Which things should/could be animated? #63

We have the train movement so far that is animated. What other parts of the game should/could be animated?

A shimmering effect on the water would be good. Also perhaps smoke/steam from the trains. I mean, it depends on how far you want to take it.

Part of the charm of the original Railroad Tycoon series was the animations when e.g. a train arrived for the first time at a station. However that's adding a whole other level to the animation requirements.

Sounds good. Some "busy producing things" effects on the industry tiles would also be nice.
