Building improvements in other Civ's territory

[NHJ BV]

In my current game, I'm trying to defend a vassal state (Russia) of mine against a possible Chinese attack. Since a large part of Russia is largely walled off by a mountain range, I tried to construct a few forts in the openings, so that I could easily help Russia defend his lands. Unfortunately, it is not possible to build any improvements in other Civ's territory, not even if they are your vassal.

I went searching through the BTS XML files, trying to change this, but without luck. All I can find in Civ4ImprovementInfos.xml, at IMPROVEMENT_FORT, is the line:

<bOutsideBorders>1</bOutsideBorders>

but it's already set to 1, and it just means you can build forts in neutral lands. Is there any way I can mod the game so I can build in other Civ's lands? It doesn't seem unreasonable to be able to build stuff in your vassal's territory. The forts I want to build are outside his city radiuses anyway.

If anyone knows how to do this, I'd be very grateful!

I am thinking this would require an SDK change to allow you to build in other civ's borders. It's also interesting how if you capture a fort that still technically falls within another civ's borders, you can't use it as an airbase or port.

Yes but only for Warlords. As far as I can find there's no such thing for BtS, or at least none that I can find searching through this behemoth of a forum.

This is also a problem with me. I capitulated Pacal II and in the war I bombed his tile improvements (including his rice farms) to cripple his cities. Now that he's my vasal I want to bully him out of his resources (mainly rice for sushi co) but I can't rebuild his farm and it takes him a long time...
