Magrails... Everywhere

[VCrakeV]

It really bothered (after I first got the game) that there was no late tech game tech for sea bridges of the like. We also have the same rail dilemma of no extra production for cities separated by water. Why not kill two birds with one stone?



A later tech might allow the player to build magrails on water, as well as canyons (there'd have to be floating workers in a similarly late tech). It's mostly a matter of flavor and setting than gameplay. What do you guys think?

Agreed!

And we apparently already have roads in water, just limit them to mag rails and add the underwater tube graphics.

I was actually thinking of rails sticking out of the water, but that sounds cool too. ^_^

Either way would be good. Especially if they also allowed land units to move over water fast (even if they were still "embarked" in terms of combat.

I'd like that, it would feel like a fun way to really develop a water colony.

One argument for having them underwater is: how are ships to cross over them otherwise?

Yeah, yeah, not an actual issue, but here, we have the rule of cool and plausibility saying they should be underwater!
