A small but significant thing from civ2 (bridges)

In civ2 you could only build road on terrain with river on it, if you had discovered the advance (bridge building)

This is a good and logical idea
Could this be put into CtP2, where you are only able to place road on river squares if youve discovered (construction) or another appropriate advance.

Code:

HandleEvent(CreateImprovement) 'bridge_effect' pre{
     if(HasRiver(location[0]) && !HasAdvance(player[0], ID_ADVANCE_ENGINEERING)){
            return STOP;
     } else {
            return CONTINUE;
     }
}

It is possible to add such a feature, here is my first trial: No Roads On Rivers v.0.98. It is made for the original game as long as you don't have Masonry you cannot build roads/railroads/maglevs on river tiles.

To install the file just unzip it into your ..\ctp2_data\default\gamedata\ folder and add it to the the *_script.slc('s) of your mod(s).

So simple but such a good idea - but Poly won't let me download... oh well - I'll wait for it to be put in someone's mod (like Pedrunn's

)

whooops, missed out the road bit.

Code:

HandleEvent(CreateImprovement) 'bridge_effect' pre{
     if(HasRiver(location[0]) && !HasAdvance(player[0], ID_ADVANCE_ENGINEERING)){
            if(value[0] == TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_ROAD)
	||  value[0] == TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_RAILROAD)
	||  value[0] == TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_MAGLEV)){
                       return STOP;
            } else {
                       return CONTINUE;
            }
     }
}
