I really like this game.  It has pretty good AI, good enough that it took
me several tries before I could beat it.   It's up there with Alien Legacy
as my favourite "hiddem gems" of the DOS PC game era.  I should go back
and play it sometime, as it looks it's been 9 years since the last time.
I'm also a fan of the 18xx board games, though I never never played the
1830 board game, and it's been close to two decades since I've played one.
