Xml question: Can air units pillage roads?

[neckface]

An xml newbie asks: is there a way to mod xml allow bombers/fighters to bomb all improvements (specifically ROADS)?

 

[DVS]

I know it can be done, sorry though, I don't know where to do it.

If anybody out there knows of a way to do this without using the SDK, I'd be interesting in hearing about it also.

 

[Refar]

I don't think it is a "XML question", sorry

I was afraid of that, and unfortunately I don't see how it can be done with Python either (at least not easyily).

I'm only guessing, but couldn't civ so be modified, that, when one improvement is destroyed, all improvements on the plots are destroyed?
That could maybe work.

No chance with .xml without sdk, roads/railroads are a different kind of improvement.

That's a start in the right direction. Unfortunately, you still couldn't destroy roads on tiles that don't have an improvement.

hmm

Aren't there mods that do this already? I'm fairly sure I have seen this somewhere. I'll dig around.

Bombing bridges would make more sense than roads, I think. It would be a neat new air mission: If a plot has a river and a route, specifically targetting the route would be possible.

 

[DVS]

@ Ninja2- That would be very cool.

So you're saying, make it possible to bomb railroads, but it impossible to bomb roads unless they are a bridge (river + route).

Perfect idea IMHO.

 

[DVS]

hehe, not exactly what the thread starter wants, he is looking specifically for road bombing.

However for my selfish reasons, I would rather see it work as Ninja2 suggested.

Unfortunately no one on the World 2009 mod has the time to develop this at the moment, but if no one else tackles it in the next couple months, I will try to see what I can do after our mod is released.

I found this mod by Grave, unforunately he removed the download, because he no longer supports it.

Could this be the mod that you where looking for?
