.

Above suggestions certainly complicates the game-rules for railroad-travelling, but does it really add more FUN to the game? I say, honour the KISS-rule (Keep It Simple Stupid). Choose between fixed RR move-radius (default) or infinite RR-moves through the Rules.txt files.
