Shipping Shields

[Nate128]

In order to finish certain projects faster, you should be able to ship shields from one city to another. Up to half of the shields each turn can be shipped. The shields move along the roads three squares per turn. Only one city can ship shields to another city at one time. You could just tell the cities governor which city to send the materials to and for how long. If the 2 cities are connected by railroad they move instantly. Still haven't determined time for Airports and Harbors.

Hi Nate,

Check out Trade-Peror's United Economic Theory (UET) thread at

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=85582 There is a great deal of discussion about the vectoring of both shields and food between cities, as well as conversion of 'raw' commodities (food/shields) to 'processed' commodities-as well as a host of other topics regarding production, food and civ economics!
Hope this helps.

Yours,
Aussie_Lurker.

I like your idea, Nate. You can easily complete big projects (wonders) in areas without many shields. Keep up the good work!

I think that the shields moved via airport should reach their destianation instantly, as if they were airlifted. Harbor-Harbor depends on what Meier decides to do with boats in Civ 4
