Bridges

[gwd20055]

when you discover Engineering the game says you can build bridges ,but i don't see any bridges

 

[sabo]

You won't see them, you automatically don't have a movement penalty anymore crossing rivers

 

[gwd20055]

I didn't know there was a movement cost for rivers , thanks

what a missed opportunity ...they should have workers have to build a bridge ...then there could be a slew of tactics concerning defending/destroying bridges..as there are many tales of bridge battles in history...like the Roman that held a bridge single handedly in one of rome's early wars...william wallace's battle, the germans/allies destroying or trying to capture them...now that i think of it Damns might be nice to add as well- blowing up a damn and watching it flood a plain would make for a nice graphic

Whoa, that's a damn good idea, if I may say so. You should put that in the Civ 4 suggestion forum.

 

[Colonel]

its already in that forum

For further reference, 'Damn' is just spelled Dam.

Nobody likes a spelling police.

In another Sid Meier game, there were two kinds of rivers, Major and Minor I believe they were called. A major river you couldn't cross unles a bridge was built, a minor you could cross anytime. I'd like to see that introduced in Civ as as well. It would add some strategy I think, as you mentioned.

O boy, can't wait for Civ4. I hope they do a good job on it.

I suggested the same idea for SSS. I think it'd be interesting to have factories gain hydroelectric power from a reservoir created by a dam, which then becomes a target for enemies.
