Infrastructure

[Rhyus]

So from what we have seen so far the railroad infrastructure has maintenance costs of goods, money and people to work on them. Also looks like it will be run like a business which is great. Now I was wondering if this will be the case for other types of infrastructure that will appear as the timeframe progresses. I am thinking of electricity specifically. I don’t know if water or telecoms would be good as well. But I like the idea of different infrastructure types been represented the same as railway. Well the important ones anyway. What do you guys think?

I think it would be nice but probably unnecessary. I imagine a few techs and events can probably cover this without having to implement the entire system.

We know waterways are represented, you need convoys for maritim trade routs and ports need workforce and supplies aswell. For electricity, it seems like this will be handled by the new Urban center building thingy:

The second production method very much looks like electrification. Tho we have no Idea what production methods are in detail.

If railway’s are going to represented like they are then why not electricity? It was just as important as railway.

By water I ment drinking water and sewerage. But I am not sure if this would fitnin the game’s timeframe.

The second production method looks more like gas lighting to me (and mass transit for the third). My knowledge of history is random so I can't remember if gas lighting was mostly finished in this time period or still underway.
