Practical Implementation of Landmines

[Blue Monkey]

A Viking Yeti... or you can see it as the infantry trying to shoot out MANY Mines from a Mine Field (which is what each mine represents) to understand what the Infantry is doing shooting at Mines

Use artillery to bombard the mined tiles.

The AI won't... Not to mention that's extremely unrealistic.

My father (Marine in Korean War) talked a couple of times about tossing grenades into mine fields to try & trigger a series of explosions.

Interesting, but it stills sounds like a waste of ammo', and still looks weird in game.

A Viking Yeti... No offence but I think you should play the Normal CIV games and avoid complaining about Changes that you do not like concerning MODs...unless you personally know of a better, more successful way of gaining what you or others want.

Everyone who tries to make any changes to this game are subjected to the limitations of what we have been given to work with, naturally.

...The Only way to gain everything desired is to Create your Own Game and that includes making the Game Engine and all Factors concerning it.

Sure we would like to have absolute control over everything but that is not the case here. There are many Great Games that have been made from the CIV Games and it was not mandatory that the ability to MOD the Game be included. That is an Extra.
...IF you really Understand all that is involved, lighten up and realize that it was NOT the intention of the Creators of the CIV Games to see to it that anything anyone could think of would be possible to implement within the Gracious Extras they provided within their Great Game.

...Yeah... Well, if all I were doing was complaining, I would've said something like, "Firaxis is ******** for not including an integral aspect of modern warfare.' But I didn't, I offered suggestions. I've listed a number of things I've personally tested in an effort to cooperatively find the most efficient and realistic method of adding land mines. So don't take a single problem I have with a single method someone suggested and act like that's all I've done for the three pages of this thread, 'cause it isn't.

Oh, by the way, if you meant the part about creating your own game cynically, check my sig, 'cause I am making my own game, the game engine and all the factors concerning it.

A Viking Yeti... This thread is about "How" the land mines can be used with the CIV Games...Not what we do not like about the possible ways.

I was not trying to be cynical or offend you. IF you are making your own game engine, I am sure you will include some things that were not included in the CIV Engine to accommodate your particular game. IF your Game does not use something, I doubt you would add the ability for it. There are too many possibilities to cover everything anyone might want even if the game provides the ability to MOD it...Not to mention a tremendous amount of work.
Perhaps you will make a Game Engine that has the ability to accommodate most of what people would want and make it Free for use. That would Please thousands of people for sure

I do intend to do that actually... In any case, discussing how implies discussing the pros and cons. I could state that you could simply make mines another type of infantry, but you'd all shoot me down with the cons inherent in that proposition.
