The steam roller is my absolute favorite Civ 3 unit. Vuldacon made it as a present for a request I had for CCM and I am always very thankful for it. The steam roller is a unique wonderful masterpiece with all these different versions of steam, that are used by that unit. Several other prominent unit creators said, that they would have problems to handle the different kinds of steam by such a unit convincingly -Vuldacon managed to do it.With what tech is the I think you call it the steam road roller upgrade to the laborer going to be added?

This said, at present the steam roller in RARR has no place, as it would need a complete rework of the worker strength settings in RARR. In RARR normal workers and serfs have a worker strength of 100, peasants of 125, laborers of 150 and engineers of 175.
According to that post by Jorsalfare, the splitting up of additional worker strength in 25 % steps up to 175 % is irrelevant, as the game does only recognize steps in worker strength of 100 %. This means in the result all these worker typs in RARR have the same effective worker strength. Raising worker strength in 100 % steps would have a big impact to the game and a fix as suggested in that post by multiplying the costs of the worker jobs has the danger to irirritate many players, who are used to those settings since decades.
