i think it should be a tech. u could have the ford motor company as a wonder, and have new units like a jeep, which could transport troops, transport truck, which could transport more troops and so on. it would add a lot to the game i think. tell me wat u think

i meanhow can u have mech infantry and tanks w?o knowing how automobils work?

Combustion and the wheel basically have it covered..

sure. I like the idea of land transports. Perhaps begin in the classical time, there should be horse carriage that can transports up to 2 units. Each carriage has only 2 movement point.

By the Industrial Age, the horse carriage can upgrade into a jeep, and offers to carry up to 2 units, and has 3 movement point. Then by modern age, this jeep can upgrade into a helicopter, and act so like in civ 3 when they can carry 2 units and airdrop them couple squares from the city.

I dunno ,with the addition of corperations this really should be added but it should be a deadline tech something after combustion ,the car brought about highways and the commercial viability of ,it also brought urban sprawl ,several industries poped up due to the automobile ,trucking ,taxi companies ,public transportation (there were trollies but not as extensive as public buses and taxi companies) several major corperations such as Ford , GM , Porshe not to mention the technolgical break throughs that have transpired due to several instances with the auto. For instance battery technology due to the oil crises in the 70s that transpired due to the demand of oil ,because of the auto industry. We wouldnt be comming up with alternatives of petrole if it were not the demand for oil ,due to the auto industry. The rubber industry would have never happend if it were not for autos much less the insuing techs of synthetic rubber and plastics
sorry this post is kind of everywhere.
