Hy,

I want to disable railroads but if I deselect the make railroad ability in the editor (for the workers) in the game I cannot use the worker in automate mode or I cannot use the command "make road to" !! They can do anything normally but cannot go in automate mode and they cannot perform the command "make road to"!

Any suggestion for prevent railroads building during the game without loose automate and "make road to" commands for the workers?

Thanks ;):egypt:

Why would you disable rail? You could set the movement rate of rail to the same as regular roads. Sure, this means the workers would automatically build them, but it would be just like roads.

The prerequisite tech for railroads is, of course, Steam Power. Setting the prereq to something like Integrated Defense would probably do well to prevent them from being built.

That's incorrect, you cannot change the rail movement rate from infinite.

Was it in CTP that the limit was 10? I preferred that.

First: I leave only one tech and I make it as prerequisite for all civs because this is the better way to trap the game in the ancient age and this is my first scope: I assign at this tech all the ability that I want to be used in the game (I.e. the opportunity to trade maps, right of passage, etc. etc.)

And for the railroads well... in the ancient age nobody care of uranium... so i set uranium as prerequisite for railroads and then I uncheck uranium from the "possibile resources" af all terrains...

So NOBODY can build railroads without uranium

Uranium cannot be found nowhere...

And so NOBODY can BUILD RAILROADS !

This is an elegant solution... :D

you could also assign RR to a non-era tech and not give the tech to anybody.
