How to make roads Pillage-able

[Refar]

I really dont like how you cant pillage roads within own cultural boarders. Is there any way to make removing roads possible ?

Easy, you simply need to comment out some code in the function CvUnit::canPillage in CvUnit.cpp

simply change

if (pPlot->isOwned())
{
	if (!potentialWarAction(pPlot))
	{
		if ((pPlot->getImprovementType() == NO_IMPROVEMENT) || (pPlot->getOwnerINLINE() != getOwnerINLINE()))
		{
			return false;
		}
	}
}

into

/*
if (pPlot->isOwned())
{
	if (!potentialWarAction(pPlot))
	{
		if ((pPlot->getImprovementType() == NO_IMPROVEMENT) || (pPlot->getOwnerINLINE() != getOwnerINLINE()))
		{
			return false;
		}
	}
}
*/

and recompile the Dll

It never ceases to frustrate me how one miniscule change such as that requires an overhaul of the SDK, even if it is just commenting out code. Ridiculous.

And before you tell me that SDK modding is "not hard," it is for those of us without the proper program.

Yes This is clearly something that should have been in XML...

But by now i have collected quiote a few things i want to change there. So i think i will have to go and see how to compile the stuff.

And will the AI be able to use this ability this way?

From the looks of it, I'd say the AI can use that ability, but whether it will understand when it is profitable to do so is another question entirely.
