Bridge ?

[Mirada2000]

Why can one make bridge?

[Dimorier Maximus]

I don't know if this is or what, but can you explain a little more?

[Mirada2000]

why one cannot join 2 continents with a bridge

[CivanatorCFC]

If we could have bridges it should be a limited distance, or the AI will build a bridg from one side of the map to the other

[Mirada2000]

with a limitation of 3 slots
it wants himself a realistic game and one should be able to make bridges then in wood in stone

Actuly you can with v1.29 but it does not work right, you can't move ground units on them.

Accualy, one tile is only 10 square miles, so three tiles would only be 30 miles across.

lol. That means in marla singers world map the trek from manhattan to the pacific is 210 miles, and britons thickist point is 40 miles across.

Yah, a 'real' map of the world would be HUGE & wouldn't be playable off of the worlds most powerful supercomputers.

How does that work? Like in Civ1? I remember back then, when you could actuvate a settler in a boat, and make it build a road...land units couldn't use it though...

If you give a road bonus to watter you can build roads on them, not sure if you can use a worker I think you have to give the build road ability to a boat.
In CTP you could build Maglevs on watter and move units acrostd them.

I like the idea of bridges but not to join two continents. Am I the only one that gets irked that I lose a whole movement point crossing a river even when there is a road. Why can't we simply assume that if you build a road over a river then you build a bridge over the river?

I don't want to have to wait until railroads to have this feature. BTW while were at it I want to be able to change the movemnet rate for railroads as well. Having unlimited movement ruins the strategic aspect of the game. I would prefer to have RRs give five times movement points or something like that.

Don't bridges come with Engineering?
