Harbor question

[gunkulator]

I know that a harbor acts as a means of transporting resources to other continents. My question is: Does it also work for two coastal cities on the same continent?

In other words, if I smash all the roads/rails between two cities, is their still a resource link via their harbors?

[Mazarin]

yes, they also work for cities on the same continent

[Konquest02]

Yes, but you don't get the food bonus for coast and sea squares for the cities connected by road to the harbor...

What food bonus?

[PresidentMike]

Ordinarily, coast and sea squares produce only one unit of food. Harbors increase their output to two units of food.

This is why even rubbish cities in the Artic can be persuaded to grow. With the addition of the commercial docks and offshore platform, a coastal city can really produce stuff.

"commercial docks"

[Jamski]

Its in PTW, panag. They add +1 commerce in every coast & sea square. You should really get it, you know.

Oh, and you have a nice day too.

It's new in PTW, it gives you extra trade on coastal and sea squares. I'm not 100% sure though, it's only my first game on PTW and I have just discovered gunpowder. I think they appear later in the game.

Does the commercial docs do anything else than increase commerce on coast&sea?

[metalhead]

do anything else? Seems to me this is more than enough! They have made OCC much easier in the late game, seeing as the optimal city spot always contains several coast and maybe 1 or 2 sea squares.

[Jamski]

Before anyone asks why, this is beacause in an OCC, you really want to build the Colossus.

Sorry if I'm repeating a faq, but is there a list of what the differences are between regular CivIII 1.29f and the latest PTW?
