Are combat engineers (military units that can build improvements) possible?

[korn469]

I was wondering if anyone had created military units with a limited menu of terrain enhancing abilities? (like forts, roads, and forest chops for example)? Is it possible to limit units to only certain terrain enhancement? Can the AI cope with these units? What have you learned so far?

It is possable to add - just do it in the xml (copy the worker functions into the right place from the worker).

I'm not sure about the AI. You'd probably have to set worker in the AI profiles... but the unit might become too "workerish".

I don't think anybody has tested it.

and would it work as a promotion?
infantry that automatically sork on building a fort when fortified...
reduces the effects of defenders forts and walls,
maybe builds roads to...
