    Enable workers to dig canals???

    Would like to be able to join adjacent bodies of water, and create sea-shortcuts through land masses, where only 2 or 3 grids of land are in the way. Can't seem to be able to build adjacent cities to accomplish this, and canals would be more practical anyway. Can someone give workers the ability to dig canals, thus aloowing ships to pass through them?

    Thanx...

    that would be impossible with the current editor, or even with civ3, worker cannot change terrain, they can only build improvements, and there is no way you can make an improvement that allows ship on it.

        Panama would be the equivalent of a one-tile-wide land bridge with a city on it. Any canal longer than 1 tile is unrealistically long.

          Yeah, building a city serves the purpose if you're only spanning one tile...and I guess it wouldn't be realistic to make them any longer...but...~g~...it just sounded like fun...

          oh well...

            That depends on what scale you use. If we ever wil se an option as this ther should be an otion in the maps on how long they can be.

              the "logical" rule of thumb I've been using for scale is based on
              1 square = 30 miles

              this is based mostly on wishful thinking but a little bit on the average ancient/modern infantry unit (slogging on foot) can go about 10-30 miles a day depending on terrain.

              A tank unit on a road could go 30x9 (3 movement ticks x three road benifit) or about 270 miles in a day. Figuring in organizing, farting around and general army hurry up and wait stuff that sounds about right to me. Conversely a calvery unit could go the same distance which would mean they would be some pretty tired horses and guys with saddle sores where you never want saddle sores.

              Also looking for opinions here for a mod that is in the works (yet another mod huh? of using fast units (4-5 move ticks) for the later stages, probably air calv, or special forces types to represent being able to hit through enemy lines deep into the heart of territory. Any thoughts? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

              btw, don't look for the mod anytime soon, working on graphics, trying to get the little guys not to look like flattened blobs of matter. I think I'll corner the market on being the 'folk artist' of unit design. Mebbe make a bundle selling it to folks who figure if it looks like crud it must be art.
