## Description:
v25 meta update:
- Trade ship spawn rate is determined by number of ports players has and
total number of tradeships on the map
- Train spawn rate scales hyperbolically with number of factories owned
by player
- Factory & Port share the same early unit discount (eg building a port
makes the factory more expensive), this is to encourage more
specialization: become a naval economy or land based economy.
- Trains spawn from factories and arrive on cities
- Trains only give gold on cities
- Trains give 50k gold for allies, 25k for nonallies, and 10k for self
- Large players are given a 30% speed/attack debuff in sigmoid curve
- Reduced attack bonus for large players
- Nerf bot gold production from 1k/s => 500/s
- Nerf bot max troops

During the play test, trains did not produce enough gold. So increase
gold, and give 4x bonus for allies.

## Description:
This update encourages alliances by modifying how train-based trading
works. Trading is now restricted to allied networks, and allied trades
offer better rewards than self-trades, incentivizing cooperation.
Changes:
- Train destinations are now limited to stations owned by the player or
their allies.
- Delivering a train to one’s own station grants 4,000 gold.
- Delivering a train to an ally’s station grants 5,000 gold to both the
sender and the receiver.
This system encourages players to form alliances, especially with
factory-focused players.

network
- When a city is built near a factory, it is connected to the rail
network
- All structures behave the same when a train stops: to be defined

## Description:
Add a rail network to handle train stations/railroad between structures.
Changes:
- `RailNetwork` is responsible for the train station graph. Use it to
connect new `TrainStations`
- A `RailRoad` connects two `TrainStation`
- No loop possible in the rail network
- Train stations handles its railroads
- Added a layer to draw the railroads under the structures
#### Clusters
- To speed up computations, each `TrainStation` references its own
cluster
- A cluster is a list of `TrainStation` connected with each other,
created by the `RailNetwork` when connecting the station
- Train stations spawn trains randomly depending on its current cluster
size
- A `TrainStation` decides randomly of the train destination by picking
one from the cluster
#### Production building:
- Added a factory which has no gameplay impact currently. _To be
discussed._
#### Train stops:
- When a train reaches a factory, it's filled with a "cargo". The loaded
trains has no impact currently. _To be discussed._
- When a train reaches a city, the player earn 10k gold
- When a train reaches a port, it sends a new tradeship if possible
- If a destination/source is destroyed, the train & railroad are deleted
too
