Can Anyone Figure Out How To Do This?...
I'd like to see settlers have the ability to build defensive walls in the same way they would build roads or fortresses. The historical precedent for this idea would be the Romans building Hadrian's Wall and the Anonine Wall to keep out the Scottish. Also, the Great Wall of China.
The reason I'd like to see this feature is that it would work in the same way that it did in ancient times: it would help defend borders against rival nations or barbarians.
Fortresses would be integrated along the wall to station troops. Military Units can move along the wall like a road (the walls were wide enough that troops could travel along the top of the wall).
Cannot build a road through the wall, must build it through a fortress. Units would take one turn to move on to and another turn to destroy walls, making it easier to defend than open terraine. Can be destroyed by bombardment. Would remove the need for the Great Wall of China wonder (which really makes no sense as is, being located in a single city, anyway). It would also increase the usefulness of bombardment weapons.
What do you think about this idea?
Is it even possible to create in Civ III?
